Your world is in excellent order, AA number one- I couldn't beat you today! I got the pop music question wrong.
Now if I ever managed to beat you in Mafia... THEN the world would be seriously out of order.

I'm usually pretty rubbish at Yank stuff too, RW, but Lucky Guess Piglet was on sparkling form today.
Not fast, but definitely sparkling. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

ah, perhaps the best tactic is not to watch as the quiz screen rolls onto the page and sit staring blankly into space... oops. Lesson learned is: 1st have cup of tea, then do quiz.

A quiz about Europe would help me. Saying that, I got two wrong with the biblical questions.

On one of the (many) questions I got wrong, the message with the answer said "Congratulations! You can not leave with less than {$1,000.} (No, I did not make up any of these names.)"
That's a very generous offer considering I got it wrong. Where do I claim my dosh?

Holy macaroni, I've won one.
Although, my time was actually exactly the same as AA's, so I'm not sure how that works... do you get extra credit for playing earlier? Or do they time it to fractions of a second? Either way, honourable draw, AA (but I'll take what I can get!)

After our semi-final win, and having got 10/10, I'll have a bottle of getthefuckin.
Still in mid-table, though, but considering that most of the questions were Yank ones, I'm happy with myself.

You get extra credit for playing earlier, I think.
Also, I'll take being confused for AA if it makes me feel better about my abysmal time.

I think I had a SNAFU (World War II shorthand, according to my late father who never cursed, for Situation Normal All Fouled Up) when I accidentally hit the back button and lost well over 30 seconds. Methinks I do better on the hard quizzes than on the ridiculously easy....
