I reckon doing the quiz in a café using their wifi, instead of at home using a dongle, has cut approximately 10 seconds of my time. Can I demand a retroactive recount? ![[Biased]](wink.gif)

Even my new speedy dongle has occasional hiccoughs - the game loaded really quickly today but but when I pressed for the score it had to think for about 12 seconds before it responded!

Fourth place will do me nicely. I may be at the bottom of the 10/10s, but that's because I changed a right answer to a wrong one and back again, which took some time ...

Here's the secret: you do this enough times, you eventually won't have to read half the questions. Yes, I know the answers to half the lint questions without even seeing them.
