I usually take even longer. That's first of all because English is not my native tongue, and secondly, some questions don't make any sense to me. For instance, medical stuff in English is pure abacadabra for me, i don't recognize most words in that sector, same goes for a lot of foodtypes, there's names i never even heard of. Astronomy and science is also too much for my limited vocabulare. I score most points in sports, movies, random European trivia and eighties stuff. I wish there was more historical stuff on ancient Egypt and Rome, stuff like that.

I hear that Johnny (about the ancient stuff) although, english works for me, as my dutch is pretty weak!

to be fair we could do it all in Swahili, as i doubt anyone would have a real advantage!

I'm used to answering questions fast, due to stupid amount of them in exams and only an hour to do it in.
Plus english is my only language, although I know phrases from other ones. Sadly not any in Swahili.

May I recommend a mouse with a cursor wheel? It took like 20 seconds off my average score.

Yeah, I'm stuck using a laptop with a touch-button thingy. It sucks big style *grin*
