Poor little guessometer - it worked fine for me. It can't take the blame for me taking 73 seconds ...

Errm, no.
Few days late, but I am still SERIOUSLY pissed off about that one. It's one thing to give me a question I have no clue about. It's quite another to tell me that I should have a clue about it. Clearly, that person has no conception that the world extends beyond the boundaries of whatever little state/country they come from.

I learnt the answer by getting that wrong the first time, so I can't claim any great knowledge.
Now if only I could remember all my wrong answers about fillums and music...
Nah, other trivia's more interesting

Yeah, sorry, I realised after I posted that the quiz had actually ticked over to a new one and I was rather behind the times.
It happens in the middle of the day for me, so sometimes I do the quiz in the night and sometimes in the morning. Today, for example, I've done 2 quizzes after doing none yesterday.
Timezones. Gotta love 'em. [ 13. December 2012, 08:42: Message edited by: orfeo ]

All correct - I confess to Almighty God, and you, my brothers and sisters, that I owe it to pure luck, and the laziness of the Quiz constructor who repeated whole questions from just a few day ago.

I'm a bit confused - I thought all the players in the list were Shippies.
Not that it matters; I'm in eighth place (with a bit of help from Uncle P's guessometer), which suits me fine.
