    You want to have a look at some of the other tournaments by clicking personal tournament and then have a look at some of the public quizzes.

    There's one where the top 10 have all got 10 correct in under 20 seconds !!!!!!!!

    Unbelievable,they must just click randomly and hope they get them right ???

    Have a look it's crazy.

    Hi Slinky,

    Are you able to ask questions of the quiz administrators?

    Although it is not important, the way they work out the average scores keeps bugging me :eek: :mad:. I always thought that to arrive at an average you divide someone's total number by the times that that they have played!!! All the average scores that they show on the quiz site have been arrived at by dividing the total by one less than the times played.

    Is this the new American way of doing maths in order to confuse the terrorists? :D :D

    Well, to satisfy Kathy,and no doubt a few more,you can change History (way too American dude) to anything else you like...oh except Religion or Hobbies,as I'm a non knitting atheist.

    How about something like Animals set at Very Easy so we can try to beat Silmars 47 second time record.

    I'm not keen on either but would prefer history to music :).

    The mind boggles at what they might come up with if it was American music :eek:.
