Bit better today - relatively easy though. 10/10 37s. Top Cumulative Scores For This Month Player Days Played Wins Total Points 1. AndrewT 7 2 163 2. rex008 7 1 132 3. kinboshi 7 1 132 Justice! Just need AndrewT to have a bad day  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.
3. What happened at 12:24 p.m.?
The students dispersed
The rally ended
The guard fired into the crowd
The guard dispersed
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  |

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. |

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  |

Lets get a few more entries in, get AndrewT out the top 10, and I'll go back to the top of the leaderboard In all honesty I took the advice earlier in the thread - scanned the answers first. Then my guess worked out  Where's that verdamnt German dwarf? |
