I wish you'd left it under the flower-pot as usual - I should have obeyed my usual rule that if "all of these" is an option, it's usually right.
Mind you, third place with 9/10 in 78 seconds isn't bad going.

I know the quiz site is US based but do we really have to get so many questions about bloody Disney and the like?
I've never like the long animated films produced by the company and my children in their turn moaned like mad if taken to see one as a 'treat'.
Thank G*d for the guessometer.

No doubt it's been said many times before, but the harder questions are actually easier than the very easy questions, because the very easy questions assume knowledge of USA popular culture, and the harder ones don't.
There, got that off my chest, now I can go on holiday and happily miss most of the May quiz.

For some reason it didn't record my answer for question 5 - I'm sure I clicked on it (and got it right).
At least the Guessometer led me to the right answer to the film question ...

Two things:
1. It always helps to read the question properly; and
2. an internet supplu outage can seriously affect the time you record!
...and no, I did not google the answers - if I had I'd have got them all right!
