Damn it, I was going for 5 in a row!

I had two questions in French and one in German.

1 in French and 1 in Italian for me. A lot easier than the previous days though.

I had 4 of them in Latin and 1 in Italian. Managed to get them right but it was the english language ones that got me.

Jesus, I got four questions on French sayings and one on German. WTF?!

Hopefully, they'll bringing up some Spanish ones soon...

I read halfway through my Italian question and gave up and guessed..wrong. And where Turino is and what elector became the King of Prussia in 1701..

Though didn't mind the Greek football questions

Yeah that's it, WTF is right!
I wouldn't mind questions on languages. I got one on Latin - grand. But one fully in Italian and one fully in French is not good (though it seems I got off lightly), and they weren't ones with place names or personages you could recognise and pick out, you had to be able to read them. Lucky I got those Italian CDs from the Mail last year!

Brace yourselves for the science and tech questions. Oh boy.

My feelings exactly. its a real challenge now and that can only be good

That was tough. Delighted with 7. I was only confident of 3, was hopeful with 2 and had 2 good guesses. It's way more interesting this way.

I didn't know babies lost weight after birth, much less how long it takes them to get the weight back.

Really, really tough one today. Two of my guesses came up though. Schumi, you do seem to be some kind of genius though. Could you stop playing and give the rest of us a chance please?

I was drinking till two, and was then asked to work out the length of the edge of a cube whose internal diagonal is 12" long. My head still hurts.

Unfortunately my degree is in Chemistry and so can't stand all the Biology questions I get.

I'm only mid-table today (was last just after I finished!) so you have your chance. Use it well.

I'm having no luck lately (well maybe a bit yesterday), about half my questions were on English geography e.g which of the following towns is not in Essex, these famous locks are on which river, I haven't got the foggiest!

I think the difficulty of the last few days has scared people off playing. Don't worry folks it's a bit easier today. Just make sure to brush up on classical composers.

Seems to be more playing it lately. I got 25 points for winning yesterday I think. Leading today as well too. We're UCD, and we're better than you.

That's the last time I go to IADT for my degree, dust gathering piece of crap

**** it, done by a retard's question!
Which number has an eerie conection with the Twin Towers attack.
I figured it was going to be 9 or 11.
What I didn't know was there was 11 people on one plane, 65 on the other (6+5, wooooooo), and the flags flew at half mast until the 22nd (2 11s, woooooooo!)
(BTW, there was 11 crew on that plane, 81 passengers. Why not 8+1=9 woooooooo! Or why not 92, as the 65 on the other plane was passengers AND crew)
Jesus is there no quality control with the questions in this thing??!!
