After auditioning for the show for 12 years, Lindsay Peet finally competed on “Jeopardy!” in February.
Peet has watched “Jeopardy!” since he was a kid in New York. Although he has always loved learning, it was not until he lost his thumb in a pipe threader accident that he took some time away from the hands-on aspect of plumbing for college courses — and auditioned for the show.
The show’s test consists of 50 questions from 50 categories. Those who audition must score at least 70 percent to qualify for the second-round audition: a mini version of the game.
