Tis a Snickers, not a sprint. There is ample time for a slip up. Baseball springs to mind. Almost any of us could easily score 1 or even 0 on it and lose loads of ground in one fell swoop. Australia worries me as well, although at least we know there will be no questions on culture :lol:


Australia worries me the most because that's the topic I missed last month...I don't have a clue what to expect :?

I offer explanation. I do seem to be a very unlucky guesser though. 99 times out of 100 the ones I get right are the ones I genuinely know the answer to.


Today being an illustration of that. 6/10 in 104.

Oh that's just lovely that is. I've noticed a trend with you. When you do poorly, you attack me. :nanana: I see you tried to think like me today and got that wrong too. It goes thusly:

Question 1: What colour is orange?

Well that's a peculiar question. It sounds awful tricky to me. The obvious answer would be orange. But maybe they're not talking about the colour but are talking about the fruit. Lets have a look at the options...

-Red
-Yellow
-Orange
-Purple

Well I can cross out Purple for a start because that's just ridiculous. If they're talking fruit, it could be red or orange. If they're talking colour, it's orange. Obviously. Unless they're trying to trick me. :evil: So I can eliminate yellow. But yellow is kind of pale orange. Red is kind of dark orange. Orange is still too obvious. I better dunk my biscuit before my tea gets too cold. *dunk*.... and pause...two....three....four and remove. *nibble*nibble*nibble* I'll eliminate yellow. That leaves me with red and orange. I like red as it covers both the colour and the fruit if you think about it. :D

Question 2: How many stars are on the United States flag?

Well that's strange. It's quite a deviation from the first question. What topic are we on today? Probably History. There'll be a musical question later on. Anyway, do they mean how many stars now? How many originally? It could either be 50 or 13. If the person who made this quiz is from Texas they probably think it's the State flag with only one on it. Lets have a look at who made up the quiz. Bubba Joe from Weeziana? :shock: Good grief. Does he even know? How is it that he even owns a computer. I think I'll change my first answer to orange. *dunk*.... and pause....two...three...four.... and remove. *nibble*nibble*nibble*. Alright, lets look at the answers.

-13
-50
-100
-0

Well I can take out 0 for a start because all the flags have at least one. If Bubba was sipping on moonshine when he wrote the quiz he could've been seeing double and counted 100. I'll eliminate 13 because he no doubt didn't get no schoolin' done in the South. 50 or 100. Drunk or sober. I say 100. Did I change my other answer to red like I wanted?

I'm trying to play psychological mind games with you Bouncy. You are my closest rival (for the moment) so I need to get under your skin.

That's a change. Usually you're trying to get into my knickers. I figured you were trying to sleep your way to the top.
