My two week break didn't help.

I'm shit at maths also
Well done guys

Hi all,
I tried to do this but it won't accept my login even though it's definitely right
I have been doing this on another forum I'm on so if anyone ever fancies a second quiz feel free to have a go at http://www.funtrivia.com/private/main.cfm?tid=97421 too

Guys, I've got a new job starting in December and a general reassessment of priorities, so I'm probably going to drop out of the quiz after this month. Looks like I'm going out on a high...

Re: brains of fiso daily quiz
Sorry, couldn't let you win on your last day!
We seem to be ticking over still despite a slow but steady drop in numbers so I think we should carry on.
If anyone knows of a better site for a revamp of the comp or has any other ideas (bar the obvious dropping the saturday football category! - do we still need saintmark to change things ? Is he still around?)

Re: brains of fiso daily quiz
Not sure how many years I have been doing this but my favourite ever question has been set today;
What month before the sailing of the Titanic was the splash guard attached to the A Deck Promenade?
I am please to say I got it right

Re: brains of fiso daily quiz
No idea on the password (saintmark set it all up. Could PM him if he is still around).
There is a facility to invite folks if you PM me your e-mail address (probably can't do it til tonight though as I'm out and about). Can't guarantee it will work but we can try.

just played it - first time for years!! it remembered my password luckily.
sort of forgot it was a speed test as well, so not the fastest time, but not too bad. Seem to remember it gets easier if you play every day as the same questions come up!

Re: brains of fiso daily quiz
Not seen that before - got one marked wrong then they tell me it was the right answer, even in the text underneath.
The one on "Gilligan's Island" - names changed to not give away the, err, correct answer
Your Answer: 'Doris'
The correct answer was 'Doris'.
The correct answer is 'Doris'. On the show, X's first name was actually "Y"
