Things I should have gotten correct on the Jeopardy test, but couldn't pull out of my brain in under fifteen seconds:

* The architect in The Fountainhead is loosely based on Frank Lloyd Wright (I’ve never read it, but should have been able to guess this).

* Polonius’ son in Hamlet is Laertes (I KNEW this one, but had a brain fart).

I DID manage to come up with both Justin Timberlake and The Lost Symbol without too much hesitation, and a few more-obscure answers as well, so it probably makes up for it. 50 questions in 12.5 minutes is a pretty breakneck pace, if you’re just taking the test for kicks. I’m sure there are folks who cram and prepare and practice practice practice for these things, but I’m not sure I’m cut out for sober trivia anymore.
