    Celebrity offspring? Not a chance I’ll get that right. They have misspelt ‘Claus’ 🙄

    Quite. I get this wrong every time, because I simply can’t bring myself to put that combination!
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Well, that question about Catherine the Great is a bit offensive.

    Me too - I could really do without questions about Nebuchadnezzar.
    I keep forgetting to do the quiz on Sundays, which is a shame because it’s usually my best shot at getting a good score & decent time. 🙄
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    Well, I failed on most of that!
  • Tree BeeTree Bee Shipmate
    Tricky for a Brit today
  • Anna_BaptistAnna_Baptist Shipmate
    After a really bad week (yesterday I was the only person not to get a 10!) I feel like I've got my mojo (or guessometer) back.
  • la vie en rougela vie en rouge Purgatory Host, Circus Host
    My guessometer's gone AWOL. Too American for me today.
  • Pearl B4 SwinePearl B4 Swine Shipmate
    I've got plenty of lovely company down in the 7/10 area. Oh, and being a Merican didn't help at all.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    You've now got someone propping you up as well - that was my worst performance in ages!

    By the way, Anna, you've broken the Guessometer. :grimace:
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    I remembered the quiz on a Sunday! Yay! One of my & the iPad’s best times. 😎
  • la vie en rougela vie en rouge Purgatory Host, Circus Host
    I also am a fan of Sundays. Baptist Sunday school for the win! (If I'd got there earlier in the day I would have been second instead of fourth, but such is life).
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Happy with fourth place, as I changed a wrong guess to a right one, changed it back again and then changed it back to a right again. If I hadn't faffed about, I might have been ahead of Heavenlyannie!

    Hey, I need all the points I can get! (Especially as you’re currently keeping me out of the top ten)
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host

  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Bollocks - got the stepping on the crack one wrong again.
  • Anna_BaptistAnna_Baptist Shipmate
    Ah well, At least I'm in good company Piglet
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    One of those questions always makes me smile, as my immediate response isn’t on the answer list. (Yes, I know the spelling’s different)
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate

  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Thanks for posting that, @TheOrganist - I managed to sneak a trotter into the top 10 for the first time in quite a while!

    I've made a not bad start to November either - third place will do just fine! :smile:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    WooHoo! I came back to check, thinking I would have been knocked down a few pegs. It's exciting to be at the top, which is a very rare event...if it lasts until the end of the day! :D
  • Jonah the WhaleJonah the Whale Shipmate
    Well jj, you're off the top spot now.
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    :bawling:
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    Well, that was a big fail.
  • la vie en rougela vie en rouge Purgatory Host, Circus Host
    Bugger. Stabbed at the wrong spot the screen. I would have been top otherwise. :confounded:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I'd never heard of any of the actresses or the series in question 10, and neither had the Guessometer. :(
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Well, that's me in my customary place for a Sunday, propping up the rest of you 😳
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    That's what you get for reading Choir and Organ and the Organists' Review during the sermon ... :mrgreen:
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Actually we had an excellent sermon yesterday - stopped me reading my copy of Private Eye 😄
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    I missed an answer in one of the questions & chose the nearest instead 🙄

    I don't think I'd be safe reading Private Eye in church - too much danger of a giggle-control mechanism malfunction. :mrgreen:
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    John Travolta films did for me.

    I was lucky with that one - it was one of the two films of his that I'd have known.
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Confectionary 😡

    I have no idea why my time came out at 1229 seconds. Bizarre! That's over 20 minutes!!

    [ETA It appears that somehow I was also logged in to the quiz on my phone. :disappointed:]
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Well, who's going to knock me off the top spot this time?
    It is nice to be here for a few seconds anyhow! :blush:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
