Don't you worry about me, as I whipped your butt this afternoon, just try and improve your times a bit.

Gosh, I'm getting good with my American history.

That's the regional quiz, or as I call it the baby class, where we practice for the divisonal quizes.
I play with the big boys in Divison 9.

Re: Global trivia quiz.
Geez, Rindy, coulda said we play with the big boys!

I can't understand why my times register so slowly. I've actually timed them and I am charged 2 seconds for every second played i.e. if I do it in 60 seconds (which I've never come close to) it registers 120 seconds!

I believe it's a lancashire conspiracy. I think, no, I know, that one of you have found a flaw in the system! Hence you are able, and actually have utilized this flaw for your personal gain!

Now let me more accurately reflect the actual goings on for the ill informed. Here are the curent, up to date standings:

Nah, I just go in there to warm my finger up, like I did this afternoon when I got 15/15 in 64 seconds in the Genius level General Section. Then went on to get 15/15 in the People Section in 70 seconds. Then went on to get 6/15 in History...but we won't talk about that.

I too find it kinda goes in waves. Start getting cocky getting 14s and 15s then get slammed with questions that I can't even hazard a stinkin guess on i.e. the hindu, Aussie, the arabic/gaelic/yiddish languages, etc. ! Makes it fun eh?

My dear jen , it's quite difficult to be consistent! Heck, even The Maestro Rindyroo has a bad game or two . I have many tough Regional Games. That's why I like the various categories in Global. Get to learn alot of neat facts. Unfortunately it's by getting them wrong more times then I'd like.

Play Hard, Play Smart, Play Fast!

Brian

It's a timewarp Brian.

I don't think I ever got the hang of this global thing.

Nah willow, I believe it's just the fact that I have dial-up rather than a broad band connection (does that make sense? he asks any computer experts ).

It's odd though cause it doesn't seem to affect the Accy trivia. Maybe cause there are only the 10 questions or maybe I've discovered some hidden speed flaw!

Re: Global trivia quiz.
Oh my gosh I just had my worse history play! However, I did now learn the following wonderful fact to share:

14. Pope John XXI wrote many medical texts before becoming Pope. What did he suggest may be used as an effective eyewash?

Your answer: Mother's milk
The correct answer was Baby's urine He also suggested using a poultice of goat's dung and wine to reduce swollen testicles.

Good luck with all that!

Brian
