Right now, 3 of the Top 10 are Bored regulars or former regulars.

There may be others, but those are the only usernames I recognize.

I decided to take some chances on the 4 questions I had accumulated so far, to test Confessor's hypothesis:

Highest score I got was 2000 points, with a posted response time of 1.7 seconds.

The software seems to be reacting faster, or something. Before I would input an answer and it would pause for a second or so before returning with my time, and no matter how fast I was, I couldn't seem to break three seconds. Last night I did it twice. That may have just been because I was taking more chances, but my subjective view was that the "pause" wasn't there.

FWIW I use a notebook PC and a WiFi connection - there seems to be some delay between the time I click the "Submit" button and the time that the clock stops counting down. Also I'm not a premium subscriber, so no wager tokens for me to increase my score. I'm content to be in the top 100.

I get a lot of lucky guesses and Potpourri is my favorite subject, or at the least the one in which I seem to do the best. I only do it to learn stuff. Maybe some of it will stick with me. I'm somewhere down in the hundred thousands I think. I'm not a premium member either.

Sometimes late in the month I show up in the top 100.

Does everyone get the same question each day? Mine usually arrives around midnight, but it was delayed by several hours today, so I just now saw it. I got a question about voice actors on "The Simpsons." I tried to answer as fast as possible, so I saw the name Nancy Cartwright and quickly clicked on the response "Bart Simpson." Apparently the question asked which character is NOT voiced by Nancy Cartwright. One thing I don't like is that you can't go back and review the question after you've submitted your answer, since it disappears from the screen.

Does that mean you're a premium subscriber? I think the riff raff can only see the top 100 on the leaderboard.

No premium subscriber here. My position for the month and overall appear near the top of the sploofus window. On the right hand side.
