Last night, they had the category of "Tech Support". I almost died when I saw them taping that show (they do a whole week of shows in a day, and I was waiting patiently for my name to be randomly drawn). I was desperately hoping for "Symmetric block ciphers" or "Rootkits", but alas...at least, there were a few Q's that went my way...

Re: Defcon on Jeopardy!

Wow, that is a crazy story! Did you flash any secret binary hand signals?

LOL! No, but the guys were trying to get me to put down something crazy if I had a huge lead going into Final Jeopardy...something like, "WHAT IS: SNAPE KILLED DUMBLEDORE?" I won't say if I got the opportunity...

Just the number 4, right?

Wouldn't the value depend on which direction you started counting from, if the thumb were not included?

I can see how that would work if you stared from the pinkie-finger, or started with the thumb as one.

Watch Jeopardy! this Friday, Jan. 5, 2007.

I finally got my big chance to go on the show, and during my mid-game banter with Alex Trebek after the first commercial break, I got to mention Defcon.

They ask you ahead of time for a number of talking points, but you never know what Alex is going to pull.

I think I said something along the lines of how it was our team's goal to qualify for CTF (I called it the world championship of hacking) at this year's Defcon...

No, I cannot divulge the outcome of the J! game ahead of time, and I did not get a chance to bet $1337, but I had a fun time. w00t!!
