If you like a quiz keep an eye out for @alang1993 sharing the link for the 16:05 Sunday quiz it's impossible to cheat as it moves quickly, if of course you think the regular 50 posters are at it. I'm looking at you @alang1993 Lol, did I just get accused of cheating?. I'll wear that with a badge of honour. People that play with a straight bat and are accused of cheating, means they must be good, on the flip side people actually cheat are dicks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure no one cheats as who needs a virtual gold medal to give them validation. However I then don't see why folk would get fed up with the quiz if they believed everyone played fairly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll only know you've really made it when someone pretends to be you on another quiz. Isn't that right @101 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's maybe time to source an alternative when several people are posting 10/10 every day. I have to agree on the regular high scoring - I do think you get into the rhythm of a question-setter after a while, and even your guesses are kind of informed by the choices he/she gives you (see spoiler). Having said that, Nine for Monday. Bloody chess. Spoiler Today's Film question.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The questions that are posed daily couldn’t actually be any more diverse than they are at present. See my reply to Arch - it's not about the standard, which I agree is pitched pretty well. It's about the, well, "flavour" of the questions - anyone who has ever done the crossword in the Times, Guardian, etc. will tell you they recognise the setter without reading the credit. I reckon this quiz has two, possibly three different setters. Edited October 5, 2020 by WhiteRoseKillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywhere my 9 was a typo I actually got 12. I never did get round toboning up on Hokkaido et al, and then one day they were gone. the occasional nipponese reference in the current format feels quite nostalgic. I kinda miss them. Aussie Politicians, though? Fúck 'em. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
