Hi Arthur! I was a big fan, especially after I found your twitter. I have a couple questions

  • You mentioned a couple times that you studied for jeopardy. How long and how often did you study? Do you think you could’ve made it so far with just your prior knowledge?
  • Do you think your live-tweeting helped or hurt your reputation among jeopardy fans?
  • Do you interact with the other competitors at all? How about Trebek?
  • Since most of these episodes are filmed in close proximity to each other, had word “gotten out” to the other contestants that you were on a streak between the filming of other episodes?

Also, I got the “cynicism” daily double wrong as “egoism”, too. I feel your pain and I’ll still vouch for your response.

It would also be pretty awesome if there was another Reddit AMAs category on the show and you were a question.

Hey guys, you've changed your instrumentation/set-up/whatever the musical term is a lot since your first releases when you had a simple set up with two people in the band. How do you think having more band members has affected the sound you try to achieve?

Hi, huge fan of the publication. I've got a couple questions about it:

  1. The economist doesn't use bylines. Does the newsroom still have a noticeable hierarchy of "hotshot" writers versus average ones despite this?

  2. Most of your stories are relatively short compared to other news publications, but every now and then you release a long, extremely thorough piece (i.e. last year's democracy paper.) How do you decide the topic for the longer pieces, and what extra considerations are taken in comparison to publications that do that kind of work more frequently?

3. Is there any particular reason you choose to limit the number of free articles a user can read, opposed to the unlimited approach many other publications have taken? Seems like you answered this one above

Wow. I always thought it was just some huge stencil type thing or a stamp. Would this work on any type of grass? Would I be able to put the family crest on my front lawn?

Do you use stencils for them?
