    Yes, was it Joseph of Cyrene or Simon of Arimathea? I always get them mixed up.

    New page, new link.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Fine with the fil-lum (thank you, Guessometer!); stumped by the biscuit bloke.

    It's not often that nobody gets 10/10.

    slow down, read the answers properly :facepalm:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    I had the correct answer, but the Guessometer whispered sweet nothings in my ear and made me change it. Bad Guessometer.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Crikey! Second place on a Sunday! :smiley:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Brain not in gear today at all.
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Woohoo! Near the end of the day and I'm at the top! :joy:
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    Long questions are not good for those of us with neurological processing issues!
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    I hate the ones which are really long winded questions that actually have easy answers.
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    This is a conspiracy!

    Two questions on TV shows NEVER shown in the UK, ever.
    1 question on US university sports teams. :rage:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Too right! :rage:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Second place - that's better! :smiley:
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    I've just plumbed a new depth on Bible trivia :cry:

    Ah well, I've had a busy day so perhaps I can blame my lamentable performance on feeling completely knackered.

    After Palm Sunday services, you're entitled to be knackered. I've spent the afternoon vegging on the sofa with a generously-proportioned teddy-bear.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    My time might have been a bit better if someone hadn't come in and I had to be polite to him.

    (It wasn't D. - I'm using the computer in his office to kill time before this evening's service and one of his colleagues popped his head round the door).
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Somebody has to be the bottom of the pile. Might as well be me today!! :wink:
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Shock horror! Full marks and quickest so far.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Well done - I managed 10/10 but I'm no threat to you for speed!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Changed a right to a wrong (again) and got that question about the spy wrong (again).

    Happy Easter! :rage:
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    I've gone from highest to lowest - but an 8 for me on the Bible trivia counts as reasonable.

    Happy Easter :grin:
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Argh! Trying to go faster meant I didn’t read a couple of the longer questions correctly! 😂
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Ooh - third place! That'll do nicely. :smiley:

    I knew about Hitler but not the effects of food poisoning, not sure what that says about me...

    Bugger - spent too long thinking about question 1, and still got it wrong.

    Bad Guessometer!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    The Guessometer thoroughly redeemed itself today.

    Good Guessometer!

    <offers large dram>
  • Tree BeeTree Bee Shipmate
    Piglet, thanks for passing it on, I’m gobsmacked by how well it worked for me!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    When it's good, it's very, very good. :)
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Chuffing chess ... :rage:
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Is nothing! I've moved from 5th to 10th in the space of a day - all thanks to a moronic cartoon :cry:
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    I thought the car mascot question was too obvious, so went for...the wrong answer!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    If the quizmasters are going to put a foreign city in one of their questions, they ought make it one they can spell.

    Just saying ...
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    I saw the question and thought "isn't this the one that Piglet always complains about?" :wink:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    And you'd be absolutely right.

    It's not often you see Anna Baptist down that end of the scoreboard!

  • Anna_BaptistAnna_Baptist Shipmate
    Yes, I have completely lost my mojo this month.

    I've bruised the foot which operates the Guessometer.

    And I'm far too embarrassed to say which question I got wrong today.

    And usually I'd be looking forward to tomorrow's Bible Trivia - but I had my worst performance was last week and I'm nervous that I'm making it a habit.

    Enjoy my discomfort while you can Piglet - my one consolation is that it makes you smile.

    Serves you right - you're not supposed to kick it! :anguished:

    Don't worry, AB - I'm usually prostrating myself in awe at your genius! :mrgreen:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I love it when the Guessometer nudges me to change a wrong answer to a right one! :smiley:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    See my previous post ... :smiley:

    Large dram for the Guessometer!
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    I've got 'Murrican sport questions right two days on the bounce! My flabber has never been so ghasted :grin:
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    I do so much better on a Sunday! Not surprising, really.
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    Guessometer was not my friend today

    I'm not sure US-specific news from over 25 years ago should be considered an "easy" question
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    I’m lost when the questions veer to the ‘other side’ of the Atlantic.
  • McMaverickMcMaverick Shipmate
    Who’s the car mechanic and the woman involved?! No idea!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I've no idea either. I had a bit of luck with the Guessometer's random memory: we've had that question before.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    It's not often I'm faster than a speeding Jedi ... :mrgreen:
  • Wet KipperWet Kipper Shipmate
    those 2 men got me again in the last question
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Bible Trivia and a solid 8 - not good but not so bad either.
