is that cos you are obviously quite clever as you regulary score 9 or more and often come top?



even when i manage to score a, for me, remarkable 8 i dont even come 2nd let alone top..........gets a little boring when day after day there are subjects i have no chance of knowing the answers to

I just love to learn! If I can glean one new fact from each day's quiz, I figure I'm ahead. But it is frustrating to have questions which are impossible to know anything about unless you've either studied it or lived it.

There used to be another quiz there, was it a different level? I never could log onto it, maybe spot or Carla will remember.

I take issue with one of the sets of answers & its validity. I'm going to report it. Then I think I'd better read up on Islam.

I think KSnyder had a link in his siggy to another one, I could never log in to that one either

Plucking up courage to go in and do todays, Sundays are not good for me. Although I don't think I've had a good day for the week!! :wah: (Year more like;))

It died through lack of interest.

I doubt not that you are an adept in the science yourself, Mr. Darcy.

Seven seems to be a popular score today but you do appear to have fallen asleep somewhere in the middle of it :wah:

however, as the theme for today is history.......could someone tell me how the following questions be 'history'? :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl



You come home afer a long and boisterous party, looking the worse for wear. As you stagger off to bed, your dear mate says "Look what..."?..(the cats dragged in)

I just had a blue with bluey, fair dinkum, I thought he was true blue, but he's madder than a cut snake!' What have you just overheard? (Someone has had a fight with a friend)

I've just been robbed by a one armed bandit!' What's this Aussie talking about?(He just lost on the poker machines)

Green leafy vegetation, that can be grown indoors or out, and has a rather rainforesty look? (fern)

7/10. Incredible. One North American question and it was about Irish dancing! :wah: Fortunately I had seen Riverdance.

I go 9/10 just took to long as usual. :wah:

6/10.....3 guesses right :rolleyes:

5/10

Well, I am again the strongest competitor!............................ at the bottom, with all you lot above ! :yh_rotfl

It's like watching a shark prowling shallow waters off a swimming beach...

:yh_rotfl My competiveness has driven me all my life. I may not beat Chonsi or You on a regular basis, but will hover close to the top eventually..

I don't know how you can say the words. You're a child of Marshall McLuhan, Jefferson Airplane, Timothy Leary and The Summer of Love. We're making it happen, man, we're not tag-wrestling.

Amen brother..!!

I'm blaming my slowness on this mouse I use.

thats where you are going wrong........you dont get the same response from using a hamster..............and a gerbil is a definate no-no!

I have a... there might be a name for it but I'm failing to remember it... it's small and red and nestles between the G and H on the keyboard and it reacts to being pushed back and forth with a fingertip. It's certainly not a mouse.

How about some of your points?

And you don't need any more of an advantage anyhow.

So which one is faster? Evidently it's NOT my mouse!!

I have nothing, nada, zilch between my G & H. Maybe I had one, but if it had little red eyes I may have killed it. :wah:

:wah: Slow again got to stop doing them at 5am brain hasn't geared up yet..

8/10...would have been quicker but i got distracted by the election :wah:

rediculous questions today!!!!



The buildings of Jaipur city were painted this colour in 1876 for the visit of the Prince of Wales.

Most foreign visitors to Korea love "bulgogi." Where do they encounter bulgogi?

plus ones about criminal offences in phillopines, romanian national anthems and assaination attempts on US presidents :rolleyes:

:wah: OK I will google all this and see if I can get 1 right.

I bet Jaipur was painted bright yellow. That's the color it was when I visited anyway, it may well be from the 19th century.

Oh, we eat it every Christmas Party at the Tae Kwon Do studio, it is yummy. My brother cooks his on a hibachi still, it is very tasty.

Who was the last Guru, who gave us the Guru Granth Sahib?.....who?

The prophet Haggai comes on the scene in the second year of King Darius to encourage people to finish an uncompleted project. What was it he wanted the people to do?....who??

Who was not in Carthage jail when Joseph Smith was killed?.....who??????

Haggai, I fear, figures prominently in the politics of the modern Middle East. It was he who conveyed God's demand that the Jews rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. It wasn't a Good Idea.

beowulf;1308918 wrote: but did you know the answers?


;) I got a 10.

I think we should have 2 sets of questions each day. The regular one and one for those with less than super Mensa abilities. My ego would be less shattered that way.
