I didn't use Google. I just took my time because the questions were so weird. LOL

Still came in at #5, though (thus far)

It keeps timing you if you accidently close the window?

I was skipping questions then go back to them at the end, it was taking a lot longer.

 

[mobobuff]

Bump.

 

[iamwiz82]

7/10 on the sports. No idea on the soccer questions.

 

[kranky]

Today's were very tough IMHO.

I wasn't going to do the sports one even though it was intermediate cause I don't follow sports, but figured "what the heck" so I did it anyway.

Pretty damn hard, I guessed on all except one (and it had to do with a video game, go figure haha). 3/10, boooo. Haha.

[SmoochyTX]

Whew! I was scared I'd be on the bottom today. I'll take my 5/10!

 

[DainBramaged]

I sucked.

 

[MixMasterTang]

I'm starting to get better, the first one I absolutely bombed and have gradually stepped up to a decent score.

 

[yankeesfan]

Cricket? Handball?

It sucks that I didn't get many questions about real sports.

 

[nakedfrog]

Well, I got 5/10... better than I expected, at least.
Lose the sports questions, DrPizza!

What I find interesting is that most here think everyone gets the same series of questions.....they don't. Perknose made a comment about Klink vs. Schultz being an answer, obviously that was a Hogan's Heroes reference to a question presented to Perknose. I never got such a question in my set......so, the questions change every run....not everyone sees the same questions.

We all DID get the same questions the first day. I noticed perknose's comment and wondered what the hell he was talking about though...

With the cheating that was rampant the first day, I set it to give different question sets. However, over the long run, everyone will end up with the same questions. Since the questions have been used hundreds of times before, they apparently keep track of the relative level of difficulty of each question. Hence, you can't really get "lucky" and get an easy quiz; but, I suppose, it's possible to get lucky and get a set of questions you know all the answers to.

I'll gladly change the categories for next week. I just threw those together and have been completely overwhelmed in my free time dealing with insurance, repairs, and finance departments concerning our van.

 

[imported_yovonbishop]

I know nothing about sports. At all.

 

[jagec]

WTF, who knows ANY of this crap? Get back to the useful trivia, like world history, science, and internet memes.

Oddball categories are good to throw in every now and then.
