I experienced a contrary streak.
Or, my somewhat bent sense of humor.
One or the other.

I shoulda listened to the Guessometer which was blinking a solid green line of lights and pointing. But, no, I knew better,

I could have sworn that I clicked on the right answer to the "stinger" question, but I mustn't have done.

that last question was definitely a case of "I can't say this is the right answer, but the rest are all WRONG answers"

I loaded a US history trivia quiz on my tablet to have something to do whilst - doing other things -. One of the questions this morning involved knowing the name of the person who invented the shopping cart.
This quiz is so much nicer. Thank you for all the work you put into giving us a few moments to amuse ourselves on a daily basis Jahlove.

I got the wrong actress. Not because I didn't know, but because someone came into the office when I was in mid-quiz and flummoxed me.

Talk about a meteoric rise - yesterday I was almost bottom of the heap and today (for now anyway) I'm at the top.
Isn't it nice when the speed-merchants get a question wrong?

10/10 in 47 seconds on a Sunday, which included remembering the answer to one of the questions I nearly always get wrong, and I'm not even in the top 10!

I think you're right, JJ - it hadn't seen that film either ...
More to the point, it didn't notice that I'd changed a right guess to a wrong one. I hate when that happens.

10/10 in 32 seconds is, I think, a personal best.
Sadly, it only got me into 5th place ...

I think you must have tired it out, JJ - it worked fine for me until question 10, and then it ran out of steam.
