Re: Sploofus Victory
Last month I was in the top ten or twenty until the last few days of the month. I finished 34th. Right now I'm 751st.SportsFan68 wrote:OK, so I'm usually buried on Page 10 or worse in the Sploofus standings. But I got one that had been answered correctly only . . . well, see for yourself:

I think Sploofus has started giving those who finished high one month terrible question the next month. It seems to be not just random.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I had a pretty good month in October. I finished 4th overall as Newtex. I could have been 3rd but I missed a question in the last week that I knew the correct answer to as soon as I clicked.
I still have hopes to win a month, I have a lot of top 10s, but I can't get over the hump.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Re: Sploofus Victory
I was 7th in October running the table after opening the month at 1 for 4. This month I'm 3/3 with 2 in the 1500s and 1 in the 1400s for 2nd place.
