Me too - as a non-'Murcan non-parent, I think I can be forgiven for getting that one wrong.
Wait a minute - I clicked the right answer and then changed it to the wrong one ...

I do so agree, jj - 5 seconds minimum to load the quiz and the same again to load the results. Many days more than twice those.

My film guessing on the other hand was absolute rubbish, and my score wasn't helped by the slowness of my computer. Maybe I ought to start doing the quiz when I'm at w*rk ... ![[Devil]](graemlins/devil.gif)

How is it that, when some people guess, they inevitably get the answers correct and when other people guess, they inevitably get them wrong... and more to the point, why is it that I invariably seem to be in the latter group? You're not telling me you lot know the answers to all those question!!!

I so wish people would use the same login for Fun Trivia as they do for The Ship - then we can all see how badly they did!
I'm 3rd from bottom now.

Just the usual, Smudgie. When some people do well as a matter of chance, they say so, when others do so, the keep quiet. Maybe the latter like people to think they do well out of skill?

I was doing fine until the screen suddenly changed mid-quiz! And to add insult to injury, it changed to the Ship!!!
Still, a respectable time - just one which will be knocked into orbit once the speedy gang get on board.
