    Shiny new link
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Classic misread from me! 😂
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    Question 4 - every name was unknown to me, so the comment with the answer was irritating.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    To think the name of a US non stick spray is lodged somewhere in the basement of my memory…
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    @McMaverick I know, worrying!

    I don't want anyone to do that on a date.

    I don't actually mind if a gentleman stands when I do (or when I come into a room). I wouldn't expect it, but if a chap wants to do it, that's fine by me. Same goes for holding doors open (although I'll happily hold a door for anyone, regardless of gender).

    That question always reminds me of my cousin, who when aged three or four, announced to the assembled family at Christmas dinner, as her mother returned to the table, "Did you do a wee or a poo, Mummy?"
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Strangely written clue on ‘substance abuse’ that I misunderstood despite rereading and wasting time 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    That was the question I had to re-read several times, hence my appalling time.
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    I simply misread it. My time was better but my score was worse.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I did a bit of thinking on that question (but not too much) and the Guessometer did the rest.

    It's propelled me to the top of the heap - for now anyway ...

    Yipee! :grin:
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Easy enough question, just bizarre.
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    Speed - good. Reading the whole question - bad. If I’d read the whole thing I’d have put the right answer. :unamused:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Briefly at the top of the heap again! :smile:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Well done Guessometer! :smile:
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Drat - mangled my superheroes.
  • PriscillaPriscilla Shipmate
    My tablet is playing up and I can’t get back into the game. I can’t remember my user name or password. Can anyone help me recover them?
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Did you used to be St. Gwladys? Would that be your username, and if you try it, would they maybe let you change your password?
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    No help from the Guessometer on which of four equally unknown-to-me American businesses was identified with a very generic sounding product.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Annoyingly obscure American questions, I actually guessed one right then changed it to a wrong!
  • SignallerSignaller Shipmate
    Guessometer no help on US restaurant chains.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Not much good on near-death experiences either ... :(
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    I lecture in death and dying and still didn’t get the near death experiences one right!
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Because the "right" answer wasn't?
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    edited December 2022
    Oh, it is correct.
    Near death experiences are briefly discussed in the module materials but I have never taught about it in any tutorial as it is not an important theme of the module (obviously). I have never thought about what is not a feature but that is, indeed, not on the listed common features and it should have been obvious to me if I had thought about it.
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    ‘Very Easy’=provided you’re familiar with American popular culture of the past. Fortunately memory/Guessometer helped out.
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    😡 changed a right to a wrong and then hit submit too soon.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Films my downfall again! :(
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    That'll learn me to not have eggnog before doing the quiz!
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    I completely misinterpreted the shoe question.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    The hypnotherapy question is nonsense!
  • la vie en rougela vie en rouge Purgatory Host, Circus Host
    Drinking Champagne prior to doing the quiz doesn't help on the speed front (what? It's Christmas)
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Happy Christmas fellow quizzers!

  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    Got two pieces of Americana wrong. (I think my nickname for the team is much better than the actual one.)
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    I also got that one wrong.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    With a little nudge from the Guessometer, I remembered that the nickname isn't what I think it should be. 🙂
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    Guessometer worked hard today, but only got one out of three. (All three Guessometer questions were ones which I expect an American would know.)
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    Yes, it was a bit half hearted and gave me one out of two I didn’t know.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Bollocks - wrong billionaire. And ******* baseball ... :rage:
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Too American again. 🙄
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    I always miss that same one. *sigh*
  • PriscillaPriscilla Shipmate
    Having a cat wandering between you and your computer screen doesn’t help your time ☹️
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    ******* 'Murcan TV again ... :rage:
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate

    Did anyone else have trouble loading the Quiz today? I've tried clicking the link several times, and I'm just getting the "circle of death", and the message "loading ..."

    eta: I've tried Googling funtrivia.com, but no luck there either. :(

  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Hmmm. It's not loading for me, either.
