Here is the link.
I should have come here to read the responses first.
So who knew that they were talking about quiz ratings, rather than general.

I doubt if it would have helped; I changed a right guess to a wrong one, which is never helpful.

One question so badly written that I spent half the time re-reading it to make sure I was answering the right question. ![[brick wall]](graemlins/brick_wall.gif)
It must be that, because the alternative is that I'm getting old and easily distracted.

Do I feel bad about mis-guessing a question about a 'Murcan TV show that I've never watched? No.
Do I feel cross that it buggered my score? Bloody right I do!
PS Pearlie, if you're nasty to the Guessometer, I shan't tell you which flowerpot it's under.

Indeed it is, but the Speedometer isn't. Especially when one's computer sits there doing bugger-all for a few seconds after one clicks "play".

I have accumulated 126 FunTrivia bucks now - which means I can start looking for my next car to add to my collection. I'm quite liking this one, as I'm not all that good at this and it is a little cheaper than my last aquisition, a convertible.

Phooey, after my week of peace, my son comes home from his trip to Scotland, accompanied by my brother, and both decide deliberately to distract me repeatedly while I'm trying to do the quiz. Seemed to find it amusing. Ratbags.

BOOM!! 10/10 today, and not even the slowest time (for once). Not bad considering at least two of them were guesses - not even educated guesses, just wild shots in the dark, because they seemed to "sound right."
Now I can look forward to getting my Big Blue Car quicker than I was expecting! :-)

I ought to get to the Guessometer before it's had its liquid reward; one good guess and one duff one today.
eta: I'll only be calling in sporadically over the next three weeks as I'm going on holiday and may not always be near a functioning computer.
