For freshman William Scott,debuting on the exhibit this week, “know your trivia” is the answerHow do you prepare to be on Jeopardy!, and the classic game exhibit? William Scott’s strategy was watching as many episodes as he could,studying the conventions of categories such as Potent Potables and Before & After. That, and playing along while holding “one of those pens that makes obnoxious clicking sounds” to practice buzzing in.
“It’s tough to learn all of anything that anyone could demand you on Jeopardy!” the Tufts freshman said, and “but learning about the format,that is manageable.”
