New personal best —
10/12, and 456 of those gilded manhole covers.
(eta:  this would have been good enough to get me on the leaderboard around 30th spot — at this time — but I refuse to pay $50 annually just to look at their copy)

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

WOOHOO!!!!! For the first time ever, I got all 12 right! (I admit that a couple were guesses, but still...)

497 Frisbees. (I guess I could've maybe got a few more of 'em if I'd gone a bit faster, but hey, slow & steady works for me. I never did finish tests like the SAT before the time was up, but my scores were usually pretty good anyway.)

I thought I was doing very well on time and correct answers, but wound up with 9/12 and only 363 bit coins. Quite a bit below average this time. There was only one question that I simply blew by not thinking. The other two misses were guesses.

9/12, and 407 little gold-plated gizmos.  Just barely above average (400), but I did hammer the Slate guy (who only had 309).
