Friday Question NOT from the Book of Questions What is your very best Jeopardy! category? Your worst?
I can usually run vocabulary categories. And I'm very strong on literature, history and art. I'm terrible at all TV/ pop culture categories.

I'm great at TV shows and gimmicky categories, like the ones where all of the answers begin with a certain letter/word. I suuuuuuuuuuuuuuck at Bible (was raised Catholic...Bible what?) and sports categories.

I'm pretty strong across the board, especially in things like history, culture, media, sciences, etc. I'm worthless in things like opera, classical music, 19th century authors, etc. Anything dealing with math is a lost category for me, too. I'm also not very good at categories like anagrams, mostly because I can't work the puzzle quick enough.

Best: Which Olsen Twin Is This?
Worst: honestly, probably everything else.

Sports is definitely the place where I'm doomed. Unless the questions are "What kind of ball is this?" There's a few sports that I'm into but I have zero information stored in my head about them.

Worst for me is current popular culture things (television, pop music) and I have a lot of gaps in Literature and Art. I almost always nail wordplay categories like Before and After or Anagrams, and the questions in Science are usually eye-rollingly easy (argh why don't they know this one how can you not know it's "Triton" geez).

I'm best at questions about animals and current (since the 80's) events.
However, I know next to nothing about celebrities, TV, movies, royalty or even current music.

We don't have "Jeopardy" in the UK, so this question has gone right over my head.
