No, not looking for sympathy... it's just that grumbling in this topic makes me feel marginally less stupid than grumbling aloud to myself. :)

I keep forgetting to play, but I console myself that if I multiply my points average by the days not played I would be....er... third.

You need to remember Malc. You're our last best hope of someone beating Calvin next month. :)

I think I've completely given up.

I'm not happy - it sucks not winning.

What sucks is the scoring system. As it stands right this minute, I have 10 questions right, Calvin has 9, yet we both have the same points!

As more contestants take part, the points system changes, but it's still annoying

Don't worry Malc; Now I've played, you have 10 questions right, Calvin has 9, and you deservedly have one more point than he does.

Of course, I also got 10 and am on the same points as he is, one less than you.

Grr.

I apologise, in advance.

How can you get 10/10 in 48 seconds.  I can just about read it in that time!!!

PostmanPat would have done it in 24 seconds.


If you try very hard to be quick, and don't need to stop to think about any of the answers, ~40-50 seconds is doable. Sadly, not knowing the answer immediately causes your brain to automatically re-read the options and have a quick think about it, which adds a surprisingly large number of seconds to your time. I only paused to think about a couple, and my time ended up nearly double Malc's time.

I'm going to try a new method whereby I just speed by, not even looking at the question, but just picking out whatever word seems most prominent, then hit the answer button most closely associated with that word without any consideration for accuracy.


Why don't you all try that too?

Don't listen to him. It's a ploy. He'll get you all to do it and then do it normally himself.
