Guess I’m a member of the geek brigade, too. I was on a local show, “Junior High Quiz.” We had a kid who could spell anything; as soon as he heard the word “spell,” he’d buzz in and the host would already be pronouncing the spelling word. This technique worked through at least 4 matches. During the championship round, the regular host was pregnant and on leave. The substitute, shocked by the early buzzer, just froze, saying "spell . . . " The judge threw the question out and we lost by just that margin.
