Who in the hell, other than a Finn, would know the President of Finland in 2000?

That's getting a bit obscure...

I actually got this one right because several years ago, Conan O'Brien had a running joke on his show about the presidential elections in Finland, turns out that he looked very much like one of the candidates (a woman) -- the reddish hair, facial features, etc. So I remembered her name from that.

Still doesn't belong in a geography category.

HISTORY!

 

[rainman748]

How about a general pop culture category?

 

[imported_yovonbishop]

How about a math category?

Although, times would probably be ridiculous and reduce scores tremendously... hm. I guess I'll go with rainman and say a general pop culture category.

 

[SearchMaster]

Dang, I zipped through as fast as I could (36 seconds). Missed the one about the moon (guessed wrong).

IMO there is enough math in the Sci and Tech category.

I agree with the others for some History...

But be forewarned, i've played on the Funtrivia site for a while and the history category is almost as wide open as the geography one. But, i'd rather have history than two sci and tech's....

 

[oogabooga]

i dunno, i keep forgetting to play so to fix this i added it to my bookmark toolbar. hopefully that'll make me play more than 3 times in a month ><

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Fair enough. My only strong subject is math, hence my suggestion

LOL...math is my weakest subject...hence my denial of your suggestion.

 

[DrPizza]

Some of the math questions are decent - they don't require computations. However, some of the questions, such as a few calculus questions, would seriously cramp anyone's ability to finish the quiz in less than 80 seconds. In fact, since it's 100 points for a correct answer, minus your time, people would get a higher score on a few of those quizzes if they got lucky and guessed 3 or 4 correct.

 

[DrPizza]

I think it's time for a speed round!

(i.e. I hope I'm picking an easy category for Wednesday!)

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Please explain this speed round, considering how much time you take on this test is already a factor on your ranking.

 

[DrPizza]

Speed round = the questions are really easy (at least they should be). I think it was "general knowledge, easier" when I picked it.

 

[pyonir]

Not the speed round...but a lot of quick 10's.

 

[pyonir]

Couple hours left.

Makes sense, we all have our weaknesses:beer:

 

[DrPizza]

And with 2 days left, it's DrPizza and Mugs tied for 3rd... DrPizza edges ahead by 3 points with 1 day left to go... Who's going to get 3rd??
