I thought there was a way of removing the sport ones?
Dammit! My first ten and I'm nowhere near the top.
Q. "Kool-Aid' has several flavours which one below is not a flavour?
1. Strawberry
2. Kiwi Spit
3. Orange
4. Pineapple
needs a bump
Needs a quiet room with no interruptions! :mad:
(and someone to whack hitman on the knee with an iron bar :D )
I'll take the contract if you make it worth my while.Quote:

Competition getting seriously hot now. I remember a time when 10 in around 60 seconds was good enough for a win. I managed my fastest ever today with 10 in 47 seconds and I'm still only 3rd 15 seconds behind Stann :(
Bound to hit a bit of luck eventually, didn't have to hum and haw over any today. Don't worry passinginterest, it won't last! :)
What was the fastest I wonder? I seem to remember a 28 or 29 one time?
4th now. :DQuote:

I don't remember seeing any quicker than 32 seconds by the way, I think it's a record.
I still say the questions should be a little harder, as it is turning into a speed competition rather than a quiz. 9 correct answers hardly gets you in the top ten anymore and people are only getting 9 if faced with an American sport/college question
A few days ago me and stann were the only two with 10...Of course I was second :o
Def getting faster in general. I missed loads of days this month from being away so plotting my big comeback for Novemeber.
(That's my excuse anyway)
So annoyed coz I think I got all of them right this time but due to my internet cracking up on me I dont think it registered it! Grrrr
Could be worse, it registered mine but with a s**t time and a s**t score. Grrrr!!! :D
Who lives in the East, 'neath the Willow Tree?
1. Buddha
2. The Wicked Witch
3. Sexual Harassment Panda
4. Pol Pot.
I didn't know so I put 'the Owl and the Pussy cat'.
The wicked witch, of course. Was she the one who was squashed or who melted?
It's getting faster in part because some questions are repeating. I got a really stupid question about operating the shace shuttle today for the third time (You've done this really technical bit; what do you do next? (a) Spacewalk, (b) sleep, (c) radio base and ask them what's next or (c) type OPC-218-Yfh into the command module and follow that up with two other really technical bits. Stupid question).

Suggest we start our own topic of nasty hard questions just to shake up the Yanks!
Sign me up, I'm getting fed up with questions getting repeated and then the American football/baseball/college shyteQuote:

I'm disappointed it didn't ask what college he went to.
Might as well bump this again seeing as I had my best score in ages. Nice lucky guess on the last question, the coach of the 76ers in 2003!
Anyone else get loads of annoying pop-ups when they access it through IE? Seems to be happening a lot more the last few days.
Seems to have yesterday's competition still active today, what's going on, am raring to go but can't! :D
And I thought I'd won but mightn't now. :mad:
The problem has been fixed and today's quiz is up now.
Oh yeah, now it is, when I'm back home with my mouseless laptop! Farce!!! :mad:
(Actually, I really did play that like a t**t, kept using the down arrow before deselecting the question and had to go back each time. Gah!! :D )
Well done to RWRover (Red&WhiteRover?) for getting 10 in 24 seconds! Don't see that being beaten for a while.
Aye...Just flew it today!:D
Is there any way of making it a test of skill with harder level questions rather than it turning into a speed contest

That should curb those high scores. Frustrating week ahead all round, good luck everyone.
;)
Excellent!
Interesting week ahead anyway.
Reserving the right to replace that 'excellent' with an almighty whinge at a later date though. :D
Flippin' well distracted on my strongest topic.
I fear for a literature round :o :D

Just clarify why have they used World: UK. Surely it's the same thing. The UK is the World isn't it?
Everyday's a schoolday for me no matter what is put up.
Much better. I got an easy question wrong because I thought it was a trick, I suppose it's balanced by getting one lucky guess too. Things should be much more interesting now. :)
Ditto passing. I panicked!
Oops!
That was very tough, good though.
8 of the 10 I had to really go through the options - took an age, and still got two wrong!
Oldest theatre in England and biggest square in London did for me. Worked out who drove Ivor the Engine in the end though! :D
Like the new look too TCM.
Yeah, much better, even though I scored badly!
