Now the six month, thrice daily, Global Trivial Challenge has ended, I've just discovered something. I didn't come fifth in Lancashire after all, oh no...I won!

Supposed first place player Pollygw lives in Manchester, which is no longer in Lancashire. Angus_prune should know that Southport is in Merseyside. The last time I went to Todmorden, place of residence of Luckypierre, it was in West Yorkshire, and of course honorary Lanc LYY lives in Virginia.

Thus, I am the true Lancastrian resident winner.

Now where's my crown?

I'll bring it along with your newest pony if I can get over in May (ticketing issue). Be warned though Rindy Roo, close to getting broadband which shall make the chase that much more challenging.

I do admit though, by playing over here in the Lancashire group, I've got the American slant advantage as we had in Accyweb Trivia.

Steeljack, hope you give it all a go. Just think of it as your challenging yourself each game. Plus, you learn all kinds of interesting facts by playing.

Just to remind all: There is Accymel's Trivia, Regional Trivia, and then the Global Trivia. All can be fun, challenging, and a bit of friendly competition.

Just joshin ya know Jen!

I'm curious as to how many of the Global players have been recruited by some of the teams. I've had a few and Cindy has had a couple.

I got an email from the "Classical music/Mensa Members Team." They invited me to be on their team due to various factors. Certainly none being my knowledge of classical music nor anything close to Mensaship!

Any idea what the purpose of the teams are? Do they compete against each other? Why would one choose this team over that team?

I've got my mate in Scotland hooked, and it's something he can carry on with when they shortly move to the Canarie Isles.

He sent me an invite to the ' Garinda's scusi du pain por favor' team. In memory of a tour of Europe when I didn't know which country we were in, and embarrassed myself in a restaurant.

I turned it down. I like being a free spirit.

Although the last six month game had ended, you could still play every six hours to practice.

It was supposed to start today, the first of March, but when you try to play it now says starts next Monday morning.

It's kept me sane for the last six months, as well as keeping my wrist supple. God knows how I'm going to fill my time until Monday, and I have no idea how I'm going to exercise my wrist.

Hey fellow GC players. Do any of you consistently play the bonus "impossible" questions? I just figured out it goes against the average score! I thought it just added a bit to your general advancement but did not affect the average tally.

Since I only usually get ~ 6-7 right, is it really worth doing?

I played the bonus game for a couple of months, but soon realised that my average score was being brought down, so I'm not doing it for this session.

Is the playing time the same, or has it been brought forward an hour? I can never tell, because before it used to say next game starts in 1 hour, when it had already started.

Good luck everyone.
