You don't dominate either now. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Geography and History? Ew. Especially American history, who wants to know anything about that? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[Sir Goulum]

Obviously not you. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I could have done what I was originally planning, a crazy Canadian knowledge quiz that I would get crazy points on, but I was feeling kinda nice today.

Damn, only one I didn't get right was the irish one... [img]smile.gif[/img]

By the way, why am I number one, and got 16 points but some guy had all right and only got 12 points?

Yay I'm coming seventh for today!

Woot 2nd place. I would have done it faster but I didn't realized I was being timed and so I chatted on AIM

Urgh. It doesn't give enough penalty for time! Score should rapidly decrease after 90 seconds (9 seconds respond time is more than enough - if you don't know it by then you simply don't know). I don't want to play "who can type fastest in Google". Sorry.

Well, if you see how ridiculous some questions are...
"You're near the foot of some big hills. They might be mountains, in fact, but from where you are it's hard to tell. There's a train station nearby, but no flightless birds, which might seem odd."
And the question is which Sydney area you're in. And I had another question about an area north of Los Angeles. I mean, I'm not completely oblivious when it comes to geography, but these are ridiculous if you've never been there.
I realize the questions are picked at random, but is it always like this? I've played music quizzes on the main site every now and then, but at least those are within a reasonable scope - even if half the questions deal with country music.

That was bloody hard. I ended up cheating at the end and earned myself last place because of it. You just can't beat the system i guess.

[/QUOTE]Wow, they are pretty lame questions. Thankfully i didn't get any like that. Instead i got a whole bunch about Yankee history. I was sure Davy Crocket got hanged for doing a number on something or other back in 1859. [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
