Mine weren't too bad today - only my lack of knowledge about the American version of Monopoly scuppered my chances...

Another disastrous round! Two complete guesses, both wrong.
What did Quickening restore to the Dwarfs?

Your answer: Whothefuckcares

The correct answer was Nevereardofit

Nevereardofit was the pride and joy of the Dwarves. Quickening gave it back to them so they could continue fighting.

I think these questions are developed by high school internet junkies, with a lot of time on their hands - they must all read the same books, play the same games and watch the same crappy tv shows. Hence 83% of players could answer that question. :twisted:

A US TV show that I'd never heard of and someone who died on it, someone who died at a Nascar race ( Nascar again ) & long medical words to do with the sense of smell. Other than them I'd have had a perfect 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of 2000 active tournaments, The Wanderer Daily Quiz was #68 in terms of popularity yesterday. :D

This is actually a really cool thing. We should do more of this type of stuff. Cheers to the original finder.

They seem to be getting more and more impossible for me. :|
From a book I'd never read:
What town do the forces of good end up in?
Your answer: Somewhere

The correct answer was Somewhere else.

The forces of evil end up in Las Vegas(seems proper).

Don't worry blurred I saved your embarrassment by getting the same score only slower. :oops: You were lucky though as I clicked a correct answer but in my haste it didn't register.

Assuming a librarian reads is like assuming a barman drinks.
I'll be in Las Vegas later this month (first time) and will keep my eye open for girls from Winnipeg.
