Who'd be scared of you two?

americantrotter · Post by **americantrotter** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 8:22 pm

No one in their right mind. It's called a joke.

well, just to make you happy I tried again after a long absence. One of the questions (general trivia) is what is two plus two. I wasted a lot of time looking for a trap. As a result Sluffy beat me by five seconds and now I will be depressed for some considerable time. Thanks a lot, AT!

LOL Come back to the game Monty. Play for wins like I do.

Don't worry too much Monty - you can get your revenge tomorrow!

(I actually know now how competitors can get ten questions correct in well under sub 30 second times - but as you will see from my times, I still play the quiz the old fashioned way!).

You can cheat at this game? Good Lord! I doubt I'll be there tomorrow so I'll hand over the 2008 championship to you now!

Well I'm not sure if some would call it cheating - more 'learning from experience' elsewhere - and then applying it to 'our' quiz.

There are undoubtedly some clever people who play the quiz without the need to 'be creative'.

At the end of the day it is only a bit of fun - and when you get to my age I'm just happy that I can still read the questions without having to put on my spec's and that the old grey matter still seems to be working (most of the time anyway!).

I can get ten in thirty seconds by just picking out a few key words from each question - I do slip out by missing words like 'not' occassionally
Sometimes I've had the question before
Another trick is invariably if 'all of these' is a possible answer, that is the right one - if I see that I click it without even reading the question

Yeah several people play multiple quizzes, but that doesnt stop me from winning.

Edit: That is me being cocky.

I signed up today. Didn't realise the scoring arrangements/the fact it was timed. It's a good idea though, will play in future.

americantrotter · Post by **americantrotter** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 1:48 pm

I totally screwed up today. Glad to see more people playing.

Errr I just worked out that time counts too

keveh · Post by **keveh** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 11:31 pm

I forgot it was timed, started looking over the questions instead of just answering them!

americantrotter · Post by **americantrotter** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 2:15 pm

Only second so far. I seem to blow hot and cold.
