Congrats 2D... Well Played

If it weren't for them pesky Sports Questions though... ***shakes fist***

Although can't complain about sharing 2nd place...

Great game Kol, was a lot of fun. And nice to know that the amount of time I spend playing Trivia Apps isn't a complete waste of time.

Thanks for running Kol, good mix of questions there and plenty of things I didn't know that I'll try and keep stored in the 'trivia' part of my brain.

Congrats 2D and osh for your wins....although I'm convinced everybody who scored higher than me cheated! :pac:

Thanks, Kolido, I enjoyed that.

I was iffy about round 7.

Fk sake, Honolulu???

Having managed to negotiate the curve ball that it was Hawaii in question, I failed to notice "capital" in the question.

Kinda sums up my whole game, tbh

Well done the winners, and I promise to pay more attention to the questions next time....... (speed submitting an entire round at 11.59am for a 12md deadline was never going to end well)

Thanks for the game, Kolido

I never knew that a British PM was assassinated. I've already forgotten his name as well.
The 'which year' questions are infuriating: I was out by one year on 4 or 5 of them :rolleyes:

Thankfully I wasn't playing as I would be the same as yourself, have a fair idea but be out by one or two years.

I have a bone to pick about the question: which well known forum games user introduced a bagful of games to FG.
Bagful...Baggly. If that isn't entrapment then I don't know what is

Late to the proceedings here. Very good game, well run Rikand. I think the split into the two groups worked well. Congrats to our winners and runners-up.
