I don't know how a person could prepare for such a competition. There are so many potential topics to master. Perhaps your thought on trivia books might be useful, since many times what is required is broad rather than deep knowledge.

Yes, you are right. The breadth of their knowledge is amazing and the speed with which they can come up with the answers. My old age addled brain needs more than a nano second to reply. Maybe that is why I have been able to come up with a few of the Final Jeopardy questions. With those you get a bit more time because of the commercial break. I too am pretty limited on pop culture. Often watch with my son. He is much more aware of that sort of thing being 30 years younger.
