Beth's Days of Our Lives Page The DoOL Jeopardy! Game FastCounter by LE Hello and welcome to Beth's renewed Days of Our Lives Jeopardy Game! Scroll down to see the latest about this page. You all probably know the world wide famous game-show "Jeopardy!". Well, this game is played in the same manner, only all the categories and all the questions are Days oriented. Before starting, you should know how to play. This section will give you the instructions and explanations you need on how to play. At any time during the game, you can click for Help and will be directed back to this page. In this section... General Overview Page's Layout How to Play About the Questions and Answers Scoring Mathod When the Game is Over How to Contact Us General Overview This game is for One player. Since you are the only player, there is only one "round" and no "final round". You just accumulate 'money' and the more you get, the bigger Days expert you are. So, this is basically a 'test yourself' kind of thing. You can find the questions for many, but not all of these answers, somewhere on my page. The purpose of this game is not to see how well you can navigate my page and find the info that's there, but whether or not the information is permanently planted in that Days brain of yours. I encourage you to answer as many questions as you can without looking them up. If you're really stuck, consult my page, your friends and family, and any other book, magazine, etc. that might help. What Will I see in the Following Page? After you follow the link to the next page, you will encounter a Frame based page. The page will consist of Three Frames. The table below envisions the way the page looks. Main Part - Table Section Question Section Answer Section As you can see, there are Three frames. Each table cell represents a Frame in the Game page. In the Main Part, the categories and amounts table will appear (If you see less than 6 categories, you probably just need to scroll the screen to the right, as the remaining categories just run off to the right side, probably). When you click on an amount, the question will appear in the Question Section, the bottom-left corner Frame. Read the question and answer it out loud. Now, after you have done that, simply, click on the icon that's marked "Answer" and the answer will appear in the Answer Section, the bottom-right corner Frame. Now check and see if you got the answer right. Go back to the Main Part, mark your score (explained later) and click on another amount and from there it's the same procedure. How do I Play this Game? The procedure is fairly simple. The Main Part has the categories and amounts Table. There are 6 categories and 5 amounts in each category, running from $100 to $500. (see below) Category's name 100 200 300 400 500 Score Boxes This is how one category column looks. 1. The first thing you do, is simply choose the category you wish to test yourself in and the amount. 2. Now, as explained, the question will appear in the bottom-left corner Frame. Answer the question out loud. 3. After you answer, click on the "Answer" icon and the answer will appear in the bottom-right corner Frame. 4. Check to see if you got it right, and calculate your score. 5. Now, choose another category and an amount, or stay on the same category and choose another amount and presto! You're back to stage 1. Q&A, or in other words: How Do I Answer these Questions? If you are familiar with the Jeopardy game, skip this section and read about the scoring. Now, as you may know Jeopardy questions are actually 'answers'. The answer is actually a 'question'. For example: Question: He is Sami Brady's twin brother. Answer: Who is Eric Brady?. The answers can only be in the form of Who is? or What is?. 6 categories are offered to you and amounts range from $100 to $500. Each amount represents a different stage of difficulty. $100 is naturally, the easiest and $500, the hardest. Other example: Question: This is Shawn and Caroline Brady's place of business Answer : What is "Brady Pub"? Calculating the Score Attention! Reas this section carefully. As you see, each category column has 2 little boxes at the bottom, called a "pull-down menu box". If you click on one, a pull-down little window appears and in it you'll see amounts running from -1500 to 0 in the negative score box (the top box) and numbers running from 0 to +1500, in the positive score box (the bottom box): -1500, -1400, -1300......0 0......1300, 1400, 1500 Now, if you get an answer correct, you get a positive amount of money. If you got it wrong, you get a negative amount. Each category is scored individually, and in the end of the game, you're to add all the 6 scores you got and that is how much "money" you accumulated. As the game progresses, you'll need either to add or subtract the amounts from the ones already existing in the category's pull-down menu boxes. You will do the math in your head and then highlight the appropriate amount in either the positive or negative pull down menu For example: You're at the beginning of the game and all the amount pull-down menu boxes should read "0". You have selected "The Brady's" for "200" ("I'll take The Bradys for 200, Beth"). The question is: "She is Roman Brady's mother." Now, if you answered: "Who is Caroline Brady?" you got it right and should pull down the positive pull-down menu and select "200". If you answered "Who is Vivian Alamain?" then, you are wrong (and should be ashamed of yourself). Pull down the negative pull-down menu and select -200, since 0 - 200 = -200. For an elaborated example: Let's use "The Bradys" category again. You select "100" this time and get the answer right. Since your current score is -200, you'll add the 100 earned for that question, bringing your new amount to -100, since -200 + 100 + = -100. Pull down the top pull-down menu and select -100. You move on to another category for now, but later, you come back to this category. You choose "500" and get it right. Since -100 + 500 = 400, you'll need to adjust the negative pull-down menu, so it reads zero again and highlight 400 on the positive pull-down menu. Your score is now entirely positive, so you must have "0" in the negative pull-down menu. Now you select "300" in this category and get it wrong, so you select 100 from the positive pull-down menu (again, since 400 - 300 = 100). Now, you choose "400" in this category and get it wrong, now you need to select -300 from the negative pull-down box, since 100 - 400 = -300. You should switch the positive pull down menu back to "0." And so on, until you have finished the category. One last note: Either the positive or negative pull-down menu will always read zero, depending on if your score is positive or negative. When does the Game End? The game ends either when you're fed up with it, or when you've answered all 30 questions. Alternatively, you can get a stopwatch and decide upon a reasonable amount of time to play this game. When the time's up, the game ends. After the game is over (whichever way you decided to play) simply check the amounts in each of the 6 categories' pull-down menu amount boxes. Now, add them all up and that is your score! If you ended up with a negative amount, then you are not much of a Days expert and should reacquaint yourself with the show and its history. The highest amount you can reach is $9000. If you did, you are a true Days professor and should think of opening a Days Internet site (if you don't already have one) and let us all share your amazing knowledge of the show. If you got a reasonable amount, then you've obviously been watching for a while, but could still study up on the facts.
