I got them all (thanks little guessometer!) but facebook messages and email bells startled me!
Brand new page, same old quiz.

It's nice to be second, when that makes you first for a while. (Not for long, mind, seeing as I was really slow for so easy a quiz - just too sleepy to focus!)

10/10 in 33 seconds - my best performance by a country mile - and I'm still only in 12th place.

Dear Smudgie,
When you come across a question where you know so little about the subject that any of the four answers could be correct and it's down to pure guesswork, don't spend time reading the question over and over again in the vain hope that the correct answer will become apparent. Just get on an guess!
The End.

A dismal performance puts me in last place, deservedly - I'm surprised I got as many as 8/10, it was mostly pure guesswork!

I had that one narrowed down to two, and guessed the right one.

The guessometer did really well, except for the ******* 'Murcan sport question.
Mind you, 12th place with 9/10 in 94 seconds isn't bad ...

I am a failure.
A dismal failure.
Shall I clean the bathroom, I asked myself, or do the quiz?
Should have done the bathroom.
I'd have had a nice shiny bathroom that reflected my beauty instead of the indignity of a score that relfected my stupidity (honestly, Smudgie, how could you get that one wrong???) and a time that reflected my poor aim (I accidentally hit the bookmark at the top of the page and found myself trying to answer my emails instead of the quiz question I was aiming for!)
I am going to clean the bathroom now. Farewell, cruel world.

Thanks to the guessometer, which worked beautifully, but not to the speedometer, which didn't.
It's not so much that I was slow (49 seconds isn't bad for a piglet), but that too many people were faster.
