...and here's the link again, folks.
I was slow today as well, but then I always am. However I got my 10/10 displaying my usual, erm, genius[?]...
...or possibly just my vastly unreliable ability to sometimes remember trivia from the last time they asked the question.

The Guessometer was better at the Apocrypha than it was at the ordinary bits today.
I'm with Wodders and Smudgie - there are several Biblical questions that I regularly get wrong, and we had two of them today.

Some lucky guesses there today and not only am I first I am also not the first to play, which is an added bonus - doubtless I'll be well down the list by tomorrow.

You must have used up its batteries - was that on question 10 by any chance? I picked one of two biblical-sounding numbers and they were both wrong ...

In Q10 I thought General Electric was a UK corporation - but it's the only one that seemed to fit, so I chose it... and... BOOM! 10/10, well done me!
The time's not very respectable, but again the tortoise beats the hare. You want proof? Well, just take a look at my new shiny classic automobile which I was able to purchase with 600 FunTrivia bucks!
I'm browsing for my next classic now - I'm becoming like Chris Evans you know...

Well on the way to an ok 10/10 and then out of nowhere - a big red cross, for no answer. I'm clearly not tapping this touchpad hard enough; I aspire to a mouse one day, purely to get a better ranking in this quiz.

You'd have thought after 10 years of being subjected to North American television and its ubiquitous adverts, I'd have got question 10 right.
I didn't though.

Why do I bother reading the supposed difficulty of the quiz when it bears absolutely no relation to the difficulty as perceived by me? Today's I would have classed as Very Easy but then I knew the answers, so I would, wouldn't I?

Good grief I gt up and log on early in the morning to find that everybody so far has got 10/10! That doesn't happen often.
I must say that I consider doing the quiz in a mere 18 seconds is somewhat indecent!
