Jeopardy

I remember the day in the fourth grade when I was home sick and watching daytime TV,  and the quiz show's original host Art Fleming asked this Final Jeopardy question:

Which lake is at the highest elevation?

I yelled out Lake Titicaca! I was right and felt like a genius.

Nearly 50 years later I'm still watching, shouting out the answers, often with our boys when they're home. We share the addiction.

So, this story  - - What it's like to be on Jeopardy - - really struck a chord. The author, tech journalist Glenn Fleishman, is featured below.



P.S. The web says Lake Titicaca isn't even in the top 10 of the highest elevated lakes, but it is world's highest navigable lake.
