A lot of the questions are repeats. If you play for a few months you'll eventually be able to answer most of them without reading.
ETA whoops here is the quiz link.

That's true to a certain extent, AA, but I've been doing the quiz for years and even when I know (or remember) the answers, my eye/brain/mouse co-ordination is still several leagues below yours.

Note to self: When guessing yet another movie question, do not pick the one answer you actually know to be incorrect. This is not called "guessing". This is called "stupidity". ![[brick wall]](graemlins/brick_wall.gif)

Same here. As soon as I saw that today's quiz was "easy" I knew there would be questions about films that I wouldn't be able to answer.

A good score but 100% pure luck. Chuffing business questions; I'll take film questions anyday. At least 10 seconds of my time was taken up gesturing at the screen.

A good guess, or possibly a hazy memory from the last time the question was in the quiz, gets me a 10/10.

Pride goeth etc. A lucky guess on the apocrypha kept me to 8 but I guessed badly on question 3 and hit the right button on the last question and submitted before checking it had ticked. A real rookie mistake

You should have used the Guessometer, Wodders - it worked for me. I'd heard of the singers, but took a gamble on which one it was.
Bit after my time, you understand (my time was c.1500-1694 and c.1977-1984).

The Guessometer let me down on the Wild West question (can't say I blame it really), but was excellent on bands I'd never heard of and the enfranchisement of ladies (even changed a wrong to a right on that one).
Sadly, the Speedometer wasn't much cop though ...
