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.

andrewjackson · #12 Post by **andrewjackson** » Tue Mar 12, 2013 6:51 am

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

TheCalvinator24 · #13 Post by **TheCalvinator24** » Tue Mar 12, 2013 9:09 am

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

SportsFan68 · #14 Post by **SportsFan68** » Thu Mar 14, 2013 2:14 pm

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

andrewjackson · #15 Post by **andrewjackson** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 11:28 am

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

andrewjackson · #16 Post by **andrewjackson** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 9:22 am

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.

TheCalvinator24 · #20 Post by **TheCalvinator24** » Wed Mar 27, 2013 8:45 am

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.

andrewjackson · #21 Post by **andrewjackson** » Wed Mar 27, 2013 9:39 am

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.

andrewjackson · #24 Post by **andrewjackson** » Mon Apr 01, 2013 9:46 am

I'm not saying nuttin' this month.

SportsFan68 · #25 Post by **SportsFan68** » Thu Apr 18, 2013 8:24 am

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.
