I completed the quiz but when I went to check out the cursed nightly maintenance note showed up. ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif) It will be thousand seconds today, alas - if not more.

Perhaps my slow times are because I am such a deeply thoughtful character.
No?
Okay, it was worth a try.

If you look at the rankings, three people are fighting to be in the top five and we all have 311 points. Not sure if I've done enough today. Mind you, Star in 7th place with 301 is close as well.

I think we've had it before and I guessed right then, too - it is rather poorly worded, as questions go.

I remember when we had that question once before. Unfortunately I didn't remember the answer. I probably gave the same wrong answer then, too.

I had a lucky guess with question 1, and a better-than-average-for-Piglet time of 45 seconds, which very nearly propelled me into the top ten.
"Average" is my comfort zone ... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

It's not often I agree with the quizmasters about the term "very easy", but as everyone so far has 10/10 maybe they're right for once.
46 seconds didn't give me much in the way of vertical lift though ... ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

My problem wasn't clicking Submit; my computer froze and went into "Not Responding" mode just as I clicked Play today's quiz and then counted the time it took for me to close the quiz window and open it again.
