BLAST! I beat you by 1 second today! Very unlikely that I can catch up now. :( I need a lot of people to take this quiz, and I need to stay in the top 10.

Edit: One point away! But if I drop out of the top 10 I'm screwed.

Edit: Blast! Back down to a 1 point lead.

First player of the month to knock someone out of first place. :p

yeah, I did pretty bad for easy level.

I thought the questions were relatively difficult for an "easy" quiz. Some obscure stuff. I was surprised to get 9...i would have figured 6 or 7.

I like that there's more variety in the categories now, but why are there still two of Science and Technology? Why not something new for one of those?

I changed the categories last Thursday, but didn't want to change the Thursday questions in the middle of the day. Thursday is no longer sci & technology.

(Weird that people on these forums would shy away from science and technology. Then again, with all the people STILL insisting the plane won't take off, it's not too much of a surprise. :p )

IMO the s&t category really doesn't have much to do with technology. Usually the questions revolve around medical terms or DNA/genetics type stuff.

mugs, the reason i said it was the logical answer, is because it was the only one that seemed at all "scientific". The rest sounded ridiculous IMO. It was the logical choice based on that. When the categories are easy, the most logical answer is often times the right one.

If you look up the correct answer on Wikipedia, you'll see that it's also known as one of the other answers. ;) Not a great question. C'est la vie.

Then i agree, poor question. There are a lot of those, honestly (not specifically in our game, but on Funtrivia as a whole). I guessed and got it right. No need for me to look anything up after that.

Ah well. day's over anyway.
