Not really, about 9. Was very strange.
Managed to play OK today, but had never heard of that expedition and guessed wrongly.

Woohoo - first (but probably not last) 10/10 of the day. Not a brilliant time, but it was definitely worth re-reading that question!

Chorister tries to imagine what a penguin doing a little celebratory dance would look like - no idea, but I bet it's rather cute.

I'm truly rubbish at the Old Testament.* Maybe I should listen more carefully to the First Lesson ...

If it makes you feel any better, piglet, the team in that question hasn't existed for over five years. Yes, I knew the answer they wanted, but seriously, to have a question that comically out-of-date still entering the rotation?

Thanks for the thought, AA, but if I'm honest, it wouldn't make any difference ...
Much better today: Lucky Guess Piglet got the film question right and whizzed into 6th place.

10/10 in 44 seconds has got to be one of my better scores - especially without the use of a mouse - but I'm sure I'll soon be blasted out of my position in first place. I just have to hope that I'm also blasted out of my position in last place.
May I just comment - isn't it quiet here without the Weasel?
