I'm impressed, peter - how on Earth did you get the one about the Rhode Island Red traversing the M6 right?

I see we have a new shark in the waters today - anyone care to own up to the 'desperate2' moniker?
I apologise, in advance.

Nope - sorry, peter. Hopelessly lost on that one.  :-\

Desperate is me.

I love to experiment and I noticed that even though I had scored more points than Zesty, he was on the same score for the day.

I therefore created a new contestant for the day, deliberately came last and the addition of that contestant gave me the point above Zesty. Weird, eh?

In the interests of fair play I then took part in the next day's quiz as "desperate" and won, therefore giving myself no points as "Malky" which I think evens things up.

I'm now back to being Malky again.

Just thought I'd let you know

Yeah the points thing is weird. Because we have so few players, there can be a huge difference in the scores for 1st and 2nd and the same points are awarded. I assume the fact it says top 50 scores of the day, they're expecting less of a score gap between the top two, but I agree that the winner should always score more than everybody else.

Malc, I'm tempted to call you a big fat cheat, but by doing your Desperate2 thing on day one, you only gained a single point of an advantage. By not playing as Malky, on day 2, you cost yourself 4-6 points. So rather than condemn you for cheating, I applaud your curiosity and your scientific approach to you experiment  :)

Just on your knees is it?

A time-out on Day 2 already - it's not looking good for this month. Call off the spooks, McGookin!
