Kryllith Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Anyone see Beat the Geeks yesterday (Thursday)? I only caught the end of it, but the contestant/geek showdown involved a Star Wars geek. I couldn't believe how piddly the level 3 questions were. The first one was... Who were the two ghostly characters standing next to Yoda at the end of Return of the Jedi, and who were the actors that played them. The other one was... What is the name of the microscopic lifeform that Jedis use to measure Force sensitivity in individuals, and what is the name of the Jedi artifacts which are used to learning or storing ancient knowledge. In both cases my reaction to the questions were the same as the Star Wars geek (basically a "How do you justify this simple question as a level 3 question?"). Of course, the contestant got the "What weapon did Luke Skywalker use to destroy the first Death Star?" question wrong. He said "photon torpedo." Maybe he thought he was facing the Star Trek geek. (Am I a geek or what? ) Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xyphox Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 I love beat the geeks. I couldn't believe he got the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid feild wrong by eight. He knows a whole lot about star wars. It's kinda scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda_623 Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 I missed that one too. I always wanted to try to see how many questions I could get right off of a Star Wars geek. Oh, well maybe they'll re-air it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmith Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 3720 to 1? Not sure ... the chance of beating geek is only 458 to 1! j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryllith Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Those odds sound correct. What's the odds of surving a direct attack against an Imperial Star Destroyer? Oh, and I would have beaten that geek. Of course, since I would have been asked the questions first, I would have had the advantage.

Holo-Sidious Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 "Sir, the odds of surviving a direct assault against an Imperial Star Destroyer are..." "Shut up!" Princess Leia getting a little moody there... However, this scene did tell us that no ship that small has a cloaking device. Hmmm... random fact there... Poor Captain Needa...
