Our own Trivia competition.

Good point. I'll put some spoiler tags around the part of Moonbear's post giving away the answer in case she doesn't notice this. (Hopefully she won't mind!)

I am pretty disappointed in the History category, that will be changed for next week. Perhaps another Sci/tech day?

I will be experimenting with different question categories as we go. Some of them do not have a lot of questions so you get a pretty high rate of repeats.

I tend to like harder questions to make it less of a race and more knowledge based. I the other quiz I participate in there are days when you have to finish is less then 60s to get in the top 10!

Enjoy.

I think I'm going to take a few days off. Maybe cool down a bit. Let the others catch up and all. I need to lie down.

Seems like every time I play, I lose standing. Even though today I got 9/10...

Tomorrow's theme - World: Europe.

Uh-oh, us North Americans better hunker down!

Integral

Notice that the number of points awarded the top player corresponds to the number of players that day. The more people that play, the more points you get. I am hoping to get some more people involved.

Do you think it would help to unsticky the thread to let it float in the active theads?

Moonbear

I think I'd completely forget this thread if it was not stickied. Not that I remember with it sticked either.

Sorry about the spoiler earlier. Grumpy about today's bio questions though (they sure do seem heavily weighted toward bio, don't they?) I lost time staring at one question because none of the answers was really right. I guessed right which one the writer thought was the right answer, but sometimes knowing too much doesn't help with questions like these.

Moonbear

I played this type of quiz with another group, and that was always the problem there too. I can't even get in the 60s if I click randomly without reading the question! I don't know how people can scroll and click so fast.

Integral

I simply do not understand how you can finish one of these in less then 40s. In my other quiz the top 6 10s were under 40s!

I am thinking part of it is just having seen most of the questions before. It is surprising how many repeats there are.

lisab

Definately keep it stickied.

Chi Meson

Two words:

Sock puppet.

tribdog

Something's screwed up with today's game. it says I've already played. It is carrying over the 9 people who played yesterday.

neutrino

Yes. Same here. However, when I created a new account, I was able to open today's (World Europe) quiz.

lisab

Something's not right with the site, I think. It froze up on me.
