Obscure Researcher Badge

Next to the Endurance Badge (which I finally won a while ago), the Obscure Researcher Badge has been the one that I've worked the hardest to get. Just after the Badge was announced I had a quiz of 14/15 in 138 seconds. So close. If I had correctly recalled Beethoven's year of death, I would have been one of the first to win the OR Badge. Instead, I've come very close many times since, but until this morning I've always been one or more off or seconds (or minutes) too long. During the 2 AM Obscure quiz the stars aligned and I got a 15/15 in 285 seconds. Success! Now, if I can hold on for the rest of the month I can pick up the Obscure Monthly Badge.

 

A Lucky Duck or Perfect Score would really make the month. Oh well, perserverance is definitely the only way to go.

 

Happy Badge Trivia!

  • Congrats, J! This is one of many I will never have! You work hard, and you get what you're after! I'm very impressed.

    LD is not earned, but surprised by.

    Best of 'luck' in all you do!
