Slow, yes...but always taking the time to read the entire question plus all 4 possible answers did get me 10 correct answers. I'd rather be right than speedy. 8-)

I was so far below average it ain't even funny. I wonder why it is that I so often think "Oh it must be that" and then I pick the other thing that it MIGHT just be... only to have picked the wrong one of two.

I was half way through when I was interrupted by the hounds going crazy at the arrival of the UPS man...

So since I already know half the answers, I'll have to pass this week...

Gob, I got the same score but it took me about 25 seconds more - as a USian, I was embarrassed to post the result.

Just not having much time for the news anymore . . .

Pretty pathetic...

9/12 in a minute 51, and I only did that well because they asked one question twice...

6 right in 56 seconds... the double-up sure helped because I got it wrong the first time! (LJ - unlike you, I'm just pathetic)

(And you're right econo - that was a real good joke!)
