Make sure your Guessometer is calibrated!

Argh, misread one.

Quite.

TheOrganist

My best time ever 😯

Piglet

Well done! I didn't do badly, by my standards, but I scrolled on too quickly and had to go back, which slowed me down.

I know, excuses, excuses ...

Heavenlyannie

Misread a question again. I obviousness need more sleep.

BroJames

No help from the Guessometer today, and I was slow.

Heavenlyannie

I’m also apparently unable to type this morning as that was the second typo I’ve made.

Piglet

Well done, Guessometer - I've finally sorted out the Medes and the Persians ...

McMaverick

First time in ages I have topped the leader board…won’t last long with my time but nice for a moment! 😊

Signaller

Ludicrous coffee snobbery!

TheOrganist

I have never heard that word applied to coffee.

BroJames

Me neither

I have, although I've never used it myself - I think it's probably a cross-Pond thing.

Anna_Baptist

I obviously needed more coffee today.

Total brain fade.

McMaverick

Thank you guessometer! Very slow time.

TheOrganist

Bearing in mind I didn't understand 2 of the questions...

BroJames

Good grief! Guessometer functional today, albeit rather slow. Just waiting now to be displaced by @Anna_Baptist.

Piglet

Second place - thank you, Guessometer!

No: I'm on a bad run this week.

Signaller

Extraordinary! Thank you, guessometer

Priscilla

Lousy time but the guessometer worked well for me.

Piglet

Accuracy: good
Speed: a bit rubbish

agingjb

Most people seem to be able to get times that I could not achieve even if I didn't have to read the questions. It is a different game for me, that I would do well, for my health, to avoid in future. I am too slow:

All Hail the Baptist Superpower!

BroJames

The Guessometer’s not into very niche rodent questions.

Signaller

I got that one wrong last time

la vie en rouge

Fat fingers

Anna_Baptist

Brain fade again - and a slow fade

Piglet

Guessometer - excellent.
Speedometer - a bit rubbish.

TheOrganist

Well done @la vie en rouge - close but no cigar.

la vie en rouge

I would rather hear

I married you because you have some meat on your bones

Sarasa

Got off to a rather better start this month than I have in a while.

TheOrganist

Only three points for poor Sid when he got a full house for Bible trivia - is outrage ☹

la vie en rouge

Is a question about execution methods entirely in good taste?

Piglet

I'm temporarily (probably very temporarily) third on the monthly leaderboard - pass the oxygen!

No, especially when I got it wrong!

TheOrganist

Changed a right to a wrong.
