Another Sploofus thread

#1 Post by NellyLunatic1980 » Mon Jul 07, 2008 4:41 am

I blew a question about activated charcoal and, as a result, I've dropped to 16th place.

And while I'm thinking about it: JBillyGirl, how on Earth did you come up with Sveti Stefan?

I'm #94 at the moment, the first time this month in the top 100.

Note to self -

When selecting answer, click on not near radio button.

Also, do not attempt answering any question before your morning coffee.

And even if an answer seems riculously obvious, it still can be the right one.

Oh, and try not to be TOO quick.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

I've only missed one so far and, last I checked, I'm hanging onto the Hot 100 by my fingernail (the longest one).

My last two questions were answered correctly by 10% and 13%, I guess I used up all my no-brainers last month. Or I've finished too high the last two months and they're determined to knock down my time bonus points. Ha!

The one I missed the other day didn't even give me a WRONG!, it just said I exceeded the time limit, which I'm pretty sure I didn't. I am pretty sure, however, that I picked the wrong answer (they didn't give the answer or the % correct in the message), so maybe their no points for you! messages are just mixed up.
Spoiler
I'm darned good and ready.

Back into TQOTD Top 10. I'm #8, but I'm just 200 points out of third.

Doing crappy so far. What with subjects out of my BOK (The name of Poison's first album? Spare me!), mis-clicking the radio or submission button and second-guessing myself, I'm buried somewhere in the 3,000's.

That's still in the top 10% of all TQOTD players. I take some pride in that, on a website dedicated to trivia.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I'm getting hammered this month. I think I've missed 4 questions already. I'm not sure I missed that many the entire month of June.
No matter where you go, there you are.
