Who the **** is Susan B. Anthony? And why did I change a right random guess about her middle name to a wrong one?

I reckon I was lucky to get into the top 10; most days I do the quiz either on our home computer (which is rather geriatric and for speed would make James May look like Lewis Hamilton), or on the tablet (which I haven't quite sussed how to move quickly on).
Oh and there was the little matter of forgetting to do the quiz at all on a couple of days ...

I knew it wasn't that one, because of the date of the movie, but that left 3 to guess from. And I got it wrong, too.

I got it wrong (jacket potato) because Wodders liked his with cauliflower, although Smudgie and I had a gorgeous one with broccoli at Painshill Park a few year back. We were so stuffed we had a bowl of soup for supper.
As for the movie, I think you have to be over 70. Just the thought of it gave me the shivers.

I hate the "really easy" ones that have such long questions with obvious answers that by the time you're picking your result you have to read the question again to make sure it's not a trick

Chose a right answer, moved to the next question, then thought about it and went back to click a wrong answer.

That's not a bad idea - I haven't seen any posts from Jahlove for ages. Are you still thinking of Fun Trivia, or did you have another quiz site in mind?
As to last month's standings, 7th place and no wins seems to be more-or-less my default setting.
