whaddya know?

dumbo here was so busy inviting new peeps to play with us, that he forgot to
play himself!!!!!!

Silly Billy!

32 players, wow!

for Goromoff's International Challenge

Goromoff the memory challenged!

Anne Jackson...

Have a complaint about yesterday's scores, BTW!

I scored 931, and so did Dalin (later!), and Dalin
got 32 points, and I got 29! How come?

**Dalin**...

I wonder if they count fractions of a second and just don't put them
in. Like maybe I did it in 69 seconds and you took 69.5?

Anne Jackson...

I doubt it, Dalin. It would scarcely account for a final score
difference of three points, would it?

**Dalin**...

I don't know but you forgot to play today!

Anne Jackson...

Is that a record?

Anne Jackson...

I didn't forget, actually, I've been playing other games on the
funtrivia site (and if you construe from that, that I feel strongly
about yesterday's debacle, then you'd be right!) I've also been busy,
getting ready to go off on holiday at the crack of dawn tomorrow....
five days in the caravan, and then off down to London for six days...

Goromoff...

ah, my dear Anne - I do not fully understand the mechanics, but I do know
that time has an effect on score eg, if one person gets 9 correct in 85
seconds, and another gets 9 correct in 90 seconds, then the former gets
extra score, but hey - it's all in good honest fun!

Anne Jackson...

Some of the questions are exceedingly long, some days. They can
be anything up to five lines long, and still be incomprehensible!

I frequently have to read a question several times, to even start
to understand it!

**Dalin**...

Some of the questions are longer on some tests and take longer to
read. I've had tests before where all the questions were only two
lines.

The points number is dependent on the number of that day's players, so, for
yesterday the bestest got 32 and the worstest got 1 point.

Anne Jackson...

You missed my point, Goro. Dalin and I got *exactly* the same score,
(both got 10 correct answers, in *exactly the same time) but I got mine
first, but I came second on the score list! Why?

Goromoff...

you want an honest answer Anne?

I ain't got the foggiest notion why! Sorry!

Anne Jackson...

Well, as 'mine host' I should have thought it incumbent upon you
to _find out_ how the scoring and final placements works!

Chakolate...

Because he likes Dalin better?
