    I get to stay in front of philleotardo one more day. Whew.

    I'm glad you went first, or I'd never have put on the afterburners and gone for it like I did.

    Quiz questions about creating quiz questions are really stupid.

    I got a question about whether one can be banned from the quiz site for sending "bad notes." That was the only one I got wrong.

    I don't think I will ever truly go first in a day. I'm too chicken.

    I think this is my first 10/10 so far, but still not enough to break the top 10. You guys are good.

    Someone should check YASS and philleotardo for PEDs.

    Nobody who finishes any quiz in 39 seconds can ever be considered to be "chicken".

    Agreed, this is my first perfect game too and I was still slow by 20 seconds or so.

    This was my first perfect score too but alas, still not quick enough. I realized half way down the page that when I was scrolling down the page that my answers were changing as well so I had to start again. Oh well! I at least managed 10/10 today!

    What the hell, YASS?

    Another 10/10 day for me. Two in a row. I want to know how YASS isn't in first, and how he's only won once, because it seems like he gets 10/10 in 17 seconds every day.

    For that matter, the Captain has three wins in 10 days and is somehow only in 4th.

    I got 8 right again today, but I walked away to see the kids off to school so it took forever

    I have to admit though, I guessed on two that I got right.

    No, all the same questions. You just did really bad today.

    Truthfully, yes. it randomly pulls from a pool of questions so that no one can cheat. Eventually though, we will all get to answer all of the questions.

    Even if someone wants to "cheat," by using Google, that's fine with me. That's why there's a time limit. If you take six minutes to look up all of the answers and get them all right, you get a 640, which won't be very good.

    And just to clarify, I'm not saying Trish cheated, because I think she'd probably do better than 8/10 if she was looking up all of the answers.
