Beau Peep trivia challenge

[Mince]

How is that "trying not to deviate too much from my wording"?

[Malc]

Bil, the scoring system is a bit of a mystery, it's designed for a bigger pool of contestants, as the more players, the more sensible the points spread. I think.

My excuse for not finishing the quiz in 20 seconds is that I use a Wacom pen and it's not as fast as a mouse.

As for Mikey, is he Zesty or is Calvin the old Zesty?
If none of these, where Zesty?

I was trying to be a bit more subtle...

[Jack]

26 seconds today...

Not to be a spoilsport, but that's just taking the piss.

It's also cheating, Jack. As admin, I have access to the IP addresses of all contestants. I tried to give 'Mikey' the opportunity to explain this voluntarily. Now I'm giving him one more chance to let us in on his little joke, or I'll do it for him.

[Jack]

I'm just upset because even if I knew the questions and answers beforehand, I still reckon it'd take me 40 seconds. Maybe 38. 36 tops. 

If I even knew the technique being used just to click through the answers so quickly, I reckon I'd save a bit of time.

(By the way Tarks, do you only have the recent IP addresses? Or can you delve back into the quiz history to find out about the mysterious Postman Pat?  )

It's Diane isn't it!? I knew it! I never trusted that no-good... oh, wait... you said "him"?

*ahem*

I knew it wasn't Diane. Salt of the earth, that woman. None better, that's what I always said...

[Diane CBPFC]

For the record: I didn't get one wrong today, I just missed the whole question - I may have got it wrong if I had seen it but I didn't, I scrolled by so fast trying to pick up speed and missed it.

[Calvin]

I do that fairly regularly, scrolling right by a question.

[Jack]

I do that fairly regularly, scrolling right by a question.

Define "fairly regularly", seeing as how you always seem to get 10/10 

Or are you saying you accidentally scroll past a question, scroll back to it, then answer it... and after wasting all that time, still manage to beat us all the time. Because that's just rubbing it in...

(not that I'm at all jealous or bitter)









(...git.)

[Roger Kettle]

I'm really glad I've never even looked at this quiz.

[Jack]

I'm really glad I've never even looked at this quiz.

So are we. You'd only embarrass us with your constant winning. It's very gracious of you to give the rest of us a chance. I thank you.

[Roger Kettle]

Um...yes...that's the reason.

[Mince]

So are we. You'd only embarrass us with your constant winning.

SPELLING: whining

I can indeed, Jack, but I have to tell you that Postman Pat's IP address does not match any IP address belonging to those currently listed as belonging to Beau Peep board members. It does however match perfectly with the former quiz player known as Sam (presumably Fireman Sam?), who also used to achieve phenomenally fast perfect scores. However, I do not recall Postman Pat and Sam playing the quiz at the same time, so that could just have been a case of having to reregister for some reason. The current Mikey situation is a little different.

Mikey?
