Had to re-register changing my name ever so slightly. Now I remember why I left this game! Don't know how long I'll last this time around!

So I can log the questions as Bruvver, come back as Bruv and get 100%?

The red arrow, I think, Zap

Thanks Theia but try as I might I don't see a red arrow.

No, the site's not that daft

To be fair, Friday (General Knowledge) and Saturday (World Trivia) are the poorest days of the week.

Well, at least I'm being consistent in my scores...

Thanks Bryn!

I changed my mind on one and missed 2 on US politicians' obscure facts.

Same IP address though. It would recognise that and present a different set of questions with the same average level of difficulty

So we don't all get the same questions ?

That's not fair.

I could use a proxy...........or summat. Seems a lot of hard work though, don't think I shall bother.

Purely to get around the problems you're trying to raise.

The questions are graded according to the percentage of correct answers over time and the alternative question sets are at the same level of difficulty. Over the month any discrepancies average themselves out

BTW, it would be easier to go down to the local internet cafe

I changed my mind on two from right to wrong,

Oops. I've already forgotten about it. That didn't take long!

ZAP;1439758 wrote: I changed my mind on two from right to wrong,


Go with your first answer - not only is it more likely to be right but it's far quicker than dithering

That's good advice. Can I re-take the quiz? :sneaky:

Bryn Mawr;1439765 wrote: Go with your first answer - not only is it more likely to be right but it's far quicker than dithering


Quite agree. I've been caught out more than once changing my mind

Well. Bravo everyone, that was a very different month with a dozen players showing up. I quite like it that eleven of those twelve had a top score at least once, too. I'm not sure where Bryn got to this weekend, if he'd played those two days he'd quite likely have had the top monthly score.

It's an annoying misassemblage of questions, they're often off topic and they're invariably trivial!

I am waiting for the "What does my sister like for breakfast"?.......................Im sure some come very close to that sort of thing.

7. What would be the aorist of a stem that ends in a labial stop, like pi, beta, or phi? What is the correct first aorist of "graphO," "write"?

Your Answer: egrase

The correct answer was egrapse.

The stem is graph- To form the aorist, add a sigma and a weak aorist personal ending. A labial stop plus a sigma gives a psi. Hence, "egrapse."


An example of a question that I didnt understand then and still dont. I understood the answer even less.

I post it for the purpose of ridicule. Throw your rottenest tomato at it and hard !

It was put in the Trivia Quiz just for me, I'm sure, to make me feel more daft than I thought I was

It is, as it were, all Greek to me too.

I note we have 11 starters so far today and that theia's raced off into the lead which is no surprise at all.

Pile in, anyone else who might like to give it a shot. December's anyone's game really, what with the holiday tripping up those in front.

Any last-ditch waverers perhaps? We have a round dozen at this stage but if a few more would like to give it a shot they'll be extremely welcome.

Final call for the good ship lollipop, the link's in my .sig just below...

Grrr. I went to a festival where I know that wi-fi is available but someone had ripped the ethernet cable out of the modem

Some of those questions are ridiculous. Translate a language that I didn't even know was a language? lol

4. Bruv + 8 pts 7 110 590

5. Snowfire + 7 pts 7 110 590

The same amount of questions correct in exactly the same amount of seconds, gives me and Bruv the same score but he gets an extra point.

I've been very hard done by. I've taken it very personally. I've gone to bed with a cold flannel

I noticed that when I checked in - very unfair

Snowfire is alphabetically challenged unfortunatley...............I can't help being a B.

Having seen it a couple of times I think it's first to play is scored higher

Answer me this one :-





1. The largest divorce settlement was worth what?

Your Answer: $874 million plus property

The correct answer was {$874} million plus property.

In 1982, Soraya Khashoggi divorced from her husband, a Saudi entrepeneur.

Nice to know it's consistent at least

May I add a singularly pig-ignorant piece of Americana?1. What rank is represented by a single chevron?

Your Answer: Lance Corporal

The correct answer was Private.

A single chevron siginfies a private (Able Seaman in the Navy). Privates used to be called Lance Corporals. Recruits and Cadets have no insignia.



Speaking as an ex Lance Corporal with a single chevron, I take umbrage.

Yes.......................you are well known for it.

Bruv;1449741 wrote: Yes.......................you are well known for it.


Well he should. The chevron denotes the first elevation in rank and shows an ability to lead a small group of soldiers. It cant be called a private in anyones language, even if the US choose to. Trust them to be different to everyone else

There were other names for Lance Corporals, but I've forgotten what they were.

It's to make them 'Feel' better.

The powers that be didn't want to give them a wage rise so gave them a rank instead, it either elevates everybody above them.......or more likely, devalues the ranking system.

Kind of a pointless exercise really.

Actually that answer (as far as "Americana" is concerned) was wrong, A Private has no chevron in either the US Army, or Marines.

The First Chevron is earned with the rank of PFC (Private First Class)

In the US Military Only the Marine Corps uses Lance Corporal, it is a single Chevron with the Crossed Rifles underneath.

I believe the British Army Lance Corporal is equivalent to the PFC in US.

We still have to put up with drivel like this

General: 10 Question Average Quizzes: Things Found In and About Belly Buttons

6. You notice that you have crumbs in your belly button...but gee whiz, how did it get there?

All of these.

While sleep walking you took a trip to the refrigerator.

While sleeping with a bag of chips next to you.

While eating.

That is truly a new low - given the amount of trouble I had getting a few British based questions into the pool I shudder to think how that got in there.

Do we all get different questions? I don't recognise most of those posted here.

A different question set is generated roughly every ten minutes. If you do the quiz very close in time to someone else then you may well get the same questions, before the next set is randomly picked.

Do you know why that happens? It seems pointless.

I can see a point, we get spot to go first, he always gets tens, then you quickly ring him and he can tell you the correct answers, then I'll ring you and you can tell me the correct answers :wah: think we can do that within ten minutes?

I'm jumping to conclusions that I cannot back up but I'd guess that it would give a different set of questions if it received more than one username from the same IP Address

September ended in a long-drawn-out draw, with only three or four players contending and thus making changes to the table rather hard work.

If everyone piles in, today being the first of October, we might have a more fluid launch. Today appears to be Literature.

For those who have forgotten, FG Trivia is designed to be annoying, aggravating, frustrating and (sadly perhaps but it's how some of us are designed) competitive. The only good thing about it is that it takes a mere two minutes a day to remember, click a bookmark and fill in the multiple-choice page.

It's also really difficult! We'll take part if you also set up an easier one :wah:

I have absolutely no idea how to set up a new game, I was probably sampling whiskey when I did the original. I would also bet money that you have a higher proportion of 10-scores than anyone else in there, when you show up.

Did you just see theia's impersonation of Super Mario, flying into the lead at the beginning of lap 1?
