6/12 - and a couple I missed were obvious if I'd only read all 4 choices (idiot)

1min 53

253 ignominious UFOs.

No BSG, how the heck do you read the questions in 55 seconds? And Gob in 48? That's not possible.

For the first time ever, I got all 12 right; it took me 1 minute and 46 seconds, and I got 494 points. WOOHOO!!! Drinks are on me!

I guess I might as well retire now...

I'm a very fast reader, Meade. Have been since childhood. I wouldn't falsify my results.

No, I didn't think you would. But I'm a speed reader (down the center and ignore the left/right words) and I couldn't read those that fast. Amazing!
