Jeopardy

So....last night at 7:30pm Connor and I hurried home from Tae Kwon do lessons so that Connor could tryout for the kids' Jeopardy Game. A few months ago, we saw that tryouts for the TV show Jeopardy were going to be in our area in Feb., and we signed Connor up to take part. At 7:45pm sharp we logged into our account. We watched the clock tick down. All Connor had to do was answer 30 questions correctly (each within 20 seconds) and he would be entered into the pool of contestants considered for the show next year. If he was drawn from the pool, he would be interviewed and go through another round of questions in NYC. We just decided it would be fun, and a learning experience. Yes, it was. Nervously, Connor waited for the game to begin. About 4 minutes into it, he started yelling and calling himself an idiot. Oops. What happened? Well, instead of hitting the "submit" button after each question was asked, he realized (after 10-15 questions) that he was hitting the "skip" button. When he figured out his mistake, it was too late to do anything but exit out of the game. Of course, he was upset and disappointed, but really, the odds of him actually getting onto the show were slim anyway. He did, however, learn the importance of reading the directions carefully, even on a timed test.
