Ive recently installed a new motorised satellite dish larger (over 1 meter) than the one I had previously and now can recieve MBC4 from the Dubai area of the Middle East.

This station airs Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune from copyright its 2004.

So my main question is from the information in this message anyway to find out if the episodes today aired a pre or post Ken Jennings run.

Jeopardy info:

Contestants:

Champion - Megan
Middle - Karen
Right - Tom

Tom ends up becoming champion with a score of $40,600 and the final Jeopardy was something to do with Shakespears signature.

Wheel of Fortune info:

They are on a "Winter Wonderland" set which looks to be in their California studios and it has a chalet on set.

Im guessing both episodes are from the same week, well Im hoping.

Cheers.

Recently the channel has changed satellite to a one actually owned by Arabsat so the power has increased to even easier access here in the UK.

Todays episode was:

I admit I get confused by the international standard for dates, especially when a date looks like it could work either way, but aren't both of those international? (December 9 and November 30?)

Strictly speaking, remlap's confusion would be valid. In the date formats of many formats, there is a leading zero where something is single digits (mm/dd/yyyy) USA is one of those countries that does things its own way (m/d/yy), and so it would be reasonable to read the first date as September 12.

Doesn't explain why he understood the rest of the message where he was told he was late. But still...

Its just as bad in my head for things, Im litterally the product of the first year where metric and imperial were taught in British Schools and most of the text books in Infants and Primary school's where Imperial.

So height of a person I work in Feet, measuring in metric, weight in imperial and the tempertature in metric.

And a mixture in between if I have to.

There are certain parts of my body I measure in metric. Makes 'em seem bigger.

Im actually using this post to keep myself how far back they are.

Since my last post was on Jan 12 2007 = May 18 2005

Today April 13 2007 = October 5 2005

So we are adding five months for every three months real time, this is with no reruns at all.

Also today its a Wheel of Fortunes from New Orelans with the the message before hand.
