    Interesting question about cosmology...

    IBM did for me.

    I asked my husband the answer, he’s not usually around when I do the quiz.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    I have only my cat to ask, and she had no idea 😂 and no interest tbh.

    Yep, I can still do maths. *shrug*
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    The answer to question 10 today might be something of a moot point ... :naughty:
  • Jonah the WhaleJonah the Whale Shipmate
    Today was tough, but I think I had my best ever help from the guessometer today. Two complete guesses and three more uncertainties. All neatly completed by our good old friend for a 10/10.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    I need to get a copy of the US version of Monopoly!
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Grr! I got all the ones I wasn’t sure about right and taking an age, then slipped up by not reading the last one properly! Mind you, I think that’s a US thing - not heard it in the U.K.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I goofed on the last one too - I think it is a US thing, but it's not as if the question hasn't come up before ... and before that ... and before that ... :mrgreen:
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    Yes, I think I flunked that one too.
  • Pearl B4 SwinePearl B4 Swine Shipmate
    Isn't there a special prize for slowest "10" ? I don't always get "10", but hardly ever miss being slowest. All in good fun.
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    I usually do mine on an iPad but I think I’d be quicker if I was using the pc as I wouldn’t have to scroll.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    My times are much better when I'm using a computer with a mouse rather than a Tablet.

    Those two that I always get wrong - I got them wrong again. :rage:

    I also have that Sunday problem- I blame it on never having gone to Sunday school.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I haven't got that excuse ... :blush:

    Then again, sometimes I get questions about American television programmes that I've never watched right.

    Thank you, Guessometer!
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    🤷‍♀️American sport!
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    I have a fuzzy head this morning and made a stupid mistake on a question I know the answer to.
  • orfeoorfeo Suspended
    edited August 2020
    Well that was dreadful. I didn't read one properly, but there was also another where I knew it was total pot luck on a very American question.

    Top of the pile yesterday, we'll see if I'm last today with 7/10.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    😕I always get the Old Faithful question wrong: I think it’s the right answer but convince myself that’s what I choose last time 🙄
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    I have no idea at all of what the first question was about who was blah blah’s sister: bleh blah, blih blah, bloh blah or bluh blah?

    Guessometer missed!
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Confused by the Doodies again!
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    As a relative newcomer to the quiz, it was my first encounter.
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    Arghhh - read the question!
    I got the mystery letter question right though.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Brought down yet again by an Old Testament villain ... :grimace:
  • Pearl B4 SwinePearl B4 Swine Shipmate
    I just love the Sunday quizzes. But WOW! Look at Doone - Great, D

    Thank you very much, I think I’m more stunned than you 😅!

    My problem is, I don’t agree with that answer. If they’re asking the question they appear to be asking. So I always choose the one I believe to be correct, because I can’t remember their answer.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    🙄 read the question properly McMaverick!
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    I’m no good on actors, and the Guessometer didn’t help.
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Have I been bottom of the list twice this month? I think so!
    Yay.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I am a piglet of very little brain - I always get the Prayer of Manasseh wrong.
  • Pearl B4 SwinePearl B4 Swine Shipmate
    Hey-- In my youth, which was in the prior century, I thought Manasseh was a place on Long Island NY, or in New Jersey. Mz Guess-O'Meter guided me to the right answer. Next time I will have forgotten. Person, place or thing..... who knows?
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I suspect he may have been a bloke in the Old Testament, and as regulars here will know, I'm a bit rubbish at the Old Testament ... :mrgreen:

    I was also a bit rubbish today, having changed a right guess to a wrong one. :(
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    America did for me again. I should have known that, though. Probably did.
  • orfeoorfeo Suspended
    I don't know if anyone else had noticed this, but I'm good at 2 categories. My recent wins are only on certain days of the week:

    Wednesday 2 September
    Saturday 5 September
    Wednesday 9 September
    Saturday 12 September
    Wednesday 16 September

    I'm not entirely sure whether I need to keep playing the rest of the week to keep me warmed up...
  • PriscillaPriscilla Shipmate
    Changed a right to a wrong ☹️
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    No good on American radio and TV trivia from half a century ago!!
  • orfeoorfeo Suspended
    Clearly, the best way to bugger up my theory was to publish it. But it was a nice theory to bugger up!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Bloody American TV again ... :rage:
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    Beverly Hillbillies? I remember the opening theme song and film sequence (B&W IIRC) from my childhood - and a phrase rang a bell.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Why would I know anything about hypnosis??? :/
  • PriscillaPriscilla Shipmate
    Piglet, I guessed that one correctly but misguessed the Apollo one.

    Well, I personally think Candace has social anxiety not xenophobia.
    (This is not a giveaway, this is part of the question)

    A few things to come unstuck with if you’re not familiar with the USA in a number of ways. Below is not totally revealing but I’ve put it as a spoiler in case anyone is worried.
    There’s clearly a difference in how pencils are viewed between the U.K. & USA 😂
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    I agree!

  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    Complete guesses about pencils, video stores and the song. All unknown to this UK-ian.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I was tripped up by the song too - I'll have to file it in my "remember that next time it comes up" drawer.

    Which doesn't actually exist, and even if it did, I'd probably have lost the key ... :blush:
