I presume it won't let you take it again, Vult, or you'd be up there at the top with about 16 seconds. I think, since you haven't missed a day this month until this glitch occurred, that perhaps Diane and I (the only other ever-presents this month) should magnanimously consider missing tomorrow's quiz in order to restore the balance. Of course, it all hinges on whether Diane is a ruthless BP Quiz addict or not, determined to triumph at all costs (and if she won't do it, I'm b*ggered if I'm going to). What say you, Diane?
Fydo, you're not the first that's happened to (see earlier postings). I think the trick is to try to avoid taking the quiz until after around 11am-noon, UK time, since they seem to routinely perform maintenance at around 10am for about an hour, and if you start just as they are shutting up shop, your seconds will 'carry over'.
This is a serious business, Mince, and I remain to be convinced that you are not indeed postmanpat, aka sam. We're watching you!
