Okay, we've got beer, we got balls, we got our team, we got Kitty. She was our van
of vinyl back in the good old days. I'm not going to mention what year, but
suffice it to say, since the year we met, that time could be drinking already.
So what we're going to do now is we've got our cast. I'd like to introduce you
to our crew, and we'll get going with Hacker Jeopardy. As you know, the rules
of the game are this. It's played like regular Jeopardy, except with teams of
three. In addition, we offer a very special incentive. For every beer that
you consume completely, you get 100 points. It's got to be finished. At the end
of the game, we count up your points in your beer, and that's what you have going
into final Jeopardy. If you get a double Jeopardy question right, you get to
interact, in some manner of speaking, with our beautiful ladies up here on the
counter. If you get it wrong, bad things happen. We've made special provision for
room-temperature non-alcoholic beer. That's the null beer. That gets into the
queue, and it's a denial-of-service attack on your beer points. If you blow
your beer out, all your points go back to zero. That's the Humperdink rule. After
Chris blew out everything in, what, was it 1998 or 99? Whatever it was, it's a rule
on the deck. No sequel injection on the final. One of the teams won four or five
years ago because they sequel injected their team name, because nobody had the
right answer. That's been patched. What else we got? We cover it all? Yeah, we'll
make it up as we go along. I'm Judge Jerry Executioner. When I say
go so you don't like it, fuck you. Let's go. And so now, without further ado, I'd like to
introduce you to the beautiful ladies who helped make this show work. First we
have, all the way from Florida, Sophie! Best, best part of my job. Sophie is here
to administer pleasure and punishment. In addition, we have, who wants to go first? We
have the beautiful and lovely Mink. Shall I introduce you as that? Is Mink
refers, is that a verb or a noun? Because I know what they say about Minks. But
anyway, I was in Denver a couple weeks ago, caught up with a 303 meeting, and I
met this lovely lady. So come on up and meet Vanna Vinyl for 2016. Hey, where's
my kiss? And also we have Beer Betty this year. Now, of course, you got Wynn
Schwartau, the old Wynn. Really old, the guy had to come in in a rascal for
crying out loud. Where's your cholestomy bag, dude? Anyway, this year we've
replaced this old Wynn with new Wynn. And Wynn will be making sure that everybody
is well-beared and taken care of. And, of course, the audience favorite, the man
you're all longing to get in bed with, the ref. And the best part of this, the
person who's going to make it all happen on the back, Edward! Come on in! Okay, Dave,
I need the team names. We're gonna go ahead and we're gonna get rolling. So
what we're gonna do here, let's go ahead and we're gonna call up three teams.
We've gone through a number of qualifiers. If you want to play and you didn't sign
up tomorrow, it's going to be 11 to 12. We gave up the 10 o'clock slot to the
Feds. Don't ask me why, but Grifter pulled rank on me. And then again from 2 to 4.
So, do you want to play? Come on there. Send an email to hackerjeopardy at
gmail.com. The autoresponder will take care of it for you. So without further
ado, let's see who's going to play tonight at game one. It's Perineal Rafe?
The hell kind of name is that? Oh God, you're not serious. I want to see Jabba
the Hutt get up these stairs. Dude, you look like one of the women from my high
school reunion. That just went bad. Okay, don't forget to give him a reach around.
Okay, so let's go ahead and get him in seat number one, the green. Number two,
team number two. I think this name is before, but you know what they actually
didn't do? They should have had the trial, so they're gonna get another run. Nice hat
gray. You still around? Yes, they are. Nice hat gray, one of the Perineals, been able to do
something. Come on down, welcome, and you're gonna take spot number two. And team number
three, there's an effort here for rebranding apparently, so if the classic version isn't
any good, the hard forked version must be better, right? So it turns out that taking a
WikiLeak has hard forced into Pucifer 3.0, but they did really well, so you guys are
coming up here for game one. Are you guys around? Pucifer 3.0? All right, grab seat
number three. What, are we missing people? Let's go, come on, move it, move it, move it,
what are you, old man? Put your bag around and get going. Now we gotta proof everybody,
checking for AARP cards, for crying out loud. Maybe we get a discount on the beer. Okay,
so the rules of the game, we're gonna go ahead, and then ladies, you wanna go ahead and get the
beers ready to roll, and go ahead and we'll pop beers. Do not begin drinking the beers until the
game starts, okay, but we're gonna get your beers so we can get rolling. We're gonna have
six categories, we have five questions, one to five hundred points. You have monitors here,
the audience can see it out here. If they don't get it right, out of Daily Double, it goes out
to the audience. We ready to roll? Holy, yeah. We gotta lower that beer cart about another two
feet. Okay, ready on the left? Ready on the right? Ready on the firing line? Game on! Get
those beers out there! Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, all right. Let's take a look at the board.
We have microscopic font, a horrible software glitch, but we're gonna tell you what it is anyway.
God, I can't even read them. What's category one, Dave? Yeah, this is not, okay. Category one is
tunes. Category two, Tesla for win. Category three, acronyms. Category four, eight bits or less,
depending on your age. Category five, Hacker Jeopardy history. And category six,
Vag, V-A-G. All the answers will contain a V-A-G, okay.
Don't ask me about that one. It's equal opportunity, and come on, if we get more
women playing this game, we'll make it work both ways. Okay, so team one,
Perennial Rafe, I'll just call you Rafe for short. You on the board, pick a category,
pick a number. What do you want? They can't talk through the costumes, apparently.
We will take Vag for 100. Vag for 100. The answer is, a person without a settled home or regular
work who wanders from place to place and lives by begging. Seven letters in Hackers is not what
we're looking for. This is off to a very slow start. Okay, nice hack, Ray. What is a vagrant?
What is a vagrant is correct. You got it, and you're on the board. Well done.
Come on, let's go. What do you want? Let's get excited.
Can't hear you.

for 200 points. Just the tip. To lay waste by force, to desolate by violence. Six letters.
Ooh, reach for that thesaurus. You've never called it that before. Yeah. Oh, come on, six letters.
We gave, we're giving you three of the six letters. Going once, going twice, out to the audience.
Yeah, what is ravage? Awesome, you got it.
Sorry, don't have any swag today. Come back tomorrow, we'll get you cool stuff. All right,
you're still on the board even though you don't deserve it. What do you think?
Uh, let's do vag for three. Vag for three. He's trying to hit bottom here. A composition,
as in music or a drama, designed to produce effects by its wild irregularity. Hey, Wynn,
we'll have to inspect. Oh, come on, guys, don't, no English majors here.
Going once, going twice, out to the audience. Yeah. Not in the form of a question. Oh,
what is a shravaganza? They got it. By the way, these folks are here with DEFCON, D-E-A-F-C-O-N.
Welcome to Hacker Jeopardy! And thank you to our two translators who are making everything
happen for them. Okay, wow, it turns out that our contestants don't know anything about vag,
apparently. Well, that's not much of a surprise. All right, what else do you want?
We'll do Tesla for 100. You'll do? Tesla for Wynn for 100. Tesla for Wynn for 100.
The answer is, although Edison advocated DC for power transmission, Tesla pushed for AC,
short for this. Nice hat, Gray. What is alternating current? What is alternating
current? Is correct for 100 points. You double down. Okay, great. Oh, yeah, you got to put that
beer upside down on your head. Let us know that you're done with it. Tesla for two. A little bit
louder. I can barely hear you. Got to talk in the microphone. Tesla for 200. Tesla for 200.
The answer is, the Tesla T is the SI unit for measuring this. Pucifer.
What is electrical field? What is electrical field is technically not correct. No.
Going once. Oh, punishment time. I think they wanted this because they know that the ref doesn't
come until round two. Going twice. They don't know what a Tesla is for? Out to win. What's
the Tesla the measure of? Magnetic field strength. Yes, there's electromagnetism,
but it doesn't describe your personality. Damn thing is falling down. Let's go. You
on the board. What do you want? What the fuck is a magnetic field? Okay, I'm sorry. We got
to get it right. Okay, back over here. You on the board. I can take it away from you.
If you don't make a decision. Tesla for three. Let's go deeper into something you know nothing more about.
Although William Rankin was credited for his discovery in 1895, Tesla documents the experiments
in 1894 with this Pucifer. What are x-rays? What are x-rays? And you were probably his first patient.
All right, awesome. You own the board and you're back in the game. That was a 300 points, so you're
in the black. What do you like? Acronyms for 100, please. Acronyms for 100. The answer is C.F.A.A.,
also known as 18 U.S. Code Section 1030. Pucifer. What is the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act?
What is the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act? Desperately in need of revision. Fuck that law.
All right, gentlemen, you on the board. What do you want? Fuck that law. Tunes for 100? Tunes for 100.
The answer is our first Daily Double. All right, well, you got 200, but this being a government
funded program, you can bet up to $500. We'll bet 200. They're gonna bet 200 on a 100.
Okay, 200 it is. Let's see what the answer is. The name of this author and cartoon.
What is Dilbert by Scott Adams? Yeah, he went in his mouth of the mic. She heard him. Okay,
what is Dilbert by Scott Adams? It's actually Scott Albums and Dilbert. I was looking for
that order, but because he's dyslexic, we'll let him have the points. So let's see what you get.
Take your choice. Come on. You got points. Could you get a what? You want the ref already?
Yeah, I'll get something. Yeah. Oh, gee whiz, for 100 points? No, I want more for that dress.
How about the lady who's been fondling you all day? Lady's choice. Lady's choice. Go ahead.
Take what you like. Don't hold up the game though. All right, the bottom man. Let's hear it.

Going. Going. What do you got? What is Wang? No, that's what's between your legs. You.
No, he said no. I can't hear from this far anyway.

Go ahead. What do you want? Acronyms 300. Acronym for 300. The answer is shitty websites, XSS.
Nice hat gray. What is cross-site scripting? What is cross-site scripting is correct. I
noticed the other team's pressing and holding. It's like a millisecond response, so as soon as
you press it, it cancels out if it doesn't win. So constant repetition is the best way to make
sure you win. I like to hit it hard. Yes. Okay, what do you want? Acronyms for four.
Acronyms for four. Okay, the answer is... All right, your chance for a Daily Double.
All righty then. Well, let's see, you got some stuff to play with. You can play with
all 600. You got the balls? Let's see what you got.
Show me your Pokeballs. What is your wager, please?
Come on!
Going once. 500. Okay, 500 for four. All right, it's three quarters of the way up,
so we'll give them some credit for that one. The answer is PCI, the bus, not the regulation.
And your little dog, too. Going once.
Going... What is peripheral connector interface?
What is peripheral connected to the internet is not correct. Interface! Interface! Interface
is still not correct. Nice double time. Guess what you get? We have room temperature,
non-alcoholic beer. Stick that in your queue and shake it. Holy mackerel, look out.
All right, make it so and get out of the way. All right, while they're punishing,
they've got it. Whoa, they got to drink this stuff. Get your mouth over that thing. It's
coming out fast. All right, that's nasty. As soon as they finish that, they can continue going for
points. All right, it's PCI, the bus, not the regulation. Out to the audience. Anybody know?
Anybody know? Yeah, right here. I know the answer. It's the one I know. Give me a break.
Give a Pokemon a break. It's impossible for me to hear up here,
so we're just going to go ahead and show you the answer. The answer is peripheral
component interconnect. Interface is wrong. We anticipated you say interface,
and we knew you'd get it wrong. It's still on the board, though, but now you're in the red.
No, you're up. You're in the black. Low-scoring game. That's typical low-scoring people.
What can I say? What do you think you want to do next? Tesla for 400. Tesla for 400. Go back to
the wind short-tail category. Some argue that Tesla invented the radio, but this Italian got
all the credit. Lucifer. Who's Marconi? Who is Guglielmo Marconi? Si, you got it, but not the
bad. All right, you're on the board. What do you want? Tesla for 500, please. Tesla for 500.
Closing out the category, the answer is Tesla cured this iconic American author's constipation

Oh, wow. Iconic American author. When did Tesla live? Lucifer. Who's Mark Twain? Who is Mark Twain?
The guy put two and two together. He got it right. See, old age and treachery will overcome youth and
skill. Okay, wow. Oh, wow, you got a lap dance. One, two. Hey, ref, we got a job for you. You got a third.

Oh, boy, they don't pay me enough for this job. Okay, back over here, Gug. Pucci, you're on the board.
Toons for 200, please. Toons for 200. The name of this author in cartoon. Remember, please give
me the order of the author in the cartoon. Nice hat gray. Talk into the microphone.
Who is Randall Munroe and XKCD?
That Randall? I think someone needs to check Wikipedia on that one. I'm going to hold off on
that. Russell? He's right. Yeah, we thought so. Yeah, my research. I thought it was right. Yeah,
we typed it in wrong. So, yes, you got it. Randall Munroe, XKCD. Someone type Russell.
Damn spell corrector. It's a spell corrector.
Yep. That's going to give me nightmares for crying out loud, dude.
Sorry, I ate a lot of berries last week. Get that crap out of here.
Alrighty, what do you want? Acronyms for 500. Acronyms for 500. They're going to close out
the category. The answer is another Daily Double. Payback's your bitch. What do you want?
Well, 500. 500. All right, 500 it is. Acronyms for 500. The answer is
Whopper from that 1983 movie. Would you like to play a little game?

More abuse. Oh dude, here it comes. Fucked it up. Oh, whips and paddles and what else we got?
Soldering iron. Oh my god, jeez, you guys are sick. Make some noise.
Alrighty then, they may not want to sit down, but they've also got the warm beers coming again.
Failure is expensive in life, isn't it gentlemen? All right, well, out to the audience. Anybody
remember the Whopper? What is the war operation response plan? That's a dyslexic answer.
War operational programmed response. It is not a programmed response. No. Big guy, big guy.
Not in the form of a question. Sit down.
But now the answer's out in the open. Let's see what it is. War operation plan response. Go back.

Okay, got it.
Okay, on the board, what do you want? Enough delay. History or 100?

Put your mouth around it and oscillate.
All right, Hacker Jeopardy for 100. The answer is a typo on the wheel of
misfortune a few years ago led to this rhyming phrase now associated with Hacker Jeopardy.
What is beef thief? What is beef thief?
Beef thief. Beef thief. Beef thief. Beef thief. Well done, gentlemen, and you're

Going twice. And out to the audience, anybody remember?
What is DEF CON 3 is not a year.
1995. What is that? 1995 is not correct.
All right. Third try is a charm. What is 1994 is correct? DEF CON 2 is not a year.
I kind of anticipated that kind of screw up, too. Well done. Off to the board. What do you want?
Didn't cost you anything. History for 300. Hacker Jeopardy history. He was accused of
feloniously Hacker Jeopardy for three. He was accused of feloniously cheating during DEF CON
11 by looking up the final answer on his Blackberry. Come on. There's a really big hint in there.
Come on. It was going once. Felonious. Going twice.
Boosifer. Who is Mitnick? Kevin Mitnick is correct. Yeah. By the way, Kevin's team set the
record for Hacker Jeopardy. The fewest number of alcoholic beverages consumed because his
partner was LDS. Didn't drink. Three beverages. They won it all on intellect. See? So you own
the board and you're in the black yet? No, not quite. Tunes for 300, please. Tunes for 300.
Stand by. Let me get the category. The name of this author and cartoon.
You guys at the end are morons if you can't get this one.

Wraith, you woke up. What is a mobile phone? What is a mobile phone is correct.
Finally, I get in the game. Okay, pick a category.
Let's stick with 8-bits or less. Let's stick with 8-bits or less.
400. The answer is... All right, you finally got one.
Fuck it up. 500.
Well, again, we got a government program here. So you got 100, but you get that up to five.
Well, whatever the max is. Five. I'm trying to give you hints.
I said 500. 500. Thank you. Okay.
The answer is the author of this eponymously named... Oh, wrong one.
Which one are you in? I can't hear you.
8-bits or less that we're at. Yeah, I can't hear a damn thing up here. Okay.
Don't hold your breath. Naming the sixth Sierra November 7,
which uses thermionic emission in an evacuation container. What would do that?
Oh, God. We used to play with these as kids.
What is Halon? What is Halon is not correct.
Halon chlorofluorocarbons do not use thermionic emission in an evacuated container.
Okay. So that's fuck up. I saw this guy over here first.

it, but what do you want? Badge for 400. Badge for 400.
Okay. Now I don't know how you're going to get your thing in one of those
in that costume, but let's take a look. From the Latin, washing out a body cavity
with water or medicated solution. Oh, I know what you're thinking,
but somehow it doesn't fit. Come on. Wow. This had to be a pretty interesting.
All right. Going once. Going twice. And out to the audience, I see this lady waving like crazy.
Not in the form of a question. I see another lady over here.
Yeah. What is a lavage? Exactly. And what were you gentlemen thinking?
No, it was a lady. Okay. Back to the board. You odd creatures down there. You own the board.
You're in the hole bigger and bigger, deeper and deeper. Wrong approach. Come on. What do you got?
Talk to me, goose. Hacker Jeopardy history for 400. Hacker Jeopardy history for 400. The answer is
his rule makes puking on stage cost you all your beer points. Ray. Who is Wynn Schwartau?
Who is Wynn Schwartau is not correct. Wynn's never lost it on stage. Nice hack, Ray.
Who's that? Come on. Let's see what you got. Humperdinck. Who is Humperdinck? Yeah, Chris.
Way to go. Anybody remember Chris? Yeah, he was awesome. He handicapped himself by chugging an
entire pitcher of beer before the game started and then sat down, threw up in a 40-gallon bucket,
went back and finished the game. Yeah, in the tent heat, if you remember over there at the
Lexus Park. You own the board. Nice hack, Ray. What do you want? Hacker Jeopardy history 500.
Hacker Jeopardy history for 500. Closing out the category, the only two DEF CONs that did not
feature Hacker Jeopardy. Rafe. What is DEF CON 1 and what is DEF CON 2? What is DEF CON 1 and 2?
No, I would say probably not, because the 200-point question said the first year it
made an appearance and that was at DEF CON 2. So you failed on that one. We want to lose big.
All right, other teams. Only two DEF CONs that did not feature Hacker Jeopardy. Going once.
Going twice. All right, out to the audience. What are 1 and 3? Is not correct.
Not in the form of a question. What is 1 and 12? Is correct.
Yeah, that was the year they decided to try out new contests. They failed miserably.
Nothing is as awesome as Hacker Jeopardy. All right, yeah. All right.
Okay, let's go. Out to the board. Which one? Eight bits for 500. You got to talk into the
microphone, seriously. No, get really close to it. Can you hear him, Dave? I can't hear him.
Eight bits or less for 500. Yeah, we need a monitor down here, seriously. Okay.
The world's first electronic digital programmable computer was delivered on the 18th of January,
1944. Is he doing unnatural things to that microphone? What is he saying?
I can't hear that. What is your bleached asshole?
It's only two bits on and off. I think we need to make sure he stays in that
costume and take him outside in the heat. No, that's not correct. It's not that old. When's his
44? Oh, not even when's that old. Come on. Going once. First electronic digital programmable
computer. Going twice. What do you got? Technically not correct from what the information I have.
Yeah. Anybody? Yes. What is the ENIAC? No, that was number two. Last one. Okay. What was... okay,

Oh, God, I'm glad I don't play this game anymore. Okay. Twins for 400. Nice act,
Ray. That's what we're going to give you if you don't get your act together. Let's take a look.
Twins for 400. The author of this eponymously named cartoon. Rafe, what do you got?
What is your bleached asshole?
Hey, Rafe, I hope they rented those costumes. We're about to...
Okay. Anybody, any other team recognize that author, that artist? He just died
recently, a couple years ago. Used to sell a lot of business cartoons. Oh, that is...
Dickhead! Dickhead! Dickhead!
All righty. Going once, going twice. Out to the audience, anybody recognize this? Anybody read...
All right. Who is or who was Randy Glasbergen? And last one, the last of the board, the artist
of this famous 1993 New Yorker cartoon. You can't ring him, he didn't see the cartoon.
All right. Don't show him the cartoon. Let's hear your answer.
We're just here for the free beer. You're here for the free beer. Get the fuck off the stage.
So what is... Okay. Flare it for the other teams and let's put up the image.
On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog. He signed it. I scribbled over it a little bit.
Going once, going twice. Out to the audience, anybody remember this? Remember the cartoon,
right? Yes, sir. No, it's not. All right. It's not Gary Larson. All right. So the answer,
let's take a look at it. That was Peter Steiner. That's why it's a 500-point question. So
we're going to total up the beers. We got seven minutes left before the next game,
so we're going to total and we're going to select a category.
Okay. So we got a total. We're going to go ahead and let you know the points. You're
going into the final Hacker Jeopardy category. As you know, if you have less than zero points,
you're disqualified and we pitch you off the stage unceremoniously, never to return again
to Hacker Jeopardy. If, however, you have a positive score, then it turns out that you're in
and you're going ahead. The winner of this goes on to the final tomorrow night, which will be
held at nine o'clock. We've got round two coming up in just a moment. Let me check with my
scorekeeper here real quick. Okay. We got some totals. We got them locked in. Okay. We got the
information. So let's see what the final Hacker Jeopardy question category is for tonight.
Blow up job. All righty. So let's see what we got. These cartoon characters were in the hole.
They're out of here. Blow them off the stage. And this is why you guys suck. We give you a free beer
and your lack of gratitude. And Nice Hat Gray finished with zero points, but they drank 10
beers, so they got 1,000 to play with. Pucifer, 1,700 plus 13 drinks, 3,000. Unless those beers
have affected their judgment, they might be able to wager correctly to win this. But you never know
worse things have happened, guys. Remember, you blew the finals one year by wagering the wrong
amount. So let's go ahead. I need you to write down your team name and your wager up to that in
ideally increments of 100, but you can bet any whole integer up to your wager. Let's see what we
got. Okay. So what we're going to have is we're going to have a fast turn here. We got the beers
counted out. We can go ahead and start clearing the beers while I go ahead and total it. And I'll
actually leave the beers here with the photo op. So we're going to go ahead and as soon as we get
an okay on the beer numbers, we're going to take a look at it. You got the answers keyed in? You
got the numbers keyed in? Okay. You guys got to write it down. Your answer should be in the
form of a question. Write it on that sheet of paper. Let's take a look at the final Hacker
Jeopardy! answer. The number of DEF CONs hosted at hotels that have been blown up.
We have a legacy here that we need to maintain.
And of course, the key is who here has been to all them. Anybody been to 10 or more DEF CONs?
Hey, if you've been to 10 or more DEF CONs, stand up. 10 or more, stand up. Look at that. Awesome.
If you've been to 15 or more, remain standing. Otherwise, have a seat. 15 DEF CONs.
All right. 20 or more DEF CONs.
Wynn, Jaymark, anybody else? One other person here. Okay. I'm told. Okay. How are we doing?
We got the answers in? We're waiting for the answers to come in. Come on. Game's going. We got
three minutes to go ahead and turn this thing for the next game. Don't wander off. The next game's
going to be better. I promise you no laborers in the next one or the abuse will get worse.
Okay. You got the answers? Okay. We've got the answers and let's see what they got. Well,
nice hat gray. Their answer was eight scribbled out and then 14. Much as that would be a desired
goal, that is rather a high number and it wasn't even in the form of a question.
Yeah. Serious fail. How much did you bet? You had a thousand. Got it wrong for a thousand. You
end up at squat zero, zilch, nada. Don. Lucifer. Their answer is what is two?
Which is not correct. How much did you bet?
999. They finished with 2001, a space odyssey. You actually won. You go on to the next game.
Of course, everybody knows. What do you think the right answer is, by the way?
No. We lost, we lost the Sands at DEFCON 1. We lost Sahara at DEFCON 2. We lost the Aladdin
at DEFCON 5. And what just got blown up? The Riviera. We lost five more. So the total is,
let's take a look. What is eight? Okay. Man, we got one minute to go in the game. Thank you very
much. We're going to turn real fast. Game two is coming up. We're going to reset the stage in
under five minutes. Let's go ahead and play some music, bounce the balls around right here,
and we're going to be a fast turn. Thank you very much for playing. See you guys in the finals.
Okay, we're ready for game two. How is that? That's faster than Southwest Airlines. We turn
that stage in two minutes. Whoa, keep those off the monitors. We got to pay for those suckers.
Okay, for game two, the first team. Off and board again. You guys are like the bridesmaids of DEFCON.
Come on up and hopefully you do better. You sit all the way down there in the end with the green
buttons. I only see two guys. Where's the third? You can't play with two. You can play with yourself,
but... Okay, team number one. Off and board. Team number two.
Understand that these guys went all or nothing during trials and they got it right, so
American Kamikaze Pilots, come on down. Team two.
That's really got to be a disturbing thought to any World War II veterans.
By the way, my uncle is still alive. He's 90 years old, was a Navy vet from World War II,
a medic with the Marines. He would have landed on Japan if they had to invade,
if it hadn't been for the atomic bomb. So he's still here 75 years later. That's pretty cool.
Okay, and the third one. What the hell? Featuring none other than the amazing
Dan Kaminsky. We fucked it up. Come on down.
All righty. Hey, last time that Dan played, I think it was over at the Riviera.
There was an awesome video on the internet that me filmed. Dan coming off the stage at
Hacker Jeopardy, desperately going for a men's room. He gets to the door and they're cleaning it.
Set the fuck down. Nobody cares about you. And they won't let him in. He's like,
I'll pay you to let me in the bathroom. It was so great.
Okay, so we got the team set up. You understand the rules.
We're going to have six categories, one to 500 points. You select your category to point.
Correct answers will result in points. Let's look at the categories.
Dan, I got beer all over my thumb. We've got an itty bitty font. Dicks.
Potent potables. I've got your number.
Huge election. You tell us which 2016 presidential candidate or prospective candidate said this.
More DEF CON history. And the last one doesn't have a name. Say what?
Okay, so first team selected, you own the board. What do you want?
Dicks for 100, please.
Dicks for 100. Okay. The answer is, he wrote great expectations.
I see people bounding, but I don't see the score working. We got a hardware problem.
Off and board. Who is Charles Dickens? Who is Charles Dickens is correct for 100.
All right. What do you think? We'd like more dick for 200, please. They want more dick for 200.
The answer is, a detachable insert to simulate the front of a shirt.
Off and board. What is a dickie? What is a dickie?
Dickie for 200. You got it. What do you want?
$300 worth of dick, please.
They want $300 worth of dick. I don't know if that's the going rate in this town or not,
but you may. Let's see what they got. Matthew Brock on news radio. I want the full name.
Full name. What do we got?
Oh, we got them. Going once. If you can't think, drink, okay? Going twice.
Out the audience. Someone in the green. Who is Andy Dickens? Correct.
This audience is too quiet. I shouldn't have been able to hear that far back. Of course,
you got a big line for beer back there. That's awesome. But you play, you get free beer.
Okay. Off and board. You still own the board, even though you don't deserve it.
You want more dick? Yeah, we don't have any. We got to get it for tomorrow. Come back tomorrow,
we'll double swag you. Dick for $400, please. Say again? Dick for $400. Dick for, what's the dick
for? Okay, dick for $400. The answer is the purpose of the 10-foot long dicker rod.
Got a picture of it, I think. You got a picture of it at night.
Oh, Dave. There we go. What's the purpose of this thing? Go ahead. What is to measure the
position of a ball in a football game? What is to measure the position of a ball in a football game
for the precise yardage? What is to measure the position of the precise yardage? Close enough. Yes,
it is to measure yardage. It's the World Football League. They only lasted a couple of years. The
dicker rod never caught on. It was instead of the three-person chain group. Awesome,
so you're in control of the board and you're actually leading. What do you want to do,
gentlemen? What is dicks for $500? They want the biggest dick of all, the 500-pointer.
All righty, let's see what we got for 500 points. Featured in over 2,000 porn films,
Johnny Wad's dick was reportedly measured at this length, within a half an inch.
I don't need to see this. Let the audience see it.
Kamikazes. What is eight and a half inches? No, it's not within a half an inch.
Unfold it. No, what do you got? Come on, this guy's in 2,000 porn films with eight and a half
inches? What do you think he is, Japanese? I know it's racist, I'm sorry. All right,
he's Indian. Equal opportunity, come on. He's Irish. Go on once. Take a guess,
go on twice. It's 500 points worth of dick here. What's 13 inches? Nobody's ringing in,
so I don't know who wants to play that. You already answered it, haven't you guys?
All right, anybody else want to try? Go on once. Go on twice. Out to the audience.
What is 16? Nobody's... nope, not quite. What is 10? Is not correct. One more try.
What is 12? Is still not correct. The answer is, and if you got it the first time,
had to write 13 and a half, or for our Canadian friends, 343 millimeters.
Gentlemen, we're out of dicks. You're going to have to try another hole. What do you want?
What is, I've got your number? I've got your number for 100. The answer is,
the most used four-digit pin. Offenborn. What is 1234? What is 1234? Is, of course, correct.
And if you're using that pin, you're a lame or a shame on you. Numbers for 200, please.
Numbers for 200. The answer is, the least used four-digit pin.
Kamikazes. What is 4321? No, that's very popular with dyslexics, so that didn't make it last.
Out to the other two teams. The least used four-digit pin, which is probably no longer
the least used four-digit pin once it was in the study, right? Because everybody figured,
use that, no one will guess it. Go on once. Go on twice. Out to the audience. Who here uses it?
What is 000? No, that's like number two.
Yeah, we could be here all night. We probably never hit it right. We don't have 10,000 people.
So what is 8068? Yeah. All right. Back to the board. Offenborn. What do you want?
Numbers for 300, please. Numbers for 300. Eventually get it right. Let's see what we got.
Oh, it's a daily double. Don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up.
All right, gentlemen, you've got 400. You can wager up to 500 with government assistance.
What will it be? 400. We'll bet 400.
Bet 400 on a 300-point question. Okay, that works. If you get it right, of course,
you get points and glory. You get it wrong and the dreaded null beer makes its appearance.
Let's see what we got. This RFC specifies non-routable IP address blocks.
What is RFC 1918? Wow, they got it, RFC 1918. You ought to know that.
Of course, we all know what they are, right? The slant 8 beginning with 10,
192, 168 for the slant 16. And what's the other one? 172, 16, slant 12. Okay.
So let's see what good things... ooh, that was worth some major clothing.
All right, Vanna. Oh, oh. Ref, get out of the way. All right.
Now we got something going. All righty then. You're on the board, Effenboard.
Numbers for 400, please. Numbers for 400. The freaky build number for Windows XP,
visible when booting in safe mode. If I spelled one of the words differently, you'd know immediately.
That's the second word. Spell it differently. What do you think the answer is?

not with all this intelligence. Oh, all right. Kamikazes. What is 2600? What is 2600? Yeah.
And of course, Captain Crunch, phone freaker, 2600 hertz, the in-band frequency signaling
control for AT&T system. Go ahead. What do you got? What do you want? Ooh. Was that a daily double?
No, it wasn't. Oh, she's just doing a photo op. All right. Come on. Make a category pick.

Good enough. Okay. Here's how this works. I am going to give you a verse out of a song.
You give me the name of the song, okay? For 100. Obladi, Oblada.
Off and more. What is life goes on? What is life goes on is not correct. That's
not the name of the song. That's the next verse. Over to teams. Kamikaze.
Kaminsky. American Kamikaze. This is a 100-point question. If it were a dog, it'd bite you.
Kamikazes. What is blue? What is blue is not correct, although it is the color of the screen
background. Last chance. The answer is right in front of you. Come on. Give me an answer.
Going once. Going twice. Oh, my God. What's happening? A person waving like crazy over there.
Not in the form of a question. It was? I can't hear up here. Okay. She got it right?
Okay. What is Obladi, Oblada? It's right in front of you. It's a verse that's the name of the song.
No. I can't make it any easier for you guys. All right. Kamikaze pilots, you got the board.
What do you want? Kamikaze pilots, make a choice, damn it. Dive, dive, dive.

And by the way, thank you, Mr. Jim Manley, for that wonderful opportunity last night if you're
out here. Okay. Is he here? Jim? Oh, well, never mind. Out to the board. You guys own the board.
What do you want? Potent potables. All right. We're going to potent potables for two. We're
going to keep drinking here. Let's see what the answer is. Grand Teton, Luxosawa, and Sputkar
distilled from the root of this vegetable. We fucked it up. What do you got? What is a potato?
What is a potato? We need a little bit better audio on that particular microphone if the guy
on the mic can boost this. You're the guy that got taken away in an ambulance last year.
Sit down. All right. What do you want? We're out of dick. Potent potables for 300. The answer is

What is the name of the song?
There's a lot of good things and a lot of bad things.
These types of questions really seem to catch people off guard, don't they?
The song is fucking playing in my head right now. I know it's playing through your head.
So, say the first thing that comes to your mind in the form of a question. What's your answer?
What's your question? What's the name of the song? Three, two, one. Let's hear what you got.

Okay, for 500 points and the avoidance of the dreaded near beer, the answer is...

Okay, out to the audience.
We're saying you have an answer.

Go on twice.
Okay, the answer is...

Three, two, one.
Out to the audience.
Yes, sir.
No, it was not Dark Tangent.
He didn't do that talk.
He organized it.
Yeah, this is a tough one.
That's why it's 500 points.
It's a buddy of mine, a very dear friend.
He's been around the industry for a long, long time, obviously.
Who's Ray Kaplan?
Yeah.
Okay, we're down to huge election and...

Out to the audience.
Who is Joe Biden is correct.
I heard the second time.
Yeah, never got the campaign off the ground.
They wait a little bit long.
He had some family losses, you know, kid died and things like that.
So...
We got last one.
Say what for 500?
I'll remember.
500 points.
Get it right, you can be a hero.
The answer is...
Good.
All right.
Going once.
Going twice.
And American Kamikaze pilots about to self-destruct. The answer is...
What is your mom's bleached asshole?
You know, we give you a premiere.
We give you access to beautiful women.
You don't have to pay for that.
And you pull that shit. Same on you.
Just get off the stage right now.
Anybody remember this one?
The name of the song actually is...
Yeah, I can see it in the back. Let's hear it.
Let's see what the answer is. What is...
Na, na, hey, hey, kiss him goodbye.
Okay, a little before everybody's time.
We're down to the final Hacker Jeopardy question.
So we're going to total up beers.
And we're going to total up beers and see who wins
to go into the final Hacker Jeopardy round tomorrow.
So the MC's are going to be totaling beers.
Stick around because it's going to look like we've got an interesting game here.
Okay, go in once.
Let's see. Get the beers counted.
Get the beers tabulated.
They've got to be fully completed beers.
By the way, yeah, they're going to pull the beers very quickly,
so save one for the MC.
Okay, we've got the numbers in.
And so, let's take a look at the final Hacker Jeopardy question.
Better than Hacker Jeopardy?
What could possibly be better than Hackle Jeopardy?
Let's see what we've got.
Off and more, 900 points.
12 beers, 12 and 100.
We fucked it up, 1,900.
But 10 beers, 2,900.
We've got a game!
So, let's go ahead and write down your wager.
I need a wager for the category,
Better than Hacker Jeopardy?
We'll do that next year.
Have we got any beers left?
I need one.
She's great.
Okay, we're trying to get the wagers.
Okay, remember, your answer has to be in the form of a question.
Well, it doesn't have to be.
You could be an idiot and not put it in the form of a question.
But it really would help.
We've got the wagers.
Give me a positive integer less than or equal to 2,900.
Oh my goodness, okay.
There's a little bit of gaming going on.
Let me know, Dave, when you've got the scores locked in,
and we'll go ahead and we'll pop that question again.
Write your answer in the form of a question.
We'll collect them and we'll see how well you do.
Dave, let me know when we've got the answers logged in.
Okay, we've got the points logged in, so let's see.
Here we go.
The final answer is,
This keynoter hosted the failed DEF CON contest,
advertised as, quote,
What's this? Where's Hacker Jeopardy?
The simplest explanation is change.
It's time to mix it up and make things better.
You've gotten several hints throughout the evening about what's going on here.
This keynoter that hosted the failed DEF CON contest only lasted once.
Something that could be better than Hacker Jeopardy?
Nothing could be better than Hacker Jeopardy!
Do we agree? Yeah!
We've got beer, we've got women, we've got intelligence.
We need more ladies playing the game.
We've got, again, submit an email.
Just send it to hackerjeopardy at gmail.com.
The autoresponder will kick back,
and you'll go ahead and he'll tell you how to submit for a team.
Alrighty, we're going to go ahead and collect the answers
of somebody who thought they could do better than Hacker Jeopardy.
What keynoter could do that?
Not looking good.
It's probably going to come down to the betting strategy.
So, let's start with our team that's in the lead.
We fucked it up with 2,900 points.
They, um, well, they kind of got it wrong.
Uh, so what...
So what...
What did they wager?
What did they say? Who is win?
Now, why would win bet against win?
I want to say...
It's not logical. It is totally illogical.
Better than Hacker Jeopardy? Win.
How much did they wager?
799, giving them a total of...
Oh, I don't know. Half and board.
Let's see what you bet. Maybe you got it.
Half and board. What is...
Yeah, what is the better answer?
What is John McAfee?
Who, by the way, I think is hosting a, uh, demon saw party tonight.
So you can go that over there.
They got free shuttles going over there.
It's going to be at the Larry Flint Hustler Club.
Show your DEF CON badge and get in.
What is John McAfee?
He was never a keynoter at DEF CON.
And never a keynoter at Black Hat.
So he's wrong. So they got it wrong.
How much did they bet?
2100. Oh, so it fucked it up. Got it.
By the way, the answer is a dear friend of mine.
Let's take a look.
Richard Thiem. The event was Elitist League.
Lasted one season.
And we came back.
So we'll be back again tomorrow night.
8 o'clock.
And then the finals.
These guys are going to try to unseat the 40-time champions.
Thank you very much. You got beer for sale.
Wonderful having you here.
We did not fuck it up this time.
Photo ops available.
By the way, we got some shirts for the EFF.
30 bucks for the EFF.
We'll get the shirts up here, ladies, to help you out.
