Ah, yes, piglet! I remember the days of 'one more snowflake'. No, now, really one more. I mean it!
Two hours later, I would drag myself away from the computer. ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif)
It's almost time to do it again. In the meantime, I can go slow and guess answers here! (And remind Ariston that I'm a very old lady, so there!)

Was that the one about minor Old Testament ladies, WW? If it's any comfort (probably not) I got it wrong too.

I use memory tricks. I always recalled the US cartoon Hagar the Horrible which I followed with some amusement in my younger days.

10 seconds faster than yesterday but it patently will not be fast enough to guarantee anything approaching a podium finish.

Geez, 10 of 10 in a Harder quiz. Brains plus a lucky guess.
Happily I got that sneaky Bible question (and it wasn''t even Sunday!!) I remembered a spiritual song from Camp*.
And I came in under 100 seconds!
My cup runneth over!
*Which is to say, that the words and the tune escape me, but the gist supplied the answer.

I am stunned to get as many correct as I did.
What a very odd set of questions. I can only assume that those who got them all correct spend their lives reading books of trivia and the National Enquirer.
