I thank you

I'll take the money, pls

 ;thankyou;

1 hour and a half till the next quiz  and Andrew T looks like taking it down for today


17 players had a go ..not too bad

rite im off to work ..have a nice day people...

I would have nailed had a poker table not popped up, with a guy moving in on me when i had aces and in my rush to try and get back to the quiz i pressed fold. So thats a double beat...lost the quiz and the hand. Good times.

Didn't realise everyone gets a different quiz... No country and western in mine, more's the pity. Mine included this question:

7. I just came up with the perfect "General Quiz". I had movie info, author info, President info, math info, television info, space info and animal info. That Fun Trivia Editor told me it was too easy, to make the quiz harder. What should I do?

I demand another go.

Damn you and your 1 sec AndrewT !!

i got a sport question wrong (quelle surprise)  don't think it made any difference, but found it odd that it didn't even give me a clue as to what sport it was!

that's the one I got wrong..it's Rugby (as the Ozzies are shit at everything else)..but don't know if it's Rugby league or union...

p.s did I mention I've set the current top score?

oh, didn't even know there was a world cup for cricket...again, not a proper sport :)

agreed!

I'm thick!!!!!!

And slow!!!!

no way anyone will beat Andrew's score......

Anyone that spells Ian with 2 "I"'s deserves everything they get imo ... rip him to shreds Tighty !

as well as having initials that sound like dodgy guts

WP AndrewT - NH GG.

boo at being last out of the eggheads team :(

Oh, apart from tightly, obv :)

If he actually bothered attempting the thing.  He's too busy inventing air-conditioning.  Next, I think he's going to invent a mechanism that involves a circular object rotating about a shaft in its centre. 

good idea

A fat lass riding cowgirl?

9/10 for me, but i got some trivia bucks, that can only be good news.

I had the toughest question.  >:(

Who else got the question about what university some unknown basketball player went to?

... and yes, it's tougher than the question about Australia winning the World Cup at an unknown sport.

10/10 but 94 seconds, was playing a hand mid way through, wouldn't have got close to the top three or four even if I hadn't been playing poker.

repeat performance from me

I've been on hols, so missed the first few days.

Fun though, isn't it?

Sitting at the top of today's table :). Need to know more about Australian sportsmen, obv.

grr.  managed 10/10 with some excellent guessing skills employed on questions about baseball and country music.  took an absolute age for my answers to submit though, so despite whizzing through it in about 30 secs my time is showing as 109 :(

50p please.

How should I know who produced what album if the album was made in the last decade? Don't these quizmasters know I'm old?

Andrew in the lead again!

online quizzes are so rigged.  

oh dear - 6/10.  I'll give myself a kick up the bum and promise to do better tomorrow!

Baseball question did for me :(

Stupid game!

2 days in a row that I beat MrsB!...woohooooo

6/10 ... that will teach me to do it as soon as i get out of bed ...

[ X ] I failed

10/10 but 63 seconds

Andrew does me today, wp sir

Much tougher today, one outright guess on Country music!

we must all get different questions ... rigged IMO, i obv got tightys set !!

I just noticed .I can change the category of questions on a day to day basis or set them up for the week to rotate....wide ranging stuff from geography,history,religion,people,science and a whole load of other stuff...I'm beginning to realise that there is an obvious american slant in the questions,so if ok with everyone there is a topic name World:UK,will give that a whirl tomorrow....

UK questions are good.  Thern perhaps I can beat the German Hippie Dwarf!

don't change it

baseball, Australian sport and music is good!


don't appease the masses...........

damn.....lol...rumbled


...ok how about the daily winner chooses the next category...or keeps it the same..whatever

48 seconds, do i win?

Very very nearly - you were only 5 correct answers away from totally pwning everyone.

Irrelevant, fastest time FTW

I had a country music question too, something like 'Which Tim McGraw song's first line is 'She's my kind of rain'. Uh oh, I thought, until I realised one of the anwser options was 'She's my kind of rain'.

I'm still thick!!!

7/10 so improving.

What a random set of questions. I wish I could remember them but they were so obscure I just didn't care.

8/10 tomorrow. 10/10 by Saturday.

Rubbish score, sigh. 

I need to get faster at copying and pasting stuff into google from the questions imo.

Nothing if not consistant -- same old

Pipped AndrewT by 1 second and 1 point overall!

well done sir

OHNO..the shame! ;)

 so results don't count if you've had a glass of wine even though I had a beer?..interesting :)

ok troops im off for a week to sunny saltcoats with the girls

Do you want a mix of categorys set or back to general knowledge with americanisms?

or just a random selection?

over to you

anything will do..but preferably Dutch history and sport only ;)

Random mix would be good though.

Random Americanisms please and thanks

UK and random, mixed, randomly.

ok americanisms tomorrow

and from saturday through to wednsday general knowledge in ascending order of difficulty

Thursday remains obscure UK day with loads of English counties thrown in of which I as a Scot have no clue ( Hadrian had a purpose when he built that wall and i remain ignorant of english geography )


sighhhhhhhhhhh

That was a tough one today, somehow only got two wrong but that was more down to luck than good judgement. Multiple choice FTW!

sigh ... 9/10 and a good time !!

So rigged.  Even Boldie beat my score.  Sigh.

rotflmfao oh the shame you must feel!

That was to keep their pizzas away from people that would fry them....

Wonder who was using his account this time?

WTF? only one i didnt get right, I do hope people aint googling

question 4

how many cards per suit in a standard pack of cards?

lucky guess obv

ur against the clock too ,so that wouldnt matter

I'm getting a proper mouse to use tomorrow - don't think I can compete with the best times using touchpad.  Not that it made a difference today as I only got 8 right :(

7/10 poor effort.

yeah it's pretty much google-proof

they even randomize the set of questions to each player to stop collusion which is rife in the online quiz community apparently......

9/10!!!!

I'm not last!!!!!!!

9... again.  Stupid baseball questions, I mean, who knows about baseball outside the US? 

I may have had a baseball question too - I don't know because the sport wasn't mentioned!  I got it wrong anyway :)

10/10 - first "decent" set of questions  ;D

Only scuppered by a lagging laptop (honest)

I've got no problems with the baseball questions - keep 'em coming

Sigh.  10/10 but took over 90 seconds to answer them.  Ah well, at least I beat Boldie today. 

[ ] Beating Boldie is an achievement.

+1

rotflmfao :goodpost:

Blimey, I thought I'd try, just to see what the craic was.

Ok so I'm stupid, that's only to be expected, but I didn't even read all of the questions and still took 73 seconds.

How does anyone get a quick time ( without cheating ) ?

9/10 today got a question about some bird that plays in WNBA, WTF is WNBA?

That would be the Women's version of the NBA - National Basketball Association - couldn't name you any players though - but I bet she's got really long legs.

Okay, that last bit almost has me interested.

 ;indestructable;

Tighty, Matt and a few others on here as well  :)

I wonder which one you got wrong then ..... :D

had my first go just now. 10/10 64 seconds, probs would've been quicker but tables kept popping up just for me to fold raggy aces. assume I beat boldie

safe assumption..



top of the board for now today though...A bit surprised Rod managed to get a question wrong today ;)

SHIPPPPPPPPPPPPPP ... lets hope Tighty or AndrewT forget to play today :D

Why do I bother ?

Has anyone out there heard of Johnny Fever ?  A character in a sitcom, apparently.

If so, what's his job ?

Thanks for the reminder 2nd place boy.

LOL ... BOLLOCKS !

 rotflmfao

Make that 4th.

Stupid Yank question :(

I take no responsibility for the attempts by others using the Paradise name (especially as my Mum beat me...)

5th.

And I want a ruling on why I'm second with same points as Kin?

Pastafarians ftw!

You got the same time then?  The reason is, if you go first you're setting the target and the next person knows what they have to beat.  You don't beat it and you go behind the person who set the standard.

I'm sure that's how it works - or it's rigged...

RAmen!

er, quite remarkable.

Anyone else get the question on Julia Roberts???

8. I'm going to create a quiz on Julia Roberts. I'm trying to think of a way to describe a jig. That dreadful FunTrivia Editor did not like the way I described it, so she changed it. Should I?

Your Answer: Just ignore their comments and hopefully someone else will edit it next time

The correct answer was Thank the Fun Trivia Editor for their help.


I kid you not.

10/10, 39 secs

solid podium postion on the way to world quiz championship victory at the Fuji Circuit in November

Soft tyres FTW, great pit stop for a drink after q5 too.

going on life tilt. 9/10 42 seconds. apparently I didn't give an answer for no. 5.

except I did you bloody stupid quiz and it was the correct one

Blondes aint daft.loads of top scores.and just for the record aldi rose ftw.waheyy!!

Is it me ?

I can't even read the questions in 36 seconds , let alone get my mouse in gear to answer the damn questions.

1. On what year are the July 4th celebrations based on?

Your Answer: 1778

The correct answer was 1776.


sigh ... 9/10

9-10..how the hell should i know who was in 3 men and a baby?...the main thing is that it took me 46 seconds to even read the questions.

Name a member of a confederacy of North American Indian people living chiefly in Oklahoma?

I guess good.

10/10 Ship

Would have been quicker but it was my turn in a poker game :)

You should have taken an extra 2 seconds to think before folding  :tikay:

lost a bit of time looking for the option 'a camp poker player from Brighton' in answer to question 9....

9. What is a "royal flush"?

I just wish I could translate my trivia skills into poker skills  ;whistle;

Bugger. Go from a win yesterday to 8/10 today. American President guessed wrong, and a trick question that turned out not to be. Oh well.

More people use this colour toothbrush rather than a red one.

I guess good again.

10/10 again but too slow

10-10...happy with that seeing as MrsB only got 8 ;)

4-tabling and still beat boldie so happy again

rotflmfao

Ooops ...last  ::)

8-10 only and took 96 seconds..BUT beat MrsB again....I love this quiz!

;grr;

Two wanky yanky questions that I didn't guess right this time.

I'm back in my rightful place :)

Although "Harder" is definitely so. 10/10 70 seconds, so unfortunately beatable. And AndrewT is only 7 points behind on the league table now after my disaster yesterday.
Then again, about 30 of those seconds was spent reading this question:
10. You point out to the psychologist you are seeing for trivia addiction that, in response to your spouse's complaints, you have reduced your trivial involvement to a level that your spouse deems acceptable. What does he conclude from this?

1. A long answer
2. A 2 sentence answer
3. A one sentence answer but 2 lines long
4. An answer with words in it I've never even heard before

Bit harsh in a timed quiz I thought :)

1. AndrewT     + 6 pts    10!   38   962
2. rex008    + 5 pts    10!   70   930

FFS  ;grr;. You obviously didn't get the psychology question.

I run good.

Guess you didn't get the question about some obscure US brands then?

ffs, got a question about what astrological sign is between dates x and y. I'm not a woman, how am I supposed to know that?

still, I guess good, 10/10 again ldo

Just 7 today, I'm sure I'm right though.

Indeed you do ;grr;

39 seconds - so close :(

10/10 but slow

Kev's report card from school?

I LOLd

No, my 5th and final year school report was the stuff of legends ... i was out on the school fields it was PE, when this litle scrote comes running across the field and goes straight up to the PE teacher Mr Bartley ... "Sir, the headmaster needs to see Shepherd immediately"  ... "SHEPHERD ... HEADMASTERS OFFICE NOW" came the booming response from Bartley.  WTF have i done now ?  i thought.

Get into Mr Haydocks office and there he is ... the imposing figure of the top man looking at me over the top of his half normal size glasses. "Shepherd do you know what this is" ?  (he said while waving an a4 bound file in his hands) , Me being the cheeky shit that i was back then replies "Sir if i had known you were inviting me in for a quiz, I would have done some research" ... that went down well NOT !!

anyway he slams the file down and proceeds with the quiz ... "Do you know how long I have been teaching ?" , I was just about to come out with another smart arsed answer but he stopped me in my tracks and said "dont bother Shepherd ... its 37 years, 37 years of putting up with comedians and bloody kids who think they rule the world ... and in that 37 years I have signed millions of school reports and this ... THIS ... is the worst one I have ever put my name to in all that time.  What have you got to say about that  ?"

Quick as a flash I reply "Thanks Sir, I am honoured to have achieved such a distinction"  ... Bad move ... he lost the plot, "Piss off out of my office and get back to lessons, you are a waste of education and resources" ..  I laughed as i left the room at this man who was so aloof and me, little old me, had reduced him to swearing at me ... kind of made it all worthwhile LOL.

Just as i was going out of the door he pipes up "Do you know what Shepherd, you will end up spending your days in a betting shop with all the other bums gambling away your dole money" (yes even back then i was always gambling at school and setting up card schools etc.)

Funny thing was, he was half right .. fast forward 4 years and I was manging a branch of Coral bookmakers in Luton ... and guess who used to come in EVERY SINGLE lunchtime to put 2 10p lucky 15's on ... YEP Mr Haydock !!  



I should start a diary ;)

oh boy..MrsB might actually beat me this time...but how the hell am I supposed to know who is 3rd in line for succession?

Dr. Jocelyn Elders held which official position?

****** ******** ***** **** ****** yanks.

Did you not know that one? Amazingly, I'd actually heard of her.

I managed to misclick - apparently I didn't give an answer to one question when I plainly did (the easiest question on there). So I got 9 really. Computer says no. Just waiting for AndrewT to come along and win it again. Sigh. I'm off the top of the monthly leaderboard and not likely to get back up there.

And I've been beaten by boldie. I've never met him, but by all accounts that just shouldn't happen :).

rotflmfao...oh the shame you must feel :)

I got one wrong today and I was slow so it should be beatable.

 ;grr; ;grr;

If computer had actually registered my click, I'd have beaten you by 1 second.

 ;frustrated; ;frustrated;

Not that I'm competitive or anything  :D

OMG hold hold hold hold

Once again, I was too slow - dammit!  Went back and changed an answer.............from the right one to the wrong one!

Ha - I beat AndrewT - I'm retiring!!!!

rotflmfao

Asked who presents some TV show, never heard of the show or any of the four presenters listed, US show I'm guessing.

Don't let Tikay know you got the Sky Poker question wrong.

Sorry Claire

 ;D :( ;D :(

Hmm Kinboshi and Rod have been very quiet about the quiz today...maybe the shame was too much and they topped themselves?

Still raging that according to them a bluebonnet is not just the flower of Texas (which I knew), it's also a typeof Margarine (in the US I suppose) & a SCOTTISH HIGHLANDER??? WTF??

Other one wrong was a guess at some yank politician. meh.

Bluebonnet?..Isn't that you in a Rangers top?

Don't start on me Boldie - you won't like me when I'm angry.

;D

wow, 1930s westerns, PBS series  :dontask: , pro wresling, montana, etc. I was in proper guessville mode today. same score as boldie but slower, fml

I got a load of bollock questions I must say.

I mean one was along the lines of..

"Your car breaks down on the way to a club with your gf" do you:

A) Ring you mum to say you will be late
B) ring for a mechanic to fix the care....
C) .....

WTF is this all about?! lol.

C) forget the club and get busy in the car? :dontask:

FYL very hard indeed

D) post the folowing on blonde 'Do you think your Dad will lend us some cash for tomorrow? Or will I have to use mums credit card? I dont mind which, maybe easier to use mums credit card.'

:)

rotflmfao

rotflmfao

Thought exactly the same when I saw that!

stupid british questions...I know nothing about who played cricket and where FFS.

I got two football questions. Both of which I got wrong. It's a stupid sport anyway :).

poo - the last one was a guess and I changed it from the right answer to the wrong answer :(

9/10 again, French history question stuffed it up for me today.

LOL - don't take a phone call during the quiz. 

;grr;

Well I really, really hate to say this but......... you beat me again.  DAMMIT - give me a maths test, that'll do it!

phone call? yeah ok. 10/10 in 149 seconds stinks of googling. I'd report you to the headmaster except you are him

Fecking old TV quizes  ;frustrated;

Sale of the Century   ;madasahatstand;

Windy Miller, The Archers Music, Jongleurs - hardly difficult questions.  When they aren't about US president's middle names or state flowers, they aren't too hard.

LOL I got 9/10 windy miller ffs, i thought he was trumpton !!

But my 9/10 is ahead of kins 10/10 :D :D

rotflmfao

live from norwich, it's the quiz of the week - classic!!!!

Shhhhhhhhh

Anyone mind if we lock the game for the rest of today , please

 ;whistle;

Sigh, you should know better!


Sigh again. 

About time I woke up in these things (get my guesses right)

Bit better today - relatively easy though. 10/10 37s.

BTW: It's only 42 days until Talk Like A Pirate Day. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

I'm now beginning to get my dodgy questions. When you're flying along at speed, something like this throws you.

Some people really do fail at question setting.

If anyone's wondering why MrsB is second in the rankings today gettign 10-10...it's because I did it on our home PC and didn't realise it was her that was logged in on it..not going to do my own quiz today as...well..I might end up beating myself and the Mrs would still claim the win ;)

Yay I'm 3rd!!!

10/10 for the first time and only 2 guesses.

Just one thing. 37 seconds? HOW??

There is a technique.and it it aint cheating.speed reading and skipping the bulk of the question,sometimes u can go straight for the answer almost instantly

and don't use a touchpad (must dig out that mouse!!!)

It's almost easier to read the answers first, and then skim for keywords in the question.

And get lucky with shortish questions :).

Oh, and use the mouse wheel to scroll, not the scroll bars obv.

thought I creamed it today, but to sloooooow

“Made it, Ma. Top of the world!” ...

... so what if I'm the first person to have entered today

 ;bumwiggle; ;bumwiggle;

hmmm - very odd.  Just played today's quiz (my username on there is claw) and noticed someone else has already played today (and other days) using the name claw75.  Just thought I should make clear which one is really me!!!!!!

Respect to Rod today - 34s is going to be tough to beat. I got some unfortunately long-winded questions and only managed 38s with one lucky guess :(.

Lets get a few more entries in, get AndrewT out the top 10, and I'll go back to the top of the leaderboard :D

I had one today, I hope people will forgive me if I'm giving it away.

Quiz : 30

Question :  What is 5x6

Answer : ???

I actually reread it twice coz it was so easy.  I'm never going to be quick.

need to work on speed

In all honesty I took the advice earlier in the thread - scanned the answers first. Then my guess worked out  ;whistle;

Where's that verdamnt German dwarf?

Ok, from now on I'm not posting any more advice  ;topofclass; ;D

I would have topped it today, except for the final question:

What is the best rating?

a) Good
b) Out of this world
c) Excellent
d) Very good

WTF??

b, obv

Course it is, c'mon Kin  it wasn't that hard a question  ;)

Blimey Rod. What time did you get up today? Could be two in a row for you.

Me so sloooow :(

whoever is pretending to be me isn't very good ::)

oh boy..10-10 but slower than MrsB :(

No, the answer was c.

that is stupid then

often discribed as (b) i happen to agree ;)

If only the Giants/Mariners were as good  as that ..... :'(

in middle of watching giants vs dodgers game - we're winning!!  ;yippee;

We're nearly winning, just need 10 more runs to edge ahead ....  ;whistle;

sigh - bok city :(

Up early - early kickoff at the football

 rotflmfao ;nana;

wwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2 run bottom of the ninth gives us two wins on the bounce against one of our divisional rivals!!

 ;applause; ;applause;

Well somehow we didn't manage the 10 runs we needed in the 9th  ;) and lost (again !!)

At least the Nationals have a worse record that us.... :D

6. I made up a really stupid quiz. It was probably one of the world's stupidest quizzes. I had a lot of fun preparing it. But I wanted it in another area. But the Trivia Editor insisted that it go into this one category. What should I do?

WTF? I'm OK with missing the jewellery question..but this one is ridic.

I'm obviously up before Rod today, and have set a fairly tough bar to beat I think.

AndrewT slipped in with a late win yesterday I see. That leaderboard is looking close at the top!

Fk My Life!!! - My mother decides to have a go, starts the quiz before she remembers I'm logged in, goes back a page to log me out of her computer and log her in, I get into work & do the quiz, about 40 seconds - 1531 seconds - Ma Paradise had started the clock for me :(  ;madasahatstand; ;frustrated; ;technophobe;

If I'd waited till later in the day they might have reset it after their maintainance later this morning :(

rotflmfao @ getting your mom to do your homework for you

One thing I'd never do is get my Old Dear to do a quiz for me. :) I'm not convinced it wasn't deliberate so she could beat me.

7. Some British people can be seen standing at the ends of platforms, bridges, or fences holding notebooks, pens, and binoculars. What is this hobby called?

            Cottaging
            Vedging
            Cricketing
            Trainspotting


Who said that it was OK for Tikay to set questions?

           

... and how long has he been into cottaging?

rotflmfao  he gets every where so he does.

Excuses, excuses.  The tide is turning my dear.............

OHNO!...I rode my luck for too long and variance has finally come up and kicked me in the neh-nehs..natural order has been restored :(

Slow one today - but I managed to fluke guess a 60s music question. Not hopeful. Leaderboard is looking tight at the top - AndrewT needs to have a bad day again :).

Top of the world, Ma! I'm top of the world!

They've obviously been stealing questions from University Challenge.

lol missed 2 questions

A question on German names and their meanings??? Fk my Life!!!

No wonder Boldie's winning.

lol..69 seconds, Rod?..You googling for the answers or something?

beating Andrew and Rex, I am doing OK today.

I'm beating Rod and MrsB, but that is to be expected really, isn't it? ;)

:( 1 second

Wordy questions - if I'd googled the German one I'd have been about the same time but got it right mind you.

Which was the correct answer?

Blatant "I am top now" brag IMO.

No, I am.

;whistle;

That's what I said, ya eejit.

FKmylife..hard.

I know.  But I was waiting for you to post the 'blatant brag post' post.

lol..you're a cunning wee soul, aren't ya?

 ;laxie;

as cunning as a fox who has just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University

2 points separating 2nd from 5th - it's sooooooooooooo tense

thankyou Ms Blackadder

I can't believe I'm the bottom 10/10 on only 59s. More slower 10/10 please - put some distance between me and AndrewT :D. Two points on the monthly leaderboard!

8/10

Pretty good to say that 4 of them were guesses.

Anyone know the name of Moses' brother?

Also some bloke was 7'1" but his parents were only ?? How can you even begin to know these things?

Aaron.


That's a tough question if that's all you got!!

I got both of these questions too

and got both wrong

blah is all I have to say.

Ooh. Some tough questions today. Several educated guesses, but managed to hit them all. Middling time though.

Still, just noticed AndrewT trailed me by a few seconds today, so leaderboard ;first; assured for one more day at least.

Don't worry, I go on hols on Sunday, so some of you might be able to catch up  ;).

 rotflmfao

I guess 5 and get all 5 wrong FFS...I take it you guessed better?

I hate the English questions round...stupid butter questions and other county based non-sense.

Had to guess one (correctly), and was a bit slow on some that I shouldn't have been today. Beaten by Kin already.

Didn't get a butter question, but how hard can it be? Made from milk, comes from cows, salted or not, eat on toast or any other bread based product... :)

yeah but Brittain's favourite butter? WTF?

I'm pretty sure that Britain's favourite (head) butter is Jon Otway.

Was that one of the optons?

John Otway rocks!!!!

Unfortunately not one of the option mate. And I think you'll find it's Brittain. 2 T s.....or at least that's the way I'm going to spell it from now on and so..there! :)

Good effort by me - speling John Otway's name wrong too.
He does, indeed, rock. Still fantastic live.

saw him 5-6 years ago - fantastic!

Headbutts FTW

Apart from the 4 options yes that was it.

I guessed right btw. 5' 8"


5/10 today. I suck at quizzes!!

2 teas ?

You must be joking.

It's the national drink ffs - I've had 4 cups already today

lol, wtf

What learning programmes are associated with bad knitwear?

That was quite a tough one today WP to those who got all 10.

Shucks, I didn't know who won the NHL Eastern conference in 2003.
Slapped wrists for me.

 ;grr; ;grr;

American university nickname and greek mythology both guessed wrong. Super fast time too :(

Oh well.

blah..knew everything but pc froze 71 seconds FFS!

lol - thanks boldie's pc :)up

Just wait till Kin logs in, the you'll have the shame of being knocked off the top spot by him ...trust me, it sucks :(

i suck at this

In drag racing what is the name of the starting equipment that starts a race?

Anyone?

Answers not accepted from anyone else who got this insane question.

I didn't get that one. Which is a pity, as my googling has just confirmed I did know the answer.

You never been to Santa Pod? It's an entertaining day out, especially if some of the bonkers cars are running. Witnessed a jet car there once. Which was rather impressive.

Can my time be adjusted for the effects of a hangover, please.
I think halving the time would be about fair.  :)up

Send !!

Dammit! 38 seconds but because Kev took it first I get second place FML.

sigh, 1s slower than kev and boldie, life sucks

I would be no 1, but managed to answer that Vegetarians would not eat vegetables. Reading the question ftw, fml, etc :).

rotflmfao..how on earth are you still second in the league table? ;)

By normally actually reading the questions :). I read the questions a bit better today, got 10/10, but fairly rubbish time. Pure guess on a Tom Sawyer question.

Anyway, I won't be up there for long. I'm off to the sunny Netherlands at 21:00 tonight from sunny Hull, and from there to sunny Denmark. No internet likely. So I'll be back for the September leaderboard :).

Cheerio all.

;whistle;

30 seconds is sick.

It's impossible.

I demand a drug test !!

( For you that is, not me. )

30 seconds is not impossible - it's just not quite good enough.

 ;tightend;

Nice time, bitch.

 ;bump;

Too fast for me Rod - impressive!

Bumped because I want more people to have a go (gets the points up ;) ) - no doubt AndrewT will beat me by a second or something though.

Got my last question wrong today

Loved the comment from Eck:


Similarly if she asks "Does this dress make me look fat?", the reply "No, it's all the pies you eat that make you look fat" can lead to impact trauma of the cranium.

Ever?


BTW Some time!!

 ;whistle; :)up ;whistle;

Swine - nice score though - at least Moskovic got my revenge for me.

i got to admit

i was fairly over confident on that win...what win?!!lol

Good time today - bring it on!!

Bring it on - no-one's beating today's score!!!

That was some time.has andrew retired?or cruising bolt style 2 the end of month win

Less players - less points for the winner - Andrew T playing tactically.

He's probably out or something and will bang in a 31 second score at 11:59 fk my life.

Just for bolt.do the quiz and then post a whine.all for the count

Moskvich might...

                  Award                      Correct               Seconds              Score
1. Moskvich  + 18 pts                    10!                      33                     967
2. Rod_Paradise  + 16 pts              10!                      35                     965



 :P *g *g *g ;applause; ;surrender; ;surrender;

Ooh I didn't see there was a challenge attached to today's...  ;D

Great Score!!

*g ;applause; ;surrender;







 ;frustrated;

You're at a stop light and you notice the person in the car next to you - ahem - picking their nose. This is an exercise that you have always personally found appalling. Private gripes aside, what is the best way to proceed?
 
Blow your horn and wave a tissue at him or her.
Roll down your window and holler "Hey! Hey! Stop that!".
Scrunch up your nose and offer a swift (and obscene) hand gesture.
Ignore him or her and just hit the gas when the light turns green.

WTF?????

Avoid Q4o imo.

ugh - horrible questions today.  I only knew one answer!  Managed a few educated/lucky guesses as well though to save some face ;D

I struggled too - Queen's middle names and other such pish.

I knew my non-existent knowledge of Eastenders (and other soaps) was going to cost me.

I also believe that the question with Steve Bull as an option is wrong. I'm pretty sure that he played top flight football. According to the "always reliable" wikipedia he did, anyway.

10/10 but andrews fingers are much too nimble in the speed stakes

what was the question?

As I'm using my mouse to move the cursor about, technically my speed is all in the wrist, which kind of makes sense...

Which of the following England footballers never played top flight football? Something like that anyway. Oops, I've given the game away.

pft that's easy - I don't even need to see the options.  Steve Bull, ldo

yes, ldo, but he did - so the question/answer is wrong

he played for Wolves, so he has never played top flight football FACT !

obv eastenders question killed me!

I never got an eastenders question, plenty of royal palaces questions though !

who is Phils Mithells brother in Eastenders, sigh.

He had a spell at West Brom - wikipedia "FACT"!

He played for Wolves and West Brom ... he has never played top flight football FACT

FMP :)

just a reminder guys new monthly quiz starts tomorrow..roll up roll up

see page 1 for those not yet played

wp andrewT looks like he is the smartypants of blonde for august

100 seconds, the slowest 10/10.

Too much of a thinker for this.

A lot of the times are very impressive.

 1. Where should a quiz on the television show 'The Simpsons' go?
 
 a - In entertainment
 b - In television category, Simpsons subcategory
 c - In television
 d - In animals

Any ideas?

Apparently it's c.

Explanation:

The correct answer was In television category, Simpsons subcategory.

Television is good, but if the quiz can fit into a subcategory, use the subcategory!

Life quiz tilt!!!!!!!! only 9/10 on a Sunday!!!!
 

surely following that explanation it should be 'b'?  :dontask:

Oops. Spelt b wrong.  ;noflopshomer;

rotflmfao

Genius stuff!!

10/10, 1st time for everything, including a random question about the most popular toothbrush colour!

Blue ldo

Must be them Everton fans who have the cleanest teeth...

Nah, too many toffees.

Bugs me how u lot can read sooo fookin fast let alone clicking right answers as well !!!!!!!!!!

oops logged in from work and was busy left it and clocked over 6000seconds :)

That's pretty spectacular Acidmouse.

I don't feel quite so much of a slowcoach now

I'm back from hols but have had 2 bad days already. Super fast time yesterday, but neglected to properly read one question. Slow time today, and got a flippin basketball question. Meh. I'll be back up there. Sometime.

Aaaaaagh - my time was sabotaged by the server not responding - that's so not fair.  :(

FFS!!!  Same here!!!   ;frustrated;

my score was sabotaged by my brain not responding  ;djinn;

I'm praying that happens to AndrewT - but he'll probably beat me by 1 second - fk my life.

He doesn't need to actually beat you to get a higher score:

Player   Pts Awarded   Correct   Seconds   Score
1. AndrewT    + 25 pts    10   41   959
2. Sheriff_Fatman    + 23 pts    10   41   959

Think the first one to get the time gets marked higher than the second one.

16 seconds!!!

Even AndrewT can't top that ;cupcake;

Impressive time evilpie.ur varience is however -15%.lol

Total disaster today :(. Some stupid questions tho - got 8/10 and that included 2 lucky guesses.

Seems my trivia is now following my stock picking ability :).

Took me a bit longer to beat you, but not anyone else.   rotflmfao  UK telly...who watches it anyway?  Sigh.

Impressive stuff from Kev today. Who helped you ;)

I got the Housemartins & The Beautiful South mixed up & yesterday I got the wrong gender for Moon Unit Zappa fml.

Total disaster today. 4 total WTF questions, all of which I got wrong. The holiday obviously did me no good at all. :(.

2 wins in a week  ;karabiner;

I'll pretend Andrew T took part yesterday ;) - no win today - didn't know who'd been on the cover of Sports Illustrated the most.

34 seconds to beat - let's see you do it again AndrewT

Bah - 38 seconds.

BTW, if you never bump this thread, I never remember to do the quiz.

I'd sticky it - but the other mods would complain.

put it in your favourite sites ,then u probably visiit it every day

BTW 28 seconds 10 outta 10 WTF?

lol

crap time - stupid longwinded "my first letter is in..." question.

grrr - fairly good time this morning, knew all the answers, but completely missed one of the questions :(

 ;nana;

 ;applause;

Moscovich is still a danger to you though.

Ugh!! Forgot about him........

I had a lovely set of easy questions here tbh. Only had to think about the last one. Could've been sub 30 but for that last one.

Nearly off the bottom of the page - Claw winning today - I'd a good time but I didn't know her name - I'd have got the film she was in if I'd known it :(

(http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/030203/113420__er_l.jpg)

Doh. Now you've done it. AndrewT is going to remember to play it again ;).

I had not one but TWO stupid American sports player questions today. "What college was some strangely named 7' tall bloke at?". Yeah, right, thanks. Definitely not doing so well this month :(.

And WP Claire in our battle for 4th place. Think you may take it back today :).

Yes, bumping the thread did mean AndrewT remembered to play it.

However, he also got two stupid American sports player questions.

:tikay:


 ;woohoo;

It's not a good win unless you beat AndrewT, Rex & Moskovich IMHO. It's always fun to beat Kinboshi & Kev, but there's a few it's really worth beating IMHO.

Edit - Beating Boldie FTW obv...

sigh hadn't played this in ages...and very slow with my ten today..only beat Kev FFS..might as well not have taken part at all.

me too v slow. 110 questions so far today by the group and only 1 wrong answer. can only assume boldie's been on his better half's a/c

lol..she feels bad enough alreday for having got one wrong...so thanks for rubbing it in for me..I would get in a world of trouble if I did :)

seriously though..the "send something to the quizmaster" questions are ridiculous

A lot of it is ridiculous. We just play it for fun, right? It's a bit like poker in that respect.

I cant do fast .. i really cant

lol

If 10/10 in 26s doesn't get me my first win of the month, I think I may have to kill something.

Probably AndrewT

:)

Some time!!

I survive for another day.

Yeah - I'm crap at both  :)

Anyone up for a change of categories,if so post away and i can sort it out.

can we just have it give us completely random categories every day?

Just make it easy ALL week and we'll get on grand.   rotflmfao

can we have pictures?

you're already spoilt for choice right here

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=36414.0

Ship ship

I hate the UK quiz - but it's fair enough having is as something different.

What other options are open to you? Science and Nature's my chosen subject, but it's just for a laugh so what're the options?

WP Sir. GG. Disaster for me today.

Categories - I could go for a variety - can it be random? Sci/tech would be mine as well, but on that site there seems to be a pretty wide choice (from the main triv challenge page):
Animals
Celebrities
Entertainment
For Children
General
Geography
History
Hobbies
Humanities
Literature
Movies
Music
People
Religion
Sci / Tech
Sports
Television
World

I guess some people are going to do better on some categories than others, which could make it more interesting. I'll abandon an attempt on the Celebrity day tho :).

1.25pm is a bit early for that.

:)

Good choice of new categories. Should make it a bit more interesting.

Done ok today - American state trees though, ffs?

Blimey. Those Movie questions are indeed "Difficult". I consider myself reasonably knowledgeable about films (I've managed to watch about 230 of the IMDB Top 250 (http://uk.imdb.com/chart/top)), but even 6/10 included a couple of lucky guesses.

Yes, harder today. If you've not seen the movie that a quote comes from, you have to have a wild guess - there's no educated gussing.

3/10, yesssssssssssssssssss

Well done mate.

I got 4/10 yesterday but I was a lot slower so probably about even.

wow, I knew 0/10 so picked the 1st option for each question and scored 3. I'm not last though

Yeah I had not idea on most of them 2/10, knew 1 question for sure quessed rest and got ul :)

It's a good one today. Suspect there will be high variance :).

Oh, should have said: Avast shipmates! tis International Talk Like a Pirate Day today, you scurvy dogs.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Let's go on a diet! What is the best way to lose weight effectively?

            Eat 3 square meals a day.
            Eat frequent small meals every 3 hours or so.
            Skip breakfast
            Cut out in-between meal snacks


Debatable answer.

I think that was the slowest quiz I've done so far - 72 seconds.

Typical - Claim Science as my best subject - 7 out of 10 first quiz. Meh.

Jeepers - who would have known I was such an expert on mothers breast feeding their babies.
Two questions on that topic???
I'd advise anyone to swot up on that just in case they get the same set of questions.

Woohoo - fill in answers, press submit, get the 'the site is down for maintenance' message.

A mere 1484 seconds for me today.

;D

As long as it didn't ask how many states there are in the USA....

I know nothing about Canadian prime ministers, popes or American trials.

FML

I think there were 10 questions I knew nothing about today!

lol I had one question about a dead hockey players nickname...:)

I'd one "A couple were shot dead in their brown camper van in 1968, what were their names?"

FML indeed.

How did the BB quiz go, by the way? One of these days I'll actually be able to persuade the wife to let me off the leash for a weekend of poker, quizzes, and general debauchery :).

It was rubbish, I think the quizmaster put it together in a rush.

I'll post the questions on here if you want?

and don't forget to say that ChezGer finished joint first

allowing for the fact that any team that AndrewT's in should be disqualified as they have an unfair advantage

3 outta 10 today...tough indeed

Yes please.

Was the quiz on the Friday? If so, I hope the entire thing was done in pirate talk? :)

You did get the most points for the 3rd set of questions.  You just didn't so well in the previous rounds.

Bumpity bump. Back to the difficult movie questions today. I'm only bumping this cos I did fairly well - fluked a couple to get 9/10. Want some competition to get the scores up :). Maybe it's my lucky week - I've won the last 2 SNGs and cashed in 2 of 3 MTTs I've played too. Just need the £100m on Friday to complete the set :).

quite pleased with 5/10 today as there were 9 guesses in the mix :D

2 qustions on Sleepless in Seattle.

[  ] I run so good.

me too Rod

and i got both right


I know...shameful

[X] At least I didn't get 2 chick-flick questions right ;)

I only got 1

Happy with 9/10 today :)

Yay!!!  Nice to be somewhere near the top for a change and not glued to the bottom.   rotflmfao

Sigh - really knew I shouldn't have bothered trying this      rotflmfao

After a shocking last yesterday, at LAST a return to form ;D Beat that Andrew T!!!

NH WP.

I had a question about the father of some obscure american actress. Sigh.

You still need a differential of 20 points to beat me in the monthly standings. And any argument based on better average score will be studiously ignored ;nana;.

too right - or any one who skips movie day would walk it!!!

Or people day in my case.

Higher average is the true measure of quiz ability though ;)

Unless you're Andrew T though.

I dropped 2 points today as I'm neither american nor a girl

too many yank questions in this thing for my liking

10/10 but too darn slow...sigh

blatant 'i'm a yank and I'm a girl' brag post imo

lol. blatant cheating imo. 2 point deduction for the yank chick

Hey!  I didn't even manage top spot!  Beat by a bunch of lads...how sad is that?

1. Rod_Paradise     + 14 pts    10!   33   967

Anyone getting 10 today must be a mega film buff.

FYP

ooo is it film day again?  I'm going to set myself a target of 3/10

thatll equal mine then
 didnt know any of em

5/10 that I knew.

All my guesses were wrong.

as usual for film day 10 guesses. 4/10 means my guessing is improving.

Particularly Kev & Rex....

I spent 8 years doing a 90 minute each way train commute with a portable DVD player (I bought one in 2000 when they were £900 for a reasonable one. Them were the days  ;tk;). I got through a few films. Bit rusty on anything released in the last 18 months though :).

And I should have got 9 - I clicked the right answer on one of them, then had a brainstorm and changed it. And it was an embarrassingly easy one too. Duh. Besides, after yesterday's somewhat humiliating result, it's just karma :).

LOL. I've just noticed the abbreviation for the "old man" smiley.  rotflmfao

FYP

it won't last long, so I'm going to bask in it while I can!

            Queen Elizabeth II

Definite challenge to the hosts there.

Ooooh, a tough set of questions today for me. I'm pleased with 9/10. Now, that's a proper quiz.

+1

my first go at this - I'll be back!

It's a pretty good start!

Make sure you read the whole question. The shame of answering Catherine Bach instead of Jessica Simpson because I didn't get to the (2005) at the end was unbearable a few days ago :).

Nearly off the page - bumped so I see it tomorrow....

Nice time Mr.T. I was beginning to think I'd have no competition this month ;)

Oh, and

 :birthday:

What I want most for my birthday is for you to forget about this quiz for a week.

I hate movie rounds. I actually knew 2 of them today which is the highest so far. add in 3 educated guesses and 5 complete guesses and I'm happy with my score

wiiiiiii

Ship the first ever win to thetank the film studies graduate that was sitting next to him.

First time ever in the top 10 tooo. wiiiiiiiiiiii

Bump.

I'm on hols for the last 5 days of this month. Somebody might be able to catch up, you never know :).

I wish my live poker record was as good. I failed to cash at DTD for the 15th time out of 15 attempts last night. Sigh.

ur too good rex

i wish i had an excuse

but i dont

one month i will make the top ten

im about to face the fact that i am thick

lol

Nah. As has been pointed out previously, I just have no life.

blimey, today was worse than movie day. 10 out and out guesses from me today

+1

5/10 for me ... having a bad month on the quiz.

kin fone was doing so well up till then

I think I might win today........

















.........If everybody else is dead!!!!

it appears my alter-ego is back again ;D

Got one wrong today - one of those stupid 'setting a quiz' questions!

The common sense ones, yeah, they burn me too. :(

Bump - so it's easier to find.

LOL funny how this always gets bumped by people who have recorded a decent time and they want others to play to bump up their points ;)

Not at all - was bottom of the page.

I am quite proud to have got that time with the amount of drink I've had today though ;)

If i ever get a faster pc ur all fecked

Er, is there any logic to this scoring? I am 2 seconds slower than bhoywonder and get 4 less points. Everybody below me gets the same score as me. If it awards far more points for the top ten, that's naff IMHO.

50p please.

Yes, it appears that after the top 10 points drop off dramatically.

Oh, and based on current rules,
  ;bump;
 :). Although 35s very beatable, and I know who by :(.

I'm off on hols tonight, returning next weekend. So Rod, you've got 80 points to catch in 5 days. Andrew, I think you left it too late. Good luck :).

people round sucks

movie round sucks

kev, saw your comment 'colchester: wp test lol'

test is an account I set up to check what time I could get if I didn't read anything, just picked 10 answers and hit submit as I was highly suspicious about some of the times.

seeing as that took 15 seconds I'm still highly suspicious about people taking 25/26 seconds and getting 10/10

If you can work out how it is cheatable,by all means post here

I cant see a way myself?



who wants new categories?

I can always oblige

People and Movies do, indeed suck.

I'd say we should stick with what we've got till the end of the month though.

Gatso, having got a 10/10 in 20-odd seconds I assure you I didn't cheat - speed reading FTW.

New categories every month would be cool just to freshen it up.

I can't vouch for other people but I speed-read, hence if I get a round where I only need to read question once to get answer then I'll get a quick time.

It cost me this weekend though with a misclick...

LOL at gatso thinking you actually need to read the questions for the easy rounds.

All you do is look at the question - the relevant word will be obvious.

Rod learned at blonde bash one that cheating at quizzes is naughty.

I learned that you get caught. :(

Rod proved under Tighty's supervision that we weren't cheating. (Tighty supervised the specialist subject though).

Tank's a blabbermouth.

I had no idea about all the questions today, really strange obscure ones.

I never said you were cheating, I said that you learned cheating is wrong.
Learned from witnessing the horrifics going on at the other teams tables obv.

I think andrew does it by having 1/2 his brain replaced by a robot, rod's really good at guessing and rex I'm not sure about, he probs went to prep school or something

my suggestions for round changes are-

-scrap people permanently as the questions are way too obscure/U.S. centric
-if we have a movies round have a slightly easier one (although personally I'd prefer to scrap it)
-no more rounds that are classed as very easy. the current saturday one's a bit pointless as everyone gets 10/10

Bumpage rules means its my turn ;)

Ok changes after haloween coming,keep the suggestions coming

Surely some decent sports questions, and not american sports either...

Include topics that are a test of knowledge rather than speed reading and better mouses.
I'd like to be more vague but ...

Today I got my favourite question yet even though it destroyed my time because I was too busy laughing:

"Broadway has attracted Charles' interest, especially a book about a citrus that made good on the stage. Which one did he find?"

I'll give the answer tomorrow for anyone who didn't get this question today. It's probably just me that spent a minute looking for a "serious" answer and wondering who Charles is.

I'll go for C

Close.

The answer is:

B:- A Chorus Lime.

Probably only appeals to me and 10 year olds but it made me laugh.

I got that one too but didn't even notice the pun, just that the fruits in the other 3 answers weren't citrus

Too smart for me. I stared at it for ages. I was wondering if there was a "Jack Lemon Story".

oh no,i've never tried this before,so i answered the first ques the hit enter,so one right nine unanswered 1/10,the shame!!
anyone tried the BBC's fear of maths quiz today?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7699000/7699177.stm
2/5 if anyone gets no.5 right you should have a name change to Little Man Tate,even with a pen and paper it would take me ages to work this out and that is with the solution.

Little Man Tate it is, then. Strictly speaking the question about the 75 years is more general knowledge than maths. It's pretty easy to work out 5 once you realize what the sequence is.

The motorbike question on the maths quiz was stupid - bet he didn't get the asking price.

lol i got 2/5 but i got number 5 right ... pure guess though :D

I get back from hols to find myself doing a "Horror or Poker" round that is 10 questions on mostly obscure horror films. Different, I must say :). 6/10 is winning at the mo tho :).


I lol'd :).

But if by prep school you mean a fee paying school, then yes, funnily enough. Where alongside Latin, Greek, Fagging and Philosophy, I also had 2 lessons per week on 1980s horror films.

I run so bad at movies. I knew 3 of the answers and still only got 2/10.

2 of mine weren't even questions

no new rounds on greek, latin or fagging please

I don't think that one round of Latin per week would be asking for too much.
I can still remember the old school motto: "Fortiter, fideliter, feliciter".
Happy days.

Wednesdays should be fagging days imo

Is it just me or is it broken today? Showing yesterday's scores for me. Blatant brag that I'm top obv :), but only 7 played yesterday I think.

They do their maintenance at 10am so maybe fixed after that.

Still bust.  :'(

It's reset now.

So you can play that funky music (round).

A little knowledge, and some common sense guesswork got me to 8/10. Eminently beatable by someone who knows some music. Although there were at least 3 country music questions in there for me, which didn't help.

sigh, ffs, bugger

I suck at this music round just as much as at movies. I knew 2/10 but guessed my way to 6/10

it's very old git middle of the road crap music orientated but at least it keeps kev in points

well, today was just bizarre. good though, I like that round even with some very weird questions

Roll up roll up newbies .poker quiz nite tonight.

If I win a music round there's something wrong with you all!!!

All the bands I like have lost at least one member to the big jam session in the sky....

 ;bump;

Before it falls off the front page

Chirp bump!!!

It's all going horribly wrong. 3 days of FAIL.

How come I get country music or opera when it's a music day? I'm not white trash, or a toff. Well, not that much of a toff, anyway :).

I got 60s country music, i think.

Chirp bump !!

Bumped to celebrate your 2/10 in the movies round Kev? Impressive :).

Yeah, I was particularly proud of that 2 :)

that was a ridiculously hard round today 10 questions all along the lines of- which of these 4 films that you've not heard of did this person that you've not heard of star in?

Thanks to everyone for trying to let me win on my birthday.
No idea why sharplea had to spoil it though.

LOL, I just had that "every guess is correct day"

Excuses, excuses.

poker questions are brilliant. some are like the worst pha posts ever, no blinds, no stack sizes. I particularly like the one where I have to pick how many outs I have when my oppo is drawing dead.

I see there's not much speed reading going on in this round

No, not a lot - that question where the oppo was drawing dead confused the hell out of me, i was shouting at the computer "I don't need outs FFS!!"

If anyone else gets the question about who was Dennis Lilllee's partner, can they try and remember the options, please?
I seriously want to quibble about the answer.
I'm sure that it was Dannii Minogue. :)

You beat me by 1 second.

Bad times.

poker questions today.  This one tilted me!

 9. Your opponent gets a sly look on his face and checks. What should you do? Your view: Board - As Ts Kc 4s Pocket - Ah Td
 
 Bet 100 chips
 Check
 Bet 600 chips
 Push all-in

I got that one (wrong). :)
It made my head spin.

I got about 6 questions on the history of the WSOP - including "what made the second pair for some geezer to eliminate another geezer who had aces in 2003?"  FML!!

Got that one too (and the others on WSOP history).
I think it's fun!
It's definitely better than what TV channel televises the WPT in the US!

FML!!! Was going to do a chirp bump as I was chuffed with my time and 10 correct answers - only to find Rex has beaten it. wp gg nh....

tyvm

:)

and even that wasn't good enough ftw. blimey, and I was well happy with my time

after yesterdays disaster, I have redeemed myself with a maximum today .. time is well beatable though :(

9/10...sigh.  That'll teach me not to change an answer.

Right, if monkeyboy beats me today, I'm going to be seriously ooked off :).

I got a phonecall mid quiz and had to rush out...

bow before your master:

No need to worry, I crashed and burned today!
