Well, I'm using a laptop, I suppose I only have to move my finger rather than moving a mouse any distance. Also it's pretty quick to move to the keyboard and back. But mostly it's just trying to be quick but also making sure you've read the question properly.

Didn't do very well today. At least, not compared to everyone else. Turns out I'm not very good at Canadian towns I've never heard of, or the World Cup 6 years before I was born.

You youngsters........!  ..0

I only knew the Canadian town because I have a daughter out there.

Thanks for stopping me from being at the bottom - that's usually waylander's job but I don't suppose he minds.

I use a laptop but I'm still quicker using my marble mouse than that thingy bit in the middle. I don't have to move the mouse because it's just a ball that you twiddle around.

Almost perfect grammar and spelling, Peter, and I still had to read it three times to make sense of it. How do you do that?

Anyway, congratulations on beating me by 8 seconds.  >:(

I apologise, in advance.

Nope - no idea what that means.

Apparently I took 219 seconds to do the quiz today.
Oh no, I didn't!
I timed myself roughly (ohyah!) with the stopwatch on my watch and I took a maximum of 74 seconds. All the rest of the time was spent waiting for the wee green bits at the bottom to move their backsides.
Not that it's bothering me, of course.
Are your bits green?

There's the answer to your problem; concentrate on the screen and NOT your bottom!

Long-time member here, Peter. I take it he's thrashing you all at the quiz.

Not the reason for my frustration, Roger. I had one of those costly time interruptions on my Interweb flux capacitor valve (you know), and instead of a sprint start to this month's quiz, someone nicked me trainers. Grrr!
I apologise, in advance.
