As some of you know (and, I guess, the rest of you know now), I have an audition for a syndicated television quiz show coming up on Monday. As part of the application form, there are a series of questions that I’m inviting you—yes, you, my loyal readers—to help me answer (in the comments, of course).
- What is the first thing you would do with $1 million?
- What would [game show host] find most interesting about you?
- What are the three things you want to do before you die?
- Complete this sentence – You’d never believe it but I…
- What is your most embarrassing moment?
- I could be in the Guinness Book of World Records for…?
- Do you have any bad habits or habits you know annoy other people?
- If you had three wishes what would they be?
While it’s trivial to figure out what show exactly I’m aiming for, I’m not naming the show (nor the host) for the same reason I’ve never mentioned the name of my school here.
I would donate half to starting a foundation in my town for Chess in schools. Chess adds an element to kids' education that is measurable in so many ways. I would also encourage you to do the same for me! :-)
I don't know you, and would be completely unable to answer the questions about you. I'd have all kinds of quirky answers for the rest of them, though!
