Trivia Anyone?

[Vanessa Jade]

Dammit, I selected the wrong answer for one of 'em. Oh well :violin:

 

[Bocefish]

I almost left the comment "We're coming for you Inkydoo'' in the comment box of the trivia site and just before I hit the send button... realized what kind of site we all visit and thought better of it. We are gaining on him though and looks like it may be a close one this month.

 

[LiLredhairedgrl]

I ran away from the internet... :mrgreen: Can I have make-up days? (ok ok off I go to do the quiz at a normal time of day...grumble grumble.)

:hello2:

 

[LiLredhairedgrl]

I am so happy that I remembered my daily trivia for 2 days in a row! Yeah me! :mrgreen: Not so happy with my knowledge of animal trivia though... Last place is AWESOME! MUAWHAAAbaha.

 

[ga5457]

Looks like I have a firm grip on last place.

Well, missing a day last weekend really made things exciting, and at least for today, morment has slipped past me (though it may not last since he got two fewer right today). But, yeah, it's all bunched up at the top now, with six people within ten points of the leader.

I was going to make a comment on there about screencapping the rankings since I doubt I'll be at the top for long after today's mess on my part, but the character limit got in the way. :lol:

 

[LiLredhairedgrl]

So who is this 'Bom' character?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup_d'état

:shock: :lol:

 

[Bocefish]

I dunno who Bom is, but sent a little warning today. If Bom plays again without a valid introduction, Bom be bon voyage bye-bye. :hello2:

 

[Jupiter551]

lol bom voyage

 

[LiLredhairedgrl]

Well, at least I played the minimum 10 games in order to be considered within the rankings- and at an almost respectable #12!

Hmmm. I wonder what would happen if I stopped toying with you all and REALLY let you have it with my hot brains... :mrgreen:

 

[Rose]

I keep forgetting. Sometimes I'll remember a couple nights in a row and then the puppy will distract me and I'll forget.

 

[Bocefish]

New old topic for tomorrow. It really sucks we can only have one custom category.

 

[LiLredhairedgrl]

Some of you boys sure have some quick fingers...sheesh. While I may type around 70 wpm, I tend to clunk up the click quite often.... :mrgreen:

Wanna see who has the fastest fingerclicking skills? bahaha! :geek:

(I got 64 clicks, which I am assuming is pathetic based on comments...)

How can you guys read and answer the questions in 35-45 seconds? Hell, I can't read them that fast much less give the correct answers. :lol:

I know! Even if I instantly know the answers, there's no way I can do it that fast. Super mice? :lol:

Ditto! I read fast but not that fast. Lol. Competing with you boys makes me feel like a dum dum! :lol:

 

[Bocefish]

Well... I don't always read the entire question, more like scan it and sometimes that totally backfires. Normally, with timer scores in the 30s and low 40s almost all of the questions are short in length and/or obvious for the most part.

Here's a perfect example that screwed me yesterday:



Nowhere in the question does it mention it has to be in Africa, but the quiz it was taken from was called 'African Safari' which is mentioned above the question itself that I did NOT read.

A good accurate scroll mouse along with fast hand/eye coordination and experience helps.

That makes sense. The contest is as much "computer game" then as it is a trivia contest. Not objecting to that, just commenting. My scroll wheel is jacked; time for a new mouse.

 

[Bocefish]

Jup bitched and moaned about not being as fast for weeks, lolz. Now he gets the occasional timer score in the 30's too. He's the one who you should ask about the drastic change in his times.

 

[morment]

This is what I do.

Plus there seems to be a lot of repeat questions, or 99.99% of the time if the answer "all of these" is available it's the correct choice, that cuts down a bit on time.

 

[Bocefish]

Yikes! 4 peeps in the 30s so far today.

Genetically mutated mice?

 

[LiLredhairedgrl]

Ok today's quiz made my brain hurt. If anyone gets all 10 right today I will be very impressed and may have to open bobs for this mad genius.

 

[Bocefish]

Congrats Inkydoo for winning April! :dance:

We might have to give you a 2 game handicap at this rate.

 

[Rose]

I'm surprised I got all 10 right today. :dance:

Thanks. I've got lots of RL shit going on this month, so I probably won't play as often.

 

[LiLredhairedgrl]

That is no excuse, who cares about the real world when there is TRIVIA bb?????
