Cheers, Pet. A very close-run race this time :D

You always seem to go on these incredible runs in the last week. 2 wins in the first 20-something days, then six (almost seven) wins on the bounce… :shock:

Congrats Sub. New month etc.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.

so did I 8)

I think the absolute quickest you could feasibly click on an answer and scroll then his the submit button would be 12-14 seconds.
But you need to be playing on a desktop and with a scroll-wheel mouse.

Can't comprehend how you can read and answer correctly 10 Q's in that space of time. Even 30 seconds is pushing it.

Sometimes on very familiar questions, even reading the first couple of words, you know the answer. Think my fastest is 18 seconds. Also easy to fuck up if trying to go too fast.

The ones that come up time and again are the Buddhist enlightenment one, the maths ones (where you multiply by 0; and the 60% blue marbles one), Moses having to part the sea etc - as Carlos says, once you've read the first couple of words, you don't muck about and on to the next one.

The ones that take the longest for me are the FunTrivia ones ("You've submitted a quiz question and it's rejected. What is the best response?") - there are a few like that and you have to read the whole thing, which takes ages.

Had a new Fun Trivia one for me just now. Bastard took about 20 seconds to read and all the answers. Got it right but fucked time.

Following posts in quiz chat about maybe a change of subjects:
Carlos_J: Geog is always hard. Might change one of the fun Trivia Mix
Carlos_J: days for another genral knowledge one soon, will post.
Carlos_J: about it if go for it, will be end of a month though.
Holden_Mcgroyne: any chance of a sport or music day Carlos ?
This is what we currently have:

These are all the options:

I'll go with the majority to change or stick, but think we have too many 'fun trivia mix' and the questions seem to repeat more. Thoughts? And we won;t do anything till the start of a new month. The only thing with Sports or Music as Holden suggests is how Yank orientated they are. Suppose we can try.

Music might work?

Sports would mean even more college questions, which are pure guesswork unless you've seen it before.
