Cal, both my wife and I are Jeopardy fans and have been for many years. We have been watching the current Masters series and have been impressed with the breadth of knowledge of the group of 6 players and the speed with which they can come up with the answers.

There are certain topics in which I feel able to keep up with their pace - U.S. and World history, poetry and literature and geography. However, when the topic turns to pop culture as it seems to for at least one category per game, we both just sit their blankly.

I don't know how a person could prepare for such a competition. There are so many potential topics to master. Perhaps your thought on trivia books might be useful, since many times what is required is broad rather than deep knowledge.
