It is all Piglet's fault: she feeds the darn thing single malt! ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
But it was sober today, when it came to the talking pictures question - I had heard of none of these. ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)

And here we are again.

We've had that question before, and I remembered that the Guessometer had got it right last time.
Second place (so far), but only because Sharkshooter got here before me ...
eta: We both got 10/10 in 47 seconds, but he/she got +11 points and I got +10. We both got the same total points. How does that work?

One question I BLEW because I am incapable of reading. The other one had to do with fillum stars, only one of which I knew because someone once told me. Unfortunately, he wasn't in the fillum.

If it's any consolation I blew that one too, Uncle P. I think I may have seen the film in question once, but it obviously didn't make that much impression on me.

An appalling time, that's what comes of re-reading the question after answering it because I couldn't believe they thought this was "harder" quiz!
But at least I'm first for the moment.

I scrolled past one today. Not sure I would have gotten it right anyway (it was a film question), but would have appreciated the opportunity to guess.

Strange to log on this morning and find myself second out of 23 with a time of 73 seconds. Perhaps the quiz deserved its harder classification after all.

My heart is broken. I am bereft.
