[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 8245143, member: 111387"]'Jeopardy' is not so much about knowing all of the correct questions to ask. It's about being able to discern the correct question faster than one's opponents. It's akin to the joke about the two hikers(or in this case, three contestants) that are confronted by a bear in the woods. One doesn't have to be able to run faster than the bear. They merely have to be faster than the other person(s). For a person whose mind operates as an information sink, 'Jeopardy' by-in-large is fairly elementary trivia. The skill comes in being able to discern the question earliest while the answer is still being stated.. Therefore, being first to the buzzer. Your point rings true. Many experienced collectors could do the job; when given an open-ended amount of time. However, efficiency would be the name of the game here. Whereas many collectors specialize in select areas, a numismatist ought to be well-versed in most all areas. The job would demand a person that is methodical enough to be both expeditious and exacting most all of the time.[/QUOTE]
