Thanks to The Nanks for eclipsing my record of 1879 secs, the time it took for me to hang up the phone after it started ringing as soon as I hit the "Play Today's Game' button.

Also gives us something to do while retreating to the hotel in the hottest part of the day (free high speed broadband in a hotel that costs you $28 a night, with breakfast thrown in, gotta love that)
where are you guys?

At the time of writing we were in Hoi An, Vietnam. Now we're in Penang, Malaysia, not so hot in the middle of the day here. A few caching opportunities too!
There's free internet at our hotel here but we're paying much more for it in theory.... staying in the very swanky E&O hotel. Definitely not $28 a night

This is a surprisingly addictive quiz. Oh well, great for wasting time in the evenings.

Yes...it is great for wasting time in the evenings

But why can't I waste as much time as TraineeDiplomat

Life's too short to waste more than 30 seconds on this quiz

I could be out caching instead

I believe I have had the honour of elapsing the previously standing record for the longest time taken to complete the quiz.

CONGRATULATIONS CaleD! That's quite an honour! I pass on the plaque to you in AWE!

"I tell you what, it was a tough race... so tough... I kept fighting the voices in my head saying 'you're tired, you're weak, you can't continue', and I thought to myself, I've worked my whole life for this and I'm not going to let the opportunity pass me now! So my hands were hurting, I was sweating, my mind was racing and all I could concentrate on was passing that finish line. I resisted the temptation to pull out, and I just put my head down, gave it one last good shot, and came out on top"

Pesky, how about a couple of days of a setting above "roooly easy?"

It mainly comes down to clicking speed to seperate all the 10-pointers on most days!

And if your thinking of Shamming it with a 2nd or 3rd ID...
eah player gets a different set of questions from the same category, each day!

What's the problem? That some people can click faster than others? It was fun, and a challenge. Only thing I could think of to improve my speed was to set up a second monitor above the current one so I didn't have to scroll as much...

I'm certain noone is cheating, and US History questions suck

The Spindoctors · Post by **The Spindoctors** » 22 July 08 9:25 pm

I have heard through the grapevine that it IS POSSIBLE to get the same set of questions. Sorry grapevine for blabbing, but I think we should be honest.

If you are bending the rules, please let honesty win you over.

Since I'm the one currently in front, I would be disappointed if the prizes are held over. Actually I'm not into geocoins/trackables too much so that wouldn't even bother me to much.

I'm just a little peeved that there are accusations of cheating (and since I'm in front I'll assumed they are directed at me).

I'll let you know how I do it. I scroll quickly and don't read the whole question, just get the jist of it and choose the most correct answer. Now that the questiosn have "upped" it's a bit harder to get those sub 30s.

I happened to go well on the history one (with one complete guess that paid out!). If I was at a trivia night, game show, trivial pursuit it would change the way of playing (especially as there are multiple choice in this one!!)

Just putting my hand on my heart that I'm not cheating, just clicking quickly is my skill!! (some can hide caches, some can solve puzzle caches, I can do trivia!)
