Years ago the questions were harder. I think they dumbed them down
quite a bit to make them more generic.

You have just gotten smarter. ;~)


Jeff may or may not have gotten smarter, but the questions on Jeopardy
have definitely been dumbed down. And lots more questions on TV, movies,
and sports than there used to be. With correspondingly less on science,
history, etc..

OTOH, Ask Marilyn has been dumbed down so far anybody who hadn't read it
for a year or two wouldn't even recognize it. Sheesh!


Yep , more tv , movies.. never used to be.

I used to enjoy ASK Marilyn, used to be tough questions. Now pretty
basic stuff.
