Actually, Vult, before I played, you were on 5 points, and Jack was on 4 because of the way the scoring changes depending on how many play. By storming into the lead like I did  :P , I evened you both up to five points. It's okay - no need to thank me.

ACTUALLY, Tarq, when I looked, we were exactly the same.  :P

And now somebody else has played, so:

3. terrywogan.. 10/10, Time: 70 seconds, Score: 930, Award: +6pts
4. Jack........... 10/10, Time: 70 seconds, Score: 930, Award: +5pts

I can't believe I'm being penalised because I was busy in the morning. I'm going to write an angry letter to my MP.

I am on dial-up - it can take me anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds for the page to load. Can you write to your MP about that too?

That is why I never comment on these U Tube clips you all post as it would take me about 15 -to 20 minutes to download one. Just in case anyone was noticing an absense of my commentary.

It just goes to show that when we all guess we all get the same score.

I'm rubbish at geography, but my "If in doubt, guess Hawaii" approach worked pretty well today. I didn't know the philippines question, so that was a lucky guess. The rest were pretty easy though, I thought.

That's rather unfair, considering that I actually post on the boards.

Besides which, wasn't the theory that Postman Pat was just another player taking the quiz under a different name, thus knowing all the answers? I believe all the current players are accounted for on this forum, with no Unknown Mystery People?

It was NOT a criticism, it was the speed, Jack, speed.  I worked out that I waste a lot of time moving the cursor from the question to the side bar, dragging it down then back to the question, read the question, make my choice, back to the sidebar.......

Postman Pat disappeared before I could ask him/her, now you've stayed - tell me how you do it in 41 seconds!!!! What am I doing wrong - the fastest I've managed it was 70   :'(

I have a marble mouse - I just move the ball with middle and/or index finger, use my thumb and little finger for the 'clicking' thingy. It takes a lot less time than actually moving the whole mouse.
