If you know the answers it shouldn't take you so long. If you have to guess all the time you won't get good scores. It's strange.

I normally answer as fast as I can, and have to make an educated guess at one or two questions each time (except baseball, where I guessed ten of ten). Frankly, I don't see how you people get it done so quickly. The only time I got done so quick, I wasn't even reading the full question, just kind of skimming it for keywords and then guessing what it must be. Is that what you do each time?

Once my 4 missed answers came up I realized that I knew em and how much I too was pwned.

I dunno about the others, but I've always been able to basically read the whole sentence at once. It cuts dramatically down on my speed. It's also the reason no one will watch Jeopardy with me in my family.

I'm #2 today. I don't know how I read them so fast today.

Same here - I guess the yeas of reading Lit at University paid off because I can speed read.

I think I missed it, I was stuck at work.

Maybe we can invite people from any other boards we visit. I know I'll open the doors on those Ape-Por..... er, zoological academic study forums I am a member of.... :oops:
