3 college idots on Jeopardy
« on: May 16, 2013, 08:47:32 PM »
All 3 of them missed an easy final question. the category is 20th Century Presidents.

These 2 men served first as vice president, then president, consecutively but in reverse order of their VP terms.


OK, this was the 3 finallists in the tournament, they're certainly not dumb. How did they all miss such an easy question??

First of all, it's an answer, not a question.
Secondly, I can't figure out the answer.  I'd guess one is Nixon, but the other would be Truman?   :dunno:
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

Good guess!!!  :thumbup:

You're right about Nixon but since their Pres. terms were the reverse order, that would make it L.B.J.

They were vice presidents back to back AND presidents back to back.

Okay, I get the VP to President, but the reverse order thing is throwing me.

Eisenhower & Nixon
Kennedy & Johnson
Johnson & no one (assassination successor)
Nixon & Agnew ? ? ? ? ? 

How is this reverse order?
