As an IT Professional I felt like the smartest man in the world when they got 3 or 4 triple stumpers in the "Cybersecurity" category as well the Willy Wonka quote one

As someone that's watched Willy Wonka no less than 20ish times, I got it right away and was shocked none of them knew it. I had a very similar reaction to Sandler in that GIF

Not exactly sure.
How long is the timer for answering questions? Something they can cut for tv to shorten a show so I’ve never know if that is actual timer time or made for tv timer time.

Ken played a lot like
James but ken was always better at trivia. That’s the way I see it

Agree. Ken is the best, but he had to adapt to James' strategy. I was really hoping James would get the final question right. Ken always crushed the Shakespeare categories and when the final question was on Shakespeare I thought the match was over.

Really enjoyed the tournament.

I agree, plus his final jeopardy wager was pretty smart. He was pretty sure he knew the answer, but bet $0 knowing James would go all in on a topic he wasn't as well versed in and would likely lose all. Ken is a brilliant player.

Wow James choked on the final question.

He always sucked at Shakespeare. I'm willing to bet he hasn't read more than 2 of them. Iago was so easy, he never shuts the **** up the entire play.

5sec for normal questions, 30sec for Final Jeopardy are the official rules.

To reduce time for the show, they normally cut the time between the contestant saying "Category A for 800" and Alex starting to read the question, apparently it's much slower (like a couple seconds instead of instant) in real life because he reads everything off paper cards.
