Did you update leg 4, Wes? Because I'm pretty sure my time was faster than 2:33.

Mariamir, I didn't get anything from Kyle with regards to a second quiz from your pair.

I guess i must have far too many slow twitch muscle fibers to be an effective sprinter :) I just completed leg 6 but it is in the sports category so it might be stuck in the queue for a while. I also wrote my first quiz with 25 questions. I guess i am just determined to finish dead last in the sprint :)

I must admit to some serendipity on last week's quiz. Because I couldn't write it for several days, I saw three others come online, and had a pretty good idea what the requirement was going to be. I was even able to mull over possible titles and approaches in my head, saving probably about an hour of time. Then I chose to do FITB, with the same hint for every question (type it once, copy it to all the other hint boxes) - that meant no time spent coming up with viable MC options, and typing them in. Since the topic was familiar phrases, it wasn't very time consuming to write up the extra information - no lengthy research required. I will never again write a quiz that quickly!
This week, when I click the link in a few minutes, I expect to be back to my usual 2-3 hours for a focused quiz write.

My K zeugma quiz has been submitted. It's a Brain Teaser, my first, so I'm nervous. I clicked K before the next clues came out. For obvious reasons, I can't say this in the K thread, so is my title okay, Kyle?

You'd make an excellent army officer, Looney Tunes! Foresight and planning, so the attack, when it happens, will be swift, brutal and decisive.

Just submitted on behalf of mlcmlc and I. The time would have to be a personal best for me I think.

Coachpauly, you have to go much more slowly if you want to ride the 'autobus' with eburge and I! (the autobus or 'gruppetto' is the group of riders in the Tour de France - or Giro d'Italia - that aren't going to win the race but persevere with slower times determined to reach the end) :-)

I am taking the slow boat to China. It is less strenuous than following a group of riders in the Tour de France :)

I took the slowboat to China and ended up in Hong Kong. Incidentally, my slow quiz times are a severe blow to my ego. :) I am the National track coach in HK and my mens 4x100m team is currently ranked 3rd in the world behind Jamaica and USA in 2012. So you see i am very not used to doing anything slow *grins* Thanks for the moral support everyone.

I've been having internet problems - slow connection, losing connection altogether - so will not be starting this leg until this is sorted out. 'They' are supposedly coming tomorrow morning, so I may be able to get going then.

Mariamir, I know you had a second one done, but Kyle will have to verify it (he's the one to check compliance with clues according to our workshare on this game) so I can't score it until I have his report (which I have just asked him for :) )

Mariamir-- your title is fine, but your score won't be logged in until it's online.

Kyle darling - on the Synopsis thread, you have the link next to my name leading to the Julius Ceasar quiz rather than my quiz :-D Mine is the Patrick Tilley "Amtrak Wars" one.
