12/10 ---- 10/10
12/11 ---- 9/10
12/17 ---- 6/10
12/20 ---- 3/10.... I'm on a downward spiral!

:Q I knew the answer to one. Another was obvious. Guessed on a lot. Got really lucky to get 7. Not a fan of the music category.

Wow. With all the threads: "<insert one of 50 names here> is the greatest guitar player evar", I'd have thought we would have a lot more music experts. Then again, I didn't expect "country" and "christian music" to be where half the questions came from. I'm actually proud to have only gotten 5 correct! Dixie Chicks? Shania Twain? How am I supposed to know?!!

Sorry about that category everyone. I'll have to change to a different category for next time. (I know absolutely no knowledge of what the questions are going to be like ahead of time... obviously.)

nah, not your fault man. I wouldn't think you'd know what questions are going to be ahead of time. Trial and error. :p Thanks for putting the time in on this though...even though i suck, it's fun to compete every day.

Ah, I say leave it alone. Who's to say that next week everybody doesn't do great in this category? It's the luck of the draw. It would be boring if every day was general trivia and science. Personally, I see nothing wrong with throwing in some other categories just to see how well-rounded everybody's knowledge is.

jmayer43 has to be the smartest person on ATOT. Only missed 2 questions out of the last 60. Dude, you need to get on a game show and turn that knowledge into some money.

You don't know what "osteo" refers to? The answer to that one stuck out like a sore thumb. I should have had 10/10 today, but was tricked by one of those questions; and tossed it up for a 50/50 on question 10. That I considered the other option was a blunder on that question.
