nope, that was easy =)

Agreed, I actually took my Sister and Niece on a "Haunted Tour" of Chicago just a few months ago. That was where I learned that useless piece of information :)

I didn't actually KNOW that answer...but really...it's the only one that made any sense IMO.

Haha, that would be embarassing if you scored really low. There should be a timer or something to let you know that it's starting. I could have easily been #1. Oh well.

Edit - Are we in a separate group?

I didn't know there was a timer either...and that influenced your score. :( Now i know...and knowing is half the battle!

lmao, my first comment after the first day of tournament play at work: "Finally! A use for all my useless knowledge."

Time for the evening people... :)

Wow, 26 people so far and only 7 people missed a question (including me.) Tomorrow should be harder :)

No you won't. Tomorrow, you'll just have to answer much more quickly, without consulting the Google gods for verification :p ;)

I didn't cheat, I got a lucky guess on the Chicago question though. Someone was talking to me on AIM.

But tomorrow the questions will be much harder and I'll get them all wrong and cry.

Yeah, it needs to be a lot more difficult. Time is too big a factor when everyone gets everything right. 16 people got every one right in under a minute, but #1 got 5 times as many points as #16.

Most of the cheaters are pretty obvious...

Farang
cheater123
Jesus
Zeus
God
bob
GagHalfrunt
SKrinsky

Deleted them. If it continues to be a problem, I can increase the anti-cheating measures... seriously though, what kind of a loser gets off on cheating on something like this??

They're ruining the fun for everyone. Also, my screen says the new game starts at 1AM EST. (In one hour).

Yup, I just tried to play and see it's a bit later.

See the post above: multiple cheaters were removed. I'm sure there's always a way to cheat.
