I am 7/7 this month but Sploofus doesn't think so.

I got a R02 error message, whatever that was, for a correct answer.

But I am sure I will crash and burn soon.

Talk about flukes - somehow I'm in the top 5 of the bored.

I have to treasure this moment since I doubt I will see it again.

I also recently broke into the top 1000 (low 900's) for all time ranks (904).

I have not been Sploofing on work days but when I get my new laptop, which was delivered today to my home, when I go back Friday night, I'll have a good enough system to Sploofus. :)

Yeah, you need a fast system to Google your answers and get them in on time...

Hooray! I've been doing well so far this month. I also like to answer as soon as I get up in the morning so if I'm correct, I'll be higher in the rankings.

Once again, I got lucky on an obscure trivia question today. Sploofus asked me what Eva Braun's day job was.

I got asked about a TV show I watched years ago. The question was so obscure, I had no idea.

I missed another one today. Only 5-3 this month so far.

Today's was the dreaded Music & Musicians (or whatever it is called) category. And the correct answer only had part of the person's name; "Janet" and not "Janet Jackson". They had the full names of the other choices so I'm not sure what the point of just "Janet" was.

Still probably would have missed it. It was a song that I have no recollection of.

I have missed one question this month, but I guess that I am slow because I am ranked in the low 100's.

I'm getting horrible lag on Sploofus when I try to answer the QoD. It takes the Question forever to load. Today, I answered within 4 seconds of the question popping up, but my time was 16.6 seconds.

I wish I could blame the lag for the 3 questions I've missed this month.

I got a bad lag today as well. May not be a problem on our ends.

Just out of curiosity, anybody know what the minimum and maximum speed bonuses are?

I answered a very easy question today in 3.something seconds and ended up with a score of 1596. Is the minimum score 1,000, maximum 1,600?

Once, I got one in either under a second or just over and scored about 1800.

My guess is that the theoretical highest score is 2000, but that would require getting the answer in 0.0 seconds.

If you get it right, the least you will get is 1000, but if you don't get timed out, I believe you will get a t least a few "time bonus" points.

I have never answered a question in under 5 seconds because there is always at least a 3 second delay between me clicking the answer button and the clock stopping....

Not that it helps when you miss half of the questions like I have this month.....
