    A nursery rhyme slowed me down a LOT.

    Here we are again.

    Edited to add link - Piglet, Circus host

    Does anyone know why, when my correct answers, timing and points are the same as @Piglet she gets 7 points and I get 3? :cry:

    Basically because she's in the top 10, and you're not. First to play wins in the event of a tie.

    This will change as more people play through the day and the points allocation gets adjusted (ie even if she's still 10th and you're still 11th).

    need to read the answers properly

    Me and American politics 😖 the worst thing is, I knew one and gave the wrong answer because I thought it was an old question I got wrong last time 🤭

  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    Thank you, Guessometer
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    Guessed wrong on both American culture questions.
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    I was very tired (spent all yesterday at an online conference) and did really badly, including not reading properly.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    🤷‍♀️ George W Bush’s offspring? 🤷‍♀️ Still, you couldn’t set a question for Boris Johnson...
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Well you could, but it might be hard to pinpoint the right answer ... :mrgreen:

    @Wet Kipper - you must have tired out the Guessometer - I got the slogan question wrong (having changed it from a right guess). :(

    I resisted the urge to change that answer, so only got the Bush one wrong.

  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    I had no idea about the NBC logo, but changing a right answer to a wrong one mistaken belief I’d chosen that wrong answer before, that’s frustrating.
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    I had no idea about the film (movie). I guessed the peacock. I’ve no idea what it is
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Grr. Changed a right answer again!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    The Guessometer was on ripping form today! :)
  • Pearl B4 SwinePearl B4 Swine Shipmate
    My movie knowledge would rattle around in a thimble. ka-chink ka-chink ka-chink.
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host

  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I knew the answer to the Scrabble question, but clicked the wrong ******* spot. :rage:
  • PriscillaPriscilla Shipmate
    As an avid player of Words with Friends (online Scrabble), I’m very glad I got that question right.🙃

    I’m making a habit of changing right answers to wrong ones this week!
  • Anna_BaptistAnna_Baptist Shipmate
    Congratulations Wet Kipper.

    Of course, the hard part is staying on top.
  • Jonah the WhaleJonah the Whale Shipmate
    The month I manage to beat Anna is the month Kipper decides to play every day. Where's that rolleyes smiley when you need it? :disappointed:
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    well, I missed 2 days, I think - but was nowhere near beating Anna's high score total from May.
    And today, I spent *far* too long re-reading question 1

    That makes me feel better - so did I!
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Grr! Hit the wrong button on a question. 🙄
  • Pearl B4 SwinePearl B4 Swine Shipmate
    From The Slowest Among Ye: Immediately after I hit "Play the game now", a frickin ad filled my screen, with no way to kill it. What the heck goes???
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    Never heard of the American giant.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Neither had I.
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    it tells me I've already played today - but I'm sure I haven't, and no score is shown for me.
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    GAH - 2 US-centric questions today, and Guessometer was no help
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    Likewise Gah! But only one of my guesses was wrong.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    The radio show one was a non starter for non US folk. 😕
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    I get the same US centred one wrong each time
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    Guessometer worked well this morning, I still have no idea what the mystery question is about.
  • orfeoorfeo Suspended
    Fastest!

    Also occasionally wrong. Details, details.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Hmm! I dispute their answer to the last question.

    Well the answer very much looks like what you get when they take something from a different quiz and then mash a bunch of stuff together.
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Unbelievable! Top of the pile for a bit!
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    I don't care if I'm the fastest today, I'm just glad to get a 10 after a run of poor scores
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Thank you all for letting me win yesterday! ;)
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    No need to thank me, JJ - I let somebody else win every day ... :mrgreen:
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    read. the. question
    read. the. answers
    :disappointed:
  • orfeoorfeo Suspended
    I'm utterly amazed I got as many as 9 right today.

    But the one I got wrong, the answer said "This one should have been to easy!". Um, sure, if you're an American, and a sports fan, and old enough.
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    Agree with you @orfeo Luckily for me all my guesses came out right.
