Missed loads of days in Montenegro. :( Back on track today though. I liked the "What is Canada's other official language?" question this time. :D

Misread English Channel question. But reading with this much alcohol in your system is a skill in itself so should get extra points.
Aagh! WTF is the Winston Cup???
To be honest, even though I'm going to crib like feck again in a couple of sentences, I don't think changing topics will help too much. There'll always be US-only questions and we'll just have to work around them. In addition to the obscure sports questions there's plenty of TV shows, kids' books, sweets, cakes and various types of junk food, almae matres of various Z-listers which they seem particularly obsessed with for some reason, and of course those various Z-listers themselves, that we wouldn't have the faintest clue about over here.Quote:

I don't think we can complain really , if you are going to do a quiz on a site thats American based you have to expect American slanted questions
Stupid American questions, all of mine were American to my disappointment, just the 5 right.
Bloody Nascar question tripped me up this time.
Bloody questions about children of the Czar, wtf like?
Anyone else get "What is the capital of Republic of Ireland?":D
Lucky git! :pQuote:

I had the Czar one a few days ago, one of the easier questions but then that story fascinated me as a child. Even prompted me to learn some Russian (which I forget now though)
The only one i got wrong today was a rare one about football :( Kinda read it wrong about what colours do the Swedes wear
Missed 2 days in a row there but back with a bang...10 in 49 :)
Bloomin Spiders plus one obscure one that I guessed right. I still don't understand the question
Was that the one about the world's largest spider that's also named after a biblical character oldyouth? Got that one today as well if so.
Also got a 'take your pick from four baseballers' one right. Don't know what I was doing taking so long, not as if it was one that you could work out. Pure guess in the end that fluked in! :D
No, that's the one I got wrong. It was something to do with little Johnny's parents wanting to obliterate some pests (or something)!!!!!!Quote:

Finally 10/10...
Grrr the system is doing maintenence and I am dying to do it now before my smarts dissapate.
Worked for me just now.
Got it working now, thanks Schumi, but you wont be too happy with me! :D
First 10 in over a week. Still didn't beat Magicme or Schumi, what's the point of that.
What are "smarts"?:confused:Quote:

grrr bloody internet slowed down so it reckons it took me 100 seconds. I was fast but still got 2 wrong. :-( Also how come with 3 wins I am still only in 5th when others have 2 wins but are above me. Like how do the points get calculated??
It's done on cumulative total scored MM, so sorry but :p
Nah the scoring is a bit random alright, it's pretty savage, literally! :D
A better indicator is your average points per game but even that isn't perfect.
Your score is based on how many people played that day, which is not fair IMO. You can get as little as 10 or 12 points for a win (as one of mine was), even if it's 10/10 in 50 seconds (which it wasn't).
Got the address of the White House question about five times already but don't think I've got it right yet.:(
I am anyway. I don't know about Magicme, do they have books in Monaghan?Quote:

gustavo,
So far you are doing very well.
I have more than a small problem with (how should i describe)........types from outside of Dublin.
I get 10!(TEN) and yet some people are ranked above me, just 'cos i fell asleep while I was answering some questions. It wasn't entirely my fault.
Falling asleep is something I will have to stay vigilant against.
(Masons; Mafiosi; Illuminati are not used in the above sentences. Be warned.)
Why are people complaining about a site based in America asking America specific questions ? They've every right to!
I think it has more to do with the fact no-one is likely to know the answer to baseball, American Football, Colleges etc questions. If they were on politics, geography, history then fair enough you'd have a chance.Quote:
