WWTBAM Bored

I've been in 1st the entire month on TQOTD as newtex. I'm probably jinxing myself but I know it won't last so I had to brag a bit.

It depends on when you play. I've also been first all month when I checked my position after answering the question, but that's probably because I usually play shortly after midnight, when I get the reminder e-mail. If you play later in the day, then I guess you're higher than me. I haven't missed yet, but I'm still too slow.

WTG, AJ!

I got five in a row up to yesterday, which put me on Page One, although never above 15 or so. I got today's right also, but I must have been too slow -- I'm on Page Two now. Maybe even Page Three.

I was doing fine until some sort of timeout today. I'll have to see if they give me points.

I was a little slow this morning so I'm in 2nd by 3 points.

I'm sure that's true, Confessor. That's one reason why I waited until the afternoon yesterday to check the standings. Still might be people left to play but I figure most have by then.

I too put in a brief appearance in 1st earlier in the week when I went through my question backlog late in the afternoon. But, considering I "fat finger" Sploofus more than I did in TOPG, that was obviously a computer error.

Congrats aj!

Congratulations, and good luck for the rest of the month. --Bob

I was #1 again last night after I played, but now I'm down to #10. I'm averaging about 160 points less than you per correct answer. Slow brain, slow fingers, slow computer.

Aaargghh. Finally missed a question. Didn't know it so not as bad as it could have been. We'll see how far I fall.

Just to 2nd. I'm 495th; it's been a bad month so far.

Back on track this morning, back in 1st at least for the moment.

I missed yesterday, which brings my total misses in the first 11 days up to my total for all of February.

Back on Page One . . . until about 4 p.m. when everybody's had a chance to play.

I missed another question over the weekend. Back in 2nd place for now.

Crashing and burning now.

Next month I'll keep my mouth shut.

I wouldn't call 9th place "crashing and burning"

Neither would I. I crashed and burned to Page 5. Maybe Page 6 after today, I didn't look.

I'll need a big rally to finish the month in the top 100.

I just did yesterday's and today's TQOTD. I got them both right, but Sploofus didn't add my points, and I'm still showing 2 unanswered questions. I do hope this glitch gets fixed and my points show up.

Missed again this morning. Now out of the top 10.

Cal, you are showing in 16th place now I think.

17th by the time i checked, but yes, they did get my points corrected.

I'm stuck on the 13th floor but just got a 14.3% one that asked who wrote three books I had never heard of. I picked the one author on the list I had never heard of. That usually works with Buzztime too.

On the other hand a couple of days ago I had a Music question where I had never heard of the songs or any of the groups. The percentage was 20 so apparently no one else had either.

I'm not saying nuttin' this month.

Usually, four correct answers in a row will at least get me to Page 2, but Page 9 is the best I can do. I must have done worse at the start of the month than I remember.
