A perfect score

Forgive me for bragging but it has been a couple of years since I had a perfect score. Wednsday is my day reserved for NTN/Buzztime trivia after school. Playing the new 10 question game sometime between 4 and 5 (central), I was able to put up a perfect 10,000 and grab the top spot on our monthly location top score board. I knew nine of them and The Force guided me to a music question answer that I was guessing on.
When the national results popped up, there were two others with 10,000 so it was a three way tie. My good fortune made me forget about that 2 hour and 45 minute meeting I had endured earlier that afternoon.

Congratulations. Isn't a perfect score normally 15,000?

They changed the format to ten questions in fifteen minutes. I heard they were going back to fifteen question format. The prime time games remained the same as far as I know.

They are sort of mixing things up. They might play 3 of the 10 new question games in an hour and then have two traditonal 15 question Countdown games in the next hour. I am not sure if Wipeout is still in the regular rotation or not.

No need to apologize.
Perfection is perfection.
Congrats!

BTW: Although I have never nailed a perfect score, I was able to accomplish a fairly impressive feat once myself.
I walked in to a bar (ha!) and ordered a beer and a playmaker. Got the box right at the end of the game.
How close to the end?
Well...I completed my login just as question 15 was winding down.
My final score for that particular game?
1.
I would have killed for a screen capture...

LOL. I think I've gotten 1 during gameplay but not as a total score.
This change in Buzztime games from 30 minute to 15 minute games is apparently an attempt to make the games quicker and attract a younger crowd. Marley can add the appropriate grumbles.
