I'll take FoxTeam for $1000, Alex
The Answer is: "This Fox team member was once an MVP and visible member of the Fox community before joining Microsoft 2001 to as Software Design Engineer/Test on the VFP team.". Question: "Who is John Koziol?"
I'm a little late getting this posted, but I received the following email with the subject "Johnny goes to Hollywood", from John earlier this week:
Good luck, John!

Hi friends!
Well, not quite. Where I am going is San Francisco for an audition for the gameshow Jeorpardy! (Very popular here). I don’t know why I was lucky enough to be selected for the audition, but I’m psyched. Some of you may know that I’m a trivia, English language, and factoid demon; I love that stuff.
To pass the audition, I have to answer 35 out of 50 written questions correctly in 15 minutes. Supposedly, there’s about a 15-20% pass rate. If you pass you do a mock game with the buzzers and the life to ensure that you have a modicum of stage presence and won’t fall apart under pressure. I read one account from a successful contestant whom estimated that about ˝ the people who make it to the mock game are eliminated on “style points”.
If I pass these hurdles, I’m entered into the contestant list for this season. Supposedly, those chosen in the spring have an excellent chance of making the show soon especially if they had good test scores and looked passable on stage.
Sooo….wish me luck!
PS: I will wear a small Foxhead lapel pin on my suit. Still trying to figure a way to mention VFP on-the-air, if I make it that far.
Good luck, John!
