McMaverick

Shopping streets in America? 🤷🏻‍♀️

TheOrganist

Top of the pile for the moment.
@McMaverick You need to watch more romcoms!

The_Riv

Had to re-skim TWO questions today.

Smudgie

Drat - if only I'd been born American.

la vie en rouge

Can we stop the clock on this month now please? No?

The_Riv

Slow *and* missed one. Oof.

Piglet

I love it when I change a wrong random guess to a right random guess. Thank you, blessèd Guessometer!

Piglet

I don't think this has ever happened before - I got 10/10 in a faster time than Anna B!

la vie en rouge

And four days into the month I'm still top of the pile @Anna_Baptist are you quite well?

Anna_Baptist

Thanks for the concern @la vie en rouge. I'm a little tired after a family holiday, but hope to be back on form shortly to grind out another winning month.

The_Riv

I've reached a new low -- 7 correct. I think I need to take tomorrow off.

Piglet

I was, briefly, third in the monthly leaderboard (probably the highest I've ever been) but then I was scuppered by that fecking actress again.

McMaverick

American car makes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anna_Baptist

Normal service has been resumed. link

la vie en rouge

I knew it couldn't last.

McMaverick

Changed a right to a wrong in the odd American saying question. 😕

Piglet

Quite.

Piglet

That's better.

jedijudy

I always get that one wrong.

BroJames

I don’t know how that happened, but apparently I took 32,591 seconds to answer the quiz! 5hrs 43mins!

BroJames

Too much trying for speed. Not enough reading the question,

BroJames

Last question - ‘none of the above’ here in the UK. But that answer wasn’t available!

TheOrganist

Remembered a wrong that is right in time (IYSWIM).

Piglet

I can truthfully say that I've never had that on a baked potato.

Anna_Baptist

Not a good day for the Baptists.

la vie en rouge

Clearly we need remedial Sunday school.

Sarasa

I'm always surprised how much knowledge I've retained from Sunday School and my church primary school!

Heavenlyannie

Some of us never went to Sunday school.

Anna_Baptist

I still have my certificates from the annual Scripture Union Bible knowledge exams

BroJames

I’m very curious @Anna_Baptist and @la vie en rouge to know which one you missed on, and whether it was the same for both of you.

McMaverick

Guessing the logo of an American store got others…

Heavenlyannie

I always fail on that one too.

Piglet

Crikey - second place, for now!

Sometimes it pays to have lived in North America ...

Huz and Buz did for me. What about you @la vie en rouge ?

la vie en rouge

Minor prophets.

BroJames

Partly I remembered Huz and Buz, but partly they seemed to me the most credible option as (Biblical) Hebrew (versions of) names. I’ve no idea why I remember the number of minor prophets.

Piglet

It seems to me that if a Biblical number isn't 3, 7 or 40, it'll probably be 12!

BroJames

I was rubbish today

McMaverick

😣 It didn’t register my last answer! 😡

TheOrganist

Better. Not brilliant but a definite improvement.

la vie en rouge

Fat fingers

Piglet

Fifth place again - I really don't think I'll be able to keep this up!

TheOrganist

Slooow - temporarily mesmerised by mis-spelling of Indian leader's surname.

TheOrganist

The Guessometer is up and running again.

Signaller

I'll swing for that wretched reindeer one of these days...

Heavenlyannie

Argh, my last answer didn’t register.

Piglet

Bollocks - memory malfunction!
