I certainly wouldn't be one of those men. When I watch, not often, I'm lucky to be able to answer 15%. Frankly, many of the jeopardy answers were about "things" that I would never care to know about. To each his own.

Deaths associated with eating raw shellfish reported across Florida - Orlando Sentinel

It didn't say snails, just mollusks and shellfish. AND it doesn't mention encephalitis. I am off my game.

Didn't see any mention of a brain entrée on the article's menu. I think people would be much more familiar with another Vibrio species---Vibrio cholera. Nevertheless, I'm going to pass on raw Florida oysters for a while

I think you'll be disappointed in this quiz----While I got 10/10 in less than 1 1/2 minutes, I could have got the same score in 2nd grade. You'll have no problem with it.
