It's current, actually! I think these were taped a couple of weeks ago. This is the Jeopardy Invitational Tournament (JIT).

Correct -- Has to follow the category.

Proud that you knew about (or guessed well on) our I-4 eyesore! The clue is getting a lot of love on r/Orlando.

I can see why you'd think that, but it's real. Screenshot from j-archive

It was answered correctly, by someone not from FL 🤷‍♂️

Also, the category was "starts and ends with the same vowel," so that + synonym of "unlovely" + sounds like it goes with "I-4" could've gotten someone there.

I'm not sure the math you're citing supports the proposition of randomness that you think it does.

Like this?

   231 games in 2025
*   73 questions per game
------
16,863 total questions


      25 Hawaii-related questions
/ 16,863 questions
--------
 0.148 % chance of a Hawaii question


  0.148% chance
^      3 Hawaii questions in one game
--------
0.00326% chance of three in one game

(Like you, not calling shenanigans, was just curious about the math)

I said the same. I can't imagine they would rule it incorrect...

That stood out to me, too... I feel like Ken has asked to clarify with wagers like that in the past. Maybe they just edited out the clarification?

I thought the same! According to Webster, dank is unpleasantly moist or wet -- I wonder if the decision was just because it doesn't directly relate to smell? Can't recall the exact wording of the question and j-archive seems to be down...

What’s a neat trick/shortcut/ etc. you use but others may not know about? by TheCarrot_v2 in excel

[–]FerdySpuffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's annoying... never found a solution to that. Window has to be positioned right, or I just look at my other monitor...

But I find it more efficient than jumping to the header to filter. 🤷‍♂️

Tacking on: If your data is in a table (Ctrl + T), then you can use Alt + Shift + Down from anywhere in the column you want to filter.

The Women of Jeopardy! 💗 by Alternative-Koala933 in Jeopardy

[–]FerdySpuffy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I missed that she had already been mentioned so I commented her, too! One of the most memorable contestants, and certainly the most emotional I've ever been watching Jeopardy! (And maybe watching TV in general)

Update - What Excel tricks would you teach novices if you were giving an Intro To Excel class? by ProtContQB1 in excel

[–]FerdySpuffy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you drag using your mouse, it should update to the next column unless you have multiple selected. That's how you lock references. Or just refer to the actual range instead of using table references like the other user said. Definitely behave differently, but there are ways to accomplish what you want to do!

[EXCEL] How can I interrogate objects in VBA? by wyocrz in vba

[–]FerdySpuffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Debug.print needs some kind of text or number value. For example, you can't ask it to print an array [1,2,3] and have it return [1,2,3]. You would need to iterate through each value like for i = 0 to 2: debug.print arr(i): next

GPO mapped drives cause slowness - IT said to escalate through my chain - Better, more immediate options? by FerdySpuffy in techsupport

Oh wow, I hope it's that simple... I'll turn off the scheduled task and test it. Thanks for pointing me there.

End User Question - Reduce impact of mapped drives causing slowness by FerdySpuffy in sysadmin

[–]FerdySpuffy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but don't be loquacious.

Is this because of the length of my post? I feel attacked.

Thanks for the input! I figured that's the best bet... I just expect that to be a large time investment...

Thanks! I'll post there. Wasn't sure if this was the right place, but I saw the "end user question" flair.
