I'm just glad the questions aren't in joined up writing or I'd be even slower!
eta: Here is the link - I think I got it right this time.

Boom! 10/10 again! I wasn't expecting that, as I mostly relied on my guessometer. Not bottom of the class either - bottom of the 10s, but not bottom of t' class.
Time was 139 - but I gotta read the questions before I stand any chance of getting them right.

I suppose if I ever paid any attention to moving pictures, I might have a half-chance of getting in with a 10.
At least there weren't two or more questions on pitchers.

10/10 at the blazing speed of 52. Which is very quick, for me.
O PeteC, when piglet will let it go, could I have it for the GeoGuesser game? Piglet ' hogs' it so! ![[Biased]](wink.gif)

I looked under the geranium pot; nothing there but a slug. And I thought that the pig and swine people could sort of help each other out.

I'm sorry - it wasn't there when I looked today, and I consequently changed a right answer to a wrong one ...
PS Of course I'd help out if I could.

Thanks - I gave it a wee dram and it worked a treat - 10/10 in 49 seconds and fourth place is the best I've done since I can't remember when.
PS It's back under the flower-pot ...

No. Last time I used it was a deserted road on the wrong end of Australia. Guesso doesn't know squat about where roads are. ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)

No. Last time I used it was a deserted road on the wrong end of Australia ...
I tried it there and got the wrong end too. Must have been using it upside-down ...
It wasn't much use on the quiz today either - there were two questions that I always guess, and usually guess wrongly.

A leisurely amble to a 10/10. Suits me.
By the way.... I heard that you only use your Speedo-meter when you're at the beach.

ppffffft - I was handicapped by not reading the question properly and thus spending far too long re-reading the question. Each time I missed out the same word which actually gave the answer away. Off now to examine pictures of birds.
