Description
Welcome to a world where obscure information is crucial to survival, vast sums of cash are at stake, and milliseconds can change not just a game but the course of your life. Bob Harris's comic account of one man's unlikely journey gleefully explores triumph and failure, the nature of memory, and how knowledge itself can transform you in unpredictable ways--all against the backdrop of the most popular quiz show in history. Bob chronicles his transformation from a struggling stand-up who repeatedly fails the audition test into an elite player. Filled with secrets that only a veteran contestant could share--from counterintuitive game strategies to Jedi-like tactics with the Jeopardy! signaling device--the book also gives you the chance to play along with the actual clues that led to victory or defeat in high-level tournaments, plus candid reflections on how the game affected Bob's offstage life--and vice versa.--From publisher description.
