Alright, Colin… this is me *trying* not to make things worse for you, but I need you to know: prompts on Jeopardy are “answered” with the questions and NOT the answer. So, contestants rarely say they don’t know. For example, the prompt would be “recently laid off writer known to frequently whine in public.” The player responding would say “who is Colin?” Then the host would be like “ah poor guy, great newsletter though. 800 points!.”
Anyways… I’m sorry for implying you don’t know the rules of Jeopardy. It’s just that my life as a recent college graduate and young human being is also a mess. I’m a full-time caregiver to my 92-year-old grandma! I DON’T KNOW how to do it. We obviously watch Jeopardy like every night together.
If anything, it’s one less thing to say you don’t know!
Ok but hear me out - isn't the question then technically the answer? If you're answering in the form of a question, you're still answering, right? (I have a hard time admitting I'm wrong.) Thanks for reading and shout out to you for taking care of your grandma!!
OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I've also said a lot of 'I don't know' this past few months (apparently, being a senior in undergrad results in lots of 'what are you going to do with your life' questions). But this made me feel comfortable embracing the unknown and being okay with not knowing. Anyways, I'll be living in my unknown bubble with my shrimp tempura and Taylor swift songs (still obsessed with All Too Well). Have a lovely day, everyone 🤍
You're just amazing!! Can't wait for the newsletter
Thank you so much!
