I think 15-16 seconds is about the quickest it would be physically possible to do it.
The trick is not to read all the questions and answers! The same ones come up so often, you can't hang about (eg the Buddhism/nirvana one, the if 3x=60 how much is x? etc), so you can often just look at the first couple of words then click the answer.

I've done 18/19 secs before, once or twice, but I'd struggle to go quicker than that.
There was a guy called 'indianwells' who kept getting 10 in 14 seconds, and that was definitely dodgy.

I was doing 10 for 13 or 14 that time I spotted the anamoly and all the right answers were the first one on the list :lol:


But yes.....I look at the answers before the questions.

And apart from those ones you mention, any list with the Yankees is invariably the right answer and I have yet to see J.K.Rowling in a list where she was not the right answer.

Plus your old favourite....you don’t need to read the question if “Sodomites” in among the answers :)
Alex Young, Howard Kendall, Andy King, Timmy Cahill, Dixie Dean and Mike Parry.....we'll never see the likes of them again.

When one of the answers is "all of the above"/"all of the other 3" that's always the correct answer.

Yep, deffo.

"All of these"

The fiddly ones are the ones about the quiz itself: "You've submitted a question..." etc but they're so bloody long-winded you have to read the whole question and the whole of four answers - always takes 5-10 secs.

Yep, they are bastards. Think my record is 18 seconds. Got to get 10 straightforward ones to get near 20 seconds and no quiz ones or US obscure sport.

Well done to Shabbs on a solid third place . My luck in correctly guessing the obscure Yank sporting questions petered out quickly and I got reeled in.

Yep. Might have been second otherwise. That one point could be vital later. :)

Those ones are a bitch, because you have to read each one carefully.
They are pointless questions, they really are.
