I may not have beaten many people today but I have beaten PeteC by a question and 50 seconds! One of those questions I get wrong in the same way every time - hopefully I will remember better next time.

I stuttered on the Man of the Year question, but then I remembered that it had come up before and I got it right. I also took too much time on another question: I should have been faster! One of the worst scores with all correct...
{corrected to note that I was not as slow as I thought}

Okay, wow. So much for me trying to beat Custard and get back into second . . .
That just . . . wow. I think that may be my worst performance ever. Good luck, everyone. This one's fun.

Guessed one wrong, changed one from correct to incorrect. I usually bank on Sundays to keep my score semi-respectable. I shall now have to go and snivel in a corner.

I changed one answer five times before settling on the wrong one. Needless to say, my first choice would have been correct. So as a result I have a lower score and a slower time. That'll teach me not to be indecisive... or will it?

I would have categorized today's as VERY easy. It is helpful sometimes to be middle-aged and knowledgeable about US films though... In fourth now: would have been better but I had to hit the 'submit' button three times!
