October Sploofus Standings

[andrewjackson]

Only 62.5% knew the year that Alaska and Hawaii became states.

I don't think that those who answer several questions at once are necessarily hoarding them in order to zoom past somebody. I've discovered that I can answer something instantly on my laptop and it will still give me a time of 6-7 seconds. So I wait until I'm on the desktop to answer them. I'm not on the desktop every day and sometimes even when I am I don't think about Sploofus questions that need to be answered.

I was using "question hoarders" somewhat facetiously. I know that there are multiple reasons why people don't answer every day. I still call them question hoarders.

I didn't say that the things I think about are true, just that I think them.

I caught up on questions and I am presently ranked #10with 19,942.

I got a questions about Sumerians under the category of World Events. I don't think that it's world events, but I knew the answer from helping Emma study for a test last year.

[andrewjackson]

I knew I shouldn't have opened my big yapper. Q this morning with a book and author I've never heard of.

I'll be back below 50 by this afternoon.


I need to just stay out of this thread.

[PlacentiaSoccerMom]

As of this moment, I am number six!

[gsabc]

Back in 6th overall. Had the chance to jump to the head of the BB list, but was nonplussed by a strange vocabulary question.: "Which of these word is least like the others?" All the choices were adjectives. I got it right, but was very slow. I'm still not sure of the reasoning. I think the similar words described mental attitudes, while the oddball was more a physical/sensual description.

I Sploofused tonight and was very fast at it.

Right now I am number one, but I know that it won't last.

A quickie, huh?

Whether it lasts or not, nice feeling, isn't it? Congratulations!

[PlacentiaSoccerMom]

I am number 3 right now, but I suspect that many people won't answer their questions until Monday.

[gsabc]

As of around 5 PM ET, BBs make up 8 of the top 15 and 9 of the top 20. Damn, we're good.

[kayrharris]

I think I'm 5 questions behind. I will wait until tomorrow when I not as tired, not that it will really make any difference.

Reality bit me today. Got an obscure George Clooney factoid to puzzle out. Okay, if you're a George Clooney fan, it may not have been so obscure. The fact that only 17.1% of TQOTDers got it right, though, says it was.

Guess I should just way buh bye now.

As I sink slowly into the pack. Sploofus realized that I was doing too well and hit me today with an 11.2% question on Alice Cooper albums. Not even in my heyday, or his, would I have gotten it. I've always been mellow.

At least you had a heyday.

How come you get all the Alice Cooper questions and they foist off all the geography stuff on me?

I would gladly trade, Ms. Fanny. I actually can't recall a recent geography question (he said, tempting the Sploofus gods).

It would not be exaggerating to say that, in an average week, 5 of my questions are Geography or World Events. I think they have some sort of algorithm to give you the categories in which you have the lowest percentage of correct answers in your history.

I should test this by changing my exemption from Science to Geography, since I got my one and only Physical Science question correct (my very first QOD ever and a completely blind stab that, if I recall, less than 10% got right).

[PlacentiaSoccerMom]

I got a nice easy science question this morning. Presently I am in third place with 27,950 points.
