Anonymous Source Posts: 2 Joined: 8 Aug 2008  | At least one of those questions is now out of date, and there is another one where I am convinced the answer was not in the available options. Are the answers going to be released? | ||||||||||||||||
Paperboy  Posts: 22 Joined: 10 Feb 2008   | I must say, I liked how one of the questions is answered by another question. Pity you can't go back. | ||||||||||||||||

No, the answers will not be released, but if you would be kind enough to PM me, I'll double check everything and update the answers AFTER the trivia time is over. If there is a problem, I want everyone having the same one. :) But yes, please send me what you think the answer should be in PM. It is greatly appreciated! | ||||||||||||||||

Copy Clerk Posts: 67 Joined: 29 Sep 2007  | Ack. That was fun, but it felt too much like one of my college finals that I hadn't studied for. | ||||||||||||||||
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2786 Joined: 14 Jan 2008  | Fun, fun, fun. I didn't do very well, but the fun is in the competition right. | ||||||||||||||||

Brand Manager Posts: 617 Joined: 8 Oct 2007 | Remember, there are 2 more trivia's during the GamerLympics! One is about movies and the other is TV! | ||||||||||||||||
Red Guard  Posts: 1243 Joined: 21 Feb 2008    | Wow, I had to guess more of those than I thought I would. Fun though, and I did pretty well it would seem. | ||||||||||||||||
Copy Clerk Posts: 67 Joined: 29 Sep 2007 | Also... I was fourth for a whole minute there! So no medal for me... :( | ||||||||||||||||
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1634 Joined: 10 Mar 2008   | I scored 57 / 125. Wow, I knew i did horribly but I didn't think i'd be that bad! It was still fun though :) | ||||||||||||||||

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3407 Joined: 4 Jul 2008  | I scored *Drum Roll starts* 68/125 *Drum Roll ends* I did horrible, some of it now that I think about it I should have answered differently. | ||||||||||||||||
Brand Manager Posts: 617 Joined: 8 Oct 2007 | I wanted to let everyone know that you can go BACK to the quiz to get an updated leaderboard after you have taken it. Just click on the same link and when you hit submit, it will update the board for you. Just thought you should know since people have been asking. | ||||||||||||||||
IT Director  Posts: 837 Joined: 13 Jun 2002    | 80/125. Woot! I'm sure I won't stay in 4th, but it's a respectable showing. I can't win anwyay ;) | ||||||||||||||||

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2281 Joined: 29 Nov 2007   | Shame to be heaped upon my name! I only scored a 71! | ||||||||||||||||
Beat Writer Posts: 157 Joined: 11 Dec 2007 | hehe, looking back at the scores, it seems I failed it the fastest (can anyone beat 57 at 10:10?) | ||||||||||||||||
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2786 Joined: 14 Jan 2008 |
Right here. 55 at 18:30 I failed more but you done it quicker | ||||||||||||||||

I'm sure it's the same one I'm thinking of, and in that case, you may well have the wrong answer as well - it's actually British and it's from 1951. Damn it anyway. Somebody called on the phone during the thing, and my broadband doesn't work with the phone, essentially meaning that somebody else messed up my attempt. 66/125, and I didn't even get to finish. | ||||||||||||||||

Bah! Damn you and your getting one more question right than me. But I get extra coolness points for finishing the quiz in 8:08 on 8/8/08, right? :) | ||||||||||||||||

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2205 Joined: 21 Jan 2008  | Argh, I've done miserably. 50... for shame. | ||||||||||||||||

Beat Writer  Posts: 126 Joined: 6 Apr 2008 | 80 points... well, sixth place when I finished isn't bad I guess. | ||||||||||||||||
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1939 Joined: 4 May 2008    |
Almost as many coolness points as I get from my amazing nanomachines. | ||||||||||||||||
Copy Clerk Posts: 105 Joined: 12 Oct 2006 | Hey... I totally missed the boat on this one, but I would still like to take the quiz (without submitting the score, of course). Any chance of enabling that? | ||||||||||||||||
