This week, and this week only, the Jeopardy Online test allows would-be players from around North America the chance to get closer to being on the show. Just imagine… you, Alex Trebek, and the chance to win a whole lot of cake.

To avoid people cheating, the tests are done online, in real time. There are 50 questions, and you have only 15 seconds to answer each one. And no, you don’t have to answer in the form of a question. You have to pre-register on the site, by the way, and if you’re interested, you better get moving. The first test is tonight, and you’ve already missed it. But there’s a test tomorrow evening, and one on Thursday. Each of them is recommended for people living in a particular time-zone, but it’s not a hard and fast rule. So anybody can sign up for tomorrow or Thursday’s test.

So what if you enter, and you do awesome, do you get invited to go on the show? Well, no, it’s not quite that easy. Players who do well in the online test, will be invited to an audition.
