OK, no specific N Scale questions, but guess what topic has finally made it into Jeopardy! Skip to about 1:27 for the start of the category. ("I'll take 'Ridiculous Reader's Digest Toys' for zero, Ken.")
I'd have been stumped on the "trestle bridge" question regarding the "X-Shaped pilings", thinking that all bridges are trestles. But I guess it too is a type of bridge. The table seen here is thus called a trestle table for its design. (The bear cares not and is concerned only with another meal before hibernation.)
I got the trestle question right just because trestles have the X shaped braces. I wonder if the show was really correct about X shaped pilings. Pilings are just straight supports driven into the ground. "Ken"...er...ah...Massey just showing off. Doug
When I was a kid, I was really good at Trivial Pursuit, but my parents thought I was too young to play. I got upset with them over not being able to play, so I would blurt out the answers when someone would ask a question from those cards. I got in trouble many times over this. Then they let me play, but after a couple games no one wanted to play with me any more . Ahh the memories of the 80’s
UMTRR: I have people say the same thing to me, but I have (apparently wisely) never taken the test knowing that it is better to think I might pass it than to know I didn't. After reading your experience, I now know I made the correct choice. Doug: At least I got all 5 MRR questions (and a bunch of the other questions) correct. I only got to visit Caboose Hobbies once and that was very brief and a long time ago. Always intended to get back there some day...that day never came. I also almost said truss bridge (double truss?) since the X's are only supports holding the pilings in place but caught myself before that.
Let's see Do I dare stir up the hornets nest? I quit watching Jeopardy years ago. The dresses got to long. Say what ? What did I say? Model Railroading is when you model a railroad with lot's of realism, could be freelanced or copy cat of someone else's. For prototypical operations. Toy Trains (aren't they all) is building a train layout so you can run trains in loopity loops. Around and around until you need to go take a Dramamine or lose it on the floor. Well, for some of us that would be true. i built something in between the two. My layout is freelanced, with lot's of realism built in and prototypical operations. When the kids are over outcome the B-mann toy trains. What i have left. Hidden away is my expensive stuff. They aren't getting their greedy, destructo little hands on my good stuff. It is whatever you make it to be.
The various iterations of the video posted by several were pulled by Sony faster than you can say "woo woo woo". Oh, well. "I'll take Copyright Infringement for $200..."
The Jeopardy folks would rather not have you know that their half hour show contains less than 19 minutes of actual content. I recall there being a compendium of all of the clues presented as plain text, by show, day by day, but as usual I can't locate a URL given my "excellent" filing system.
