I have never seen anyone struggle with the buzzer the way that John (the one in the middle) did tonight.

He was pressing that buzzer so fast and furious, I was expecting he would break his thumb. But that didn't happen.

I was also expecting him to just stay there pressing and pressing the buzzer even after Alex told them all to put down their "signalling buttons".

By the way, do you know why Alex calls them "signalling buttons"? It's because in Canada, "buzzer" is considered a very rude word (too close to "buzzard").

We Canadians can get pretty strange about some things sometimes.

As far as Stefan goes, the thing that really blew me away was his knowledge of tiny countries and capitals. It seemed to me he knew a few African country names that I had never even heard of. Plus he knew the capital cities of some really tiny countries.

If I thought there was any possibility, I'd almost think somehow Stefan got the answers in advance. But the truth is probably just the guy knows an incredible amount of stuff.

How could he ever have learned all that stuff in such a short life span "testing video games"? Or whatever he does. Where would he have gotten the time to learn all this stuff?

If I was ever a contestant (which I would never be cuz I'm not knowledgeable enough), I would have a few categories of facts to memorize - like the names and dates of all US presidents together with their VPs and who they defeated. It seems that every show one or two questions ask for those facts.

I wonder if someone has ever made a list of fact categories like that for Jeopardy? I'm guessing may memorizing a few dozen fact categories could give you the answers to maybe 25 questions per game. I'm gonna go look in Wikipedia. I'm thinking maybe someone might have produced such a list of categories.
