Slowish, but thanks to the guessometer (really, who would actually know all of that?) all right.

Sixth place today, despite a brainfart on the part of the Guessometer - I'm assuming that nearly everyone else's grasp of certain parts* of the Old Testament is a as shaky as mine.
* I really ought to write that one down somewhere for the next time it comes up ... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
eta: if it hadn't been for that brainfart, I'd have been in first place. ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif)

An internet glitch meant that I completed the quiz then had to wait over 20 seconds for it to be scored thus a dreadful time today.

For Tuesday's quiz, I give thanks to the guessometer. There remained a question on which we were both silent. I am grateful that neither I nor it were able to supply the correct answer.

There were two factors which caused me to be upholding everybody else on the leader-board today:
(i) my computer having a meltdown just after I hit "play", giving me a time of 101 seconds; and
(ii) me making a complete b*ll*cks of two of the questions.
