I just don't understand the point of cheating on something like this. It isn't like you get the big prize if you win. It doesn't prove you know more...just that you are a cheater. It's not like we all don't notice.

I just don't get it.

8/10, 53 seconds

Some were just straight guesses though - I guess half of everything is luck?

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.

I don't find it surprising that you figured it out, based on the reference to comments others have made.

However, I find it surprising that you knew the answers to some of those questions today, got 10 out of 10, and in a very short amount of time...
oddly...

You have the same IP address as jmayer43 who also played today.

Hmmmmm...

So, a little more checking...
WOW! Imagine that! When you posted on ATOT 4 days ago, you had the same IP address at that time as well! 3 days ago too!

Static IP address, and the same IP address as someone else who played today? :confused: How can this be??

Not denying any kind of chicanery, but one possible explanation is he/she is on a network that requires a proxy server.

On the other hand, it is rather suspicious when someone gets all of the answers right in an unreasonably short time pretty often.

After seeing today's results, I'm prepared to declare gingerstewart55 the prohibitive favorite to win in perpetuity. To get all of today's questions right is amazing. Tough, tough questions today. I know a lot of trivia, but wow.
