It loaded for me but I only got 9/10 - and a lousy time from spending too long reading the questions.

My best friend used to date a Franco-American lady born on that day and my dad fought in that war, so I could never forget it.
I like the harder quizzes: I generally do well on them and I am solidly in third at the moment.

Two I should have known but didn't. Only one I feel no shame whatsoever for not knowing. But 7/10 - shameful! Even the Weasel beat me.

The trouble with these very easy quizzes is that I waste ages re-reading the question because I can't believe they can be quite so inane! ![[Biased]](wink.gif) Seriously, I'm not quite sure how I got such a slow time as I thought I was comparatively speedy (comparing it to usual, not to other people who are always faster with the trigger finger than I am). But I'm content. I'm not competitive. No, really, I'm not.

It's not every day that simply getting every question right, time be damned, gives you a finish in the top three.
Perhaps I should have googled a few of those questions after all . . .

Lucky guess achieved by not even reading the answers. Why should I care when their birthday is? They never send me a card!
Typical that the one day I whizz and have a meagre chance of getting in the top ten is the day I start the quiz going before picking the laptop up. I always forget it's against the clock from the moment you click play!

10/10 in 37 seconds may be my best performance ever, and got me into 10th place.
Only 11 seconds behind Antisocial Alto too ...
PS Don't worry, AA, I'm unlikely to manage a repeat performance for a while.
