I'm giving myself 5/10 for today. Strong showing from Tamada, but a way to go to catch up with the top 3.

Good participation for the quiz, increasing daily, could be up for 'thread of 2022' at the UD Map awards ceremony to be held at the next AGM.

If it does win, who will collect the award on behalf of the thread?

[Earnest]

DooDoo in her best party frock.

The trick is to only answer the questions that you know you are 100% correct on. Ending an answer with a '?' or adding 'I think' or 'maybe' leaves the door open for other wanabe Mensa's* suffering from Google withdrawal to jump in with the correct answer and appear more clever than they think they are.

Another trick that I admit to using a lot, is to not not answer all questions correctly, staying away from a "podium finish" and thus leave the also-rans* a chance to appear more clever than they think they are.

*You know who you are.

[Earnest]

Not me, Mensa knocked me back, I wasn't bright enough.
