We’re Waiting
Oh, and we didn’t mention…you can’t decide today to take the test, and actually take it. There is a year long wait list just to take the test! The exam consists of 50 random questions, and they need to be answered within 15 minutes, a 15 second timeclock for each question. As you may assume, out of all of the people who apply, only a mere 0.4% are accepted. You have more of a chance of writing a New York Times bestseller than you do appearing on the show.

Impressive
So who comes up with all of the questions the contestants answer? Believe it or not, the show has a team of only 14 people, 9 writers, and 5 researchers. This all-star team comes up with all of the content for the show on their own.
