Ponster's Quiz - Who's got the brains?

    Because I had most of the afternoon to kill I decided to make a table of the most successful players who have so far entered the first 15 of my quizzes.

    For each quiz I only counted the top 10 scores. Then with some clever maths involving how many times you finished in the top ten and how many times you won I came up with the table below.

    I'm missing 2 people (mid-table) that Excel decided to delete but I hope to find you over the weekend :)

    Names in BOLD are past winners



    So far Spike440 is the clear winner entering a record 12/15 quizzes and winning twice. And special mention for Mark Hamill who has entered 5 times, is in 8th place yet has never won a round.

    Hi, I was wondering. How does the quiz work? I looked at a complete of threads and I couldn't figure it out. Obviously you have to give an answer but do you get more points for guesisng something popular or something no one else has mentioned?

    Thanks.

    The more people who give the same answer the more points you get. So putting down what you think is correct isn't always the way to get top points. You need to say what you think most of the others will put.
