Geocacher On Jeopardy Tv Show

[+RichAromas]

Thanks! They actually edited my description a bit, since Alex was rather confused, asking questions about whether it was a team or individual thing, and something else I don't remember that was decidedly irrelevant.

[+Airmapper]

WOW, you confused Alex. Good goin'.

Great job on the show, Rich. My jaw nearly dropped when I heard the word "geocaching" mentioned on Jeopardy.

Yes, thanks.

 

I got a nice chuckle from Alex's parting comment.

 

Rich,

 

Everyone is quite correct. You came off like a pro at explaining our sport in just a few seconds. I would have totally effed that part up. Kudos dude.

 

Everyone else should practice that short speech for the almost inevitable time you need to quickly explain it to the fuzz.

Very smooth job, Rich! Thanks for the geo-plug. Got two emails from relatives after the show. I guess I have a "rep" in the family. You get a free "bonus question" answer if you ever come down to SoCal & do one of our Disney Multi-Virtuals!

Canadian or Geocacher.????? Well, being Canadian I ended up not taking sides (go figure)

Now that's funny!

WTG Rich, thats a good way to make Geocaching known to the public. If only we had more genius cachers.

 

I caught the tail end of the show the other day.

 

The question(s) What do you get/ win? Is a popular question among people you are trying to explain Geocaching to.

Thanks, what do ya know, it actually ran on my computer. I might just keep it and show people that cachers are commonplace, and intelligent people.

[Team CCM]

Awesome job on Jeopardy. We rooted for you.

[+Frankie & Johnny]

I detect something behind the grassy knoll.

A final question related to a British PM asked by a host who is also a Canadian.

Hmmmmmmmm.

[+HaLiJuSaPa]

Rich, did you go to RPI in Troy, NY (since it appears you mention it in an earlier post to this forum)? If you did, what years did you go? I was there from 1985-89.

Yes, but from 1974-1978, about 10 years before you! Majored in Computer Science one of the first years it was offered - prior to that, it was a "concentration" of a Math major. I was there when the computers were in Amos Eaton Hall, before the creation of the new computer center in the old church! I don't mean to derail the thread, though... but feel free to PM me if you like!

Has anybody heard if that geocaching family who taped a Wife Swap episode a while back will ever get on the air?

[nobby.nobbs]

well it went very quiet and don't they have to keep it secret? so that would suggest that it was made and has yet to air. then he can presumably tell us about it again.

when it comes on who fancies taping it and sending it over to me??? go on pretty please.
