I assumed it was inspired by the BBC's election night Swingometer ...
I'm not sure about that - the Guessometer was the invention of the late and much-lamented Uncle Pete, who was Canadian, and may not have had that much experience of the Swingometer.
Having said that, it may be the reason I imagined it was pronounced like that.
It's a good day for me, more by luck than judgement. How am I supposed to know who won the Stanley Cup 21 years ago, especially as none of the options were from Canada?
Question 10's answer is belied by Question 9. Not that I'm sore because I changed a wrong to a right. And that because I remembered getting this one wrong the last time it came up. I'm missing the Guessometer now I'm banned from using it.
I don't ever submit unless I think I've got 10 (mostly not of course). Waste of time at my speed.
I would like some training in how to reply within a minute. I just cannot read, think, and clink ten times in under 50 secs; nor will I ever be able to.

I miss the eye rolling emoji.
Who sets these bloody questions anyway?
(The last time I set a pub quiz nobody could answer the questions. I wasn't allowed to do it again)
That position is usually reserved for me.
Me neither, lver!!!
Slips Guessometer a $20.
BTW, is his name pronounced Gess'-oh-meter or Ges-aw'-mehter?? Curious minds, you know.
Asks Guessometer for change back.
Indeed!

Actually I think it did - I remember watching a couple of episodes before we moved to Canada.
It was a bit rubbish though ...

Congratulations once again to @Anna_Baptist, top of the tree every month since April 2021
And if you carry on thinking that way I'm halfway to winning for another month
Quite surprised to be third as I felt I wasn’t doing well in June.
