Oh, thank you Mr. spot ! That was very helpful. I'll have a go at that then.

Well I did it, but I got one wrong and was far too slow.

Note to self: have second cup of coffee before playing tomorrow.

Aha - you trivia like you post, then?

You cheeky rat-bag ! But I will accept your apology, thank you ! Sometimes, though, I find myself cracking up at some of your humour, so please carry on Mr. spot .............................

Apologies, but I'm just trying to cause certain threads to 'drop out of the bottom of the list' !

Are we sure we want to try September under this new regime? Now that we've tried it for four days? It does seem strange.

Anyway - pile in everyone, if we can get consistently more than four or five players we'll have more of a spread. Everyone now gets the same questions as each other, on a given day. I feel I lack an excuse now when I turn in the lowest score.

I don't see that happening very often.

Monday..........History easy

Player.............. Award Correct Seconds Score

1. spot............. + 5 pts..... 10!........... 49............ 951

2. brynmawr..... + 5 pts..... 10!.......... 63............ 937

3. LarsMac........ + 4 pts..... 10!.......... 74............ 926

4. Bruv............. + 4 pts..... 10!........... 80............ 920

5. Gill............... + 4 pts..... 10!........... 127.......... 873

Well at least I'm the strongest being able to carry all you lot !!!! Anyway, I'm entitled to be the slowest - being probably the oldest !!! By the way, where are all the ladies ?

I spent the entire month ineffectually playing catchup and failing miserably, I have been flattened.

Nobody finds a clean sweep of tens top to bottom even slightly disconcerting?

And the questions are the same for everybody ?

Yes turn it up a bit instead of easiest go up one step and see what happens.

They are.

I have bumped the level off the Easiest to the next one up. And I had no intermediate for Literature so I've ditched it entirely and put in the Ambiguous Pouch, or whatever they call it.

I liked the literature one & am generally good at it. So now it's 'Trivia for Dummies.' Thanks, I fit right in!

What sort of question is this ?

"Before the invention of pantyhose, what could one purchase in a plastic egg?"

A poorly constructed one, based on incomplete information.

Wouldn't have complained if I had it correct though.

I'm certain some of these questions are set by 12 year olds.

Ludicrous !!

Rushed things again and apart from the silly one, got two wrong that I shouldnt have.

A Vintage Kinder Surprise?

Should we really be discussing Today's quiz Today? It's a giveaway, methinks.

I still got it wrong. You could have given me the answer and I would have still got it wrong.

Only if you give away the correct answer.

Here's what I found funny. The question "Before the invention of pantyhose, what could one purchase in a plastic egg?" and the answer was putty, which was marketed as Silly Putty and you used the word Silly on your question in this thread. Ok, it was only funny to me............

Ah right. Yeah that's funny. Is silly putty what we would call plasticine, the stuff we had as kids to model funny heads and snakes and stuff ?

Also, where do the stockings come in. Did you buy those stuffed inside an egg ?

When Panty hose started making the market, there was a brand called "L'Eggs" that were packages in plastic eggs.



And Silly Putty is a silicon polymer based stuff that has rather strange properties.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silly_Putty

Was 'Silly Putty' ever called 'Nutty Putty' or is that just in my head?

I think it's what, in the U.K. was simply called "Slime".

The point of any quiz, surely is to answer as many question as you can. Answering 10 correct from 10 asked is as much as can be expected. While time is necessary to avoid cheating, It must be taken as secondary, of not irrelevant as far as points awarded is concerned.

It's ok. This is generally a rhetorical question. This is nothing we haven't been frustrated by in the past and this isn't about just ths last session. Larsmac lost a point the other day for being 1 second slower.

Someone needs a kick up the arse.

I'm not convinced, not if you have two login identities. One browser only has one cookie store and I think that equates to one login, however many tabs you have open to that webpage.

Well, I wasn't thinking of two sessions on the same trivia server. Though I guess you could have two logins to that sever. one for the forum Garden game, and another for another game sponsored by a different source.

That, I think, was Gill's position.

Well, in such a case, one can indeed open a second instance of Chrome, or whatever browser, and select the main page (Fun Trivia Quizzes - World's Largest Trivia and Quiz Site!) and log out of the Forum Garden user, and login with another user, and have both FG and another contest running concurrently.

Or as I do, just go to the main page with the same login and play other games. I participate in a lot of the other games beside FGTrivia.

Never picked up the knack of speed reading. I can actually scan the words pretty fast, but then I have to stop and think about what I just read.

A sentence, or a paragraph, same-same

I don't know how some can read it as fast as they do, let alone answer the questions.

Dear spot,

The previous monthly tournament for Forumgarden Trivia has ended and a new one starts today!

Go to Forumgarden Trivia - Daily Trivia Game to play now.

The top 5 scores from last month have been recorded in the Hall of Fame at Hall of Fame

Regards,

FunTrivia.com

You did say that you eased up on the difficulty, didn't you? Looks just as difficult to me as it always was.

I have noticed questions are being repeated now. And think it was this week question one and two answered each other

Bruv;1488634 wrote: I have noticed questions are being repeated now. And think it was this week question one and two answered each other


That happened last week too, on Sunday. The same two questions but they were a little further apart.

Still got em wrong.

#1 &#2, the same? Not on my quiz. They were on different parts of the world, had nothing to do with each other. Are we getting different questions then?

There's a spread of time, but I get repeated questions. Some I wish I remembered the right answer, some I don't need to.

I think that was referring back to the Sunday game. 1 and 2 were about the guy that climbed a tree
