I've set up a Quiz [Gardenerscorner Masterminds]

No excuses, Slinky..............just facts! Lol :D:D

 

Yesterday I got 8 right and most were guesses, today I got 8 right and felt hard done by, coz I knew them all, and only guessed the two!

Here's the one that got me giggling today:

[SIZE=+1]7. I really want to meet Ron. I know he lives in the same city as me. He sent me his photo, heâ??s so cute. I really know him inside and out from our chatting on-line. No one is going to talk me out of meeting him. Where should I go to meet him?[/SIZE]

Your Answer: A noisy restaurant

[SIZE=+1]If you insist on meeting Ron, please at least meet at a busy restaurant. Preferably during a busy dinner time hour. I would also like to suggest that you bring a friend or even another couple to sit close-by you.[/SIZE]

What's that got to do with Science and Technology?!? Took me ages to read the question too!

 

Jarbax, I think it arises from Chemistry and Technically it is sound advice! :thumb::D:D

 

:thumb: ahahahaha! :thumb:

 

That was my worst round ever!

Well done Moyra, Shiey and Pip - and all the others who will beat my score today! Really did it today using the 'haven't had number three in a while' method! Obviously doesn't work! :D

My last day for a while aswell - going off to Edinburgh for a night, then way up North camping! Again - no plug points (even if I had a laptop!)

Moyra, what did you mean about it updating soon? How does that work?

 

Enjoy Edinburgh Jarbax :thumb:

 

Have a lovely break Jarbax. Looks like the weather should be kind for you. :thumb::D

When I said the site would be updating soon - it does every morning around 10ish. If you get caught doing your turn when that starts you end up like vegmandan did with a colossal timing and it doesn't really matter how many you get right because it will put you at the bottom on time alone. :(:( :D:D

 

Can anyone understand how the scoring works......because I sure cannot! Right now with five played Shiney has only been given the same points as the two below him and yet I have the same as vegmandan. Surely Shiney should have the same as me and dan as he scored 10 under a hundred seconds. Doesn't make sense.:confused::confused::confused:

 

I know Shiney it seems incredible to do it that quick.........bet Dan can read a book cover to cover in no time at all. Lol. I think it does depend whether you have seen the question before or how short the questions are how quickly you can get through. I am improving a bit on timing since my wrist is on the mend. Still painful this morning though. Time I gave it a rest.

 

I can read really fast in short bursts like this quiz.

Here's a test for you to do.

Click the link and try the test. http://www.readingsoft.com/

I managed 515 words per minute,going ridiculously quickly and not taking anything in and 330 reading normally.

 

Shiney, I can see that Dan has honed his skills on this fast reading but it took me a score of 215 to read it through and was trying to find something of interest in it.........I was so bored I didn't bother with the test. Maybe I shall live to regret it. I am however qualified to take pitman's shorthand at 180 words a minute and could read that a darn sight quicker! :thumb::D

 

Sorry for so late, but each to their own eh? I'm only saying this cos I haven't done well:rolleyes: Blooming good quiz to have on here but a shame some things are only American, mind you bet the kids know more than us!

cheers

 

Very lucky today:thumb: American again! More lucky guesses than knowledge:o

cheers
