Jeopardy contestant wagers "1337" on final jeopardy..
Not sure if anyone saw today's episode, but the dude who won the match wagered "1337" on the final jeopardy question. It was obvious it was meant in the "leet" sense because earlier there had been a category on video games and he easily knew all the questions. Anyway, I found it amusing and I'm sure he's gonna have a ball talkin about it on irc later. :P
BTW, the guy was like 20 years old...(it was the college championship) |
hehe, thats pretty cool and so very nerdy.
Keep up the good work I say. |
I would pay good money to see that.
|
|
Awesome! What a geek :D
Did he win? |
My girl was wondering what in the hell I was laughing at when we saw this. She's not a gamer so I had to 'splain. :icare: She's so cute.

Haha, yeah I saw it and had a good laugh.
|
YES! I saw that. It took me a minute to realize why I recognized that number, and then I busted out laughing. The silent shout-out to all the nerds and gamers! That was just cool.
|
(nevermind)
|
Can someone please explain to me what 1337 is, cuz i have no idea whats you guys are talking about?
|
Ah...thanks to WikiPedia I can say:
1 = l, 3= e and 7=t => leet Quote:
|
Hehehe...... thats awesome. I wish i would of seen that, to see the other people on the shows reactions.
|
That's ballsy...
|
That is pure comedy! I love low key geek references like that
|
That is so good. I wish I'd seen it. Thanks for bringing to our attention man
|
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!! That is pretty damn funny though.
|
haha that's awesome :) With such an obscure wager, did Trebeck make any comment on it at all? I suppose he wouldn't, but you never know.
|
hmm, this is one time I would like to find a torrent to that particular episode. I wish I caught Jeopardy more often, but it is just difficult at times.
I would have laughed my ass off if I had seen that wager. I think it was last week I had to explain to my roommate what 1337 meant. |
makes me wonder how many of the average americans were going what is he wagering so low for
|
wow, that is awesome, he's reppin the computer industry!
|
Makes me wish I had my camera with me when I saw a billboard on the subway tagged in leet. I was like "are the 14 year old nerds packing heat now?"
|
In regards to that wikipedia excerpt, do any true hackers use 1337-speak anymore? I know that if I ever become one, I wouldn't. Too much association with lame CS players.
|
You'd like to think the association with lamers would stop people from using it, but every time
I talk with my one buddy on AIM (who's definitely NOT a lamer) always uses leet speak at least once, or a weird computer-forums word in place of the real word, like b7 instead of banned. |
Hahaha, that would've been funny to see.
