I only had to use the Guessometer once, but as I'm working on a cursèd lap-top, the speedometer was of no use whatsoever.

Don't use any geographical knowledge today: if you do it 4-1 you'll get it "wrong" (actually not so but wrong as decided by compiler of quiz). ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif)

I really shouldn't try and do the quiz on a laptop - it moved my answer from right to wrong on one of the questions.

We finally get the mouse to work on the borrowed laptop, and we get a question on some 'Murcan TV show I've never watched.

And I managed to scrape into the top 10, despite not playing from the 18th until the 30th - where would I have been if I had?
Not much cop today though - let down by my abysmal lack of knowledge about American sport and the teams that play it.
Do I give a stuff? Not really ... ![[Devil]](graemlins/devil.gif)
