Hope you enjoy, he says! Enjoy.. Enjoy... I'm postively fizzing with excitement grin What a wonderful idea. Thank you so much to Kyle, Wes, Terry and all the authors involved for all the hard work that must have gone into this game. I can't wait for the next 23.8 hours to pass laugh

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks to all the people involved in putting this together. I'm really enjoying it. It forces people out of their comfort zones(depending on how badly they want those new badges)which is always a good thing. Broadening my horizons whether I wanted to or not. The things we'll do for badges.

I'm horrible at geo LOL! I'm stuck at Leg 1 - 4 until tomorrow, but I just wanted to say

WOW

(what an INCREDIBLE amount of work has gone into this - you notice I didn't use the word "amazing"? lol)

The "great" quiz race is a seriously modest title for this undertaking/creation, in my estimation.

Amen to all of the comments so far, and I too am stuck at the same place everyone else is. Luckily it is only 18 minutes til I get another stab at it! Thanks Kyle, Wes and Terry and all of the Race authors. What a great way to give these quizzes added exposure. Loving this!

Quite honestly, I don't know what all this fuss is about... In fact I'm somewhat peeved! I mean how am I expected to do this quiz as well? There are only 24 hours in a day and one needs to work, sleep and eat AND try to work through all the other lovely challenges in this site... It's just not fair and I do wish that the rest of you wouldn't encourage Terry, Wes and Kyle to keep coming up with these additional attractions!!

Shame on you all...

(It's quite brilliant though really LOL)

As Maxwell Smart would always say "Missed it by that much!" Fortunately I can say "Made it by that much!" Whew! What an experience smile

A terrific game! Hope I'm still saying that at the end of it!

Well done on creating such a fun badge chase, and thanks for including Australia so early on. Fortunately I'd done most of them smile

Looking forward to tomorrow ..... I think!

I must admit, my heart sank when I started - not another Gold Member "Geography" Challenge to add to the "World" and "Bus Ride" ones! But I'm sure there will be more variety later.

Don't worry, it closely follows the Amazing author race, so you'll visit plenty of other categories.

Why did it have to be the World Quiz (my worst game)? Couldn't I have gotten to Level 2 at least?

Thank you to those involved in putting the race together. It's actually a lot of fun. I look forward to getting past this roadblock.

Please form an orderly queue. I've brought a flask of coffee and sandwiches, so I'm ok. Perhaps I should have brought a portaloo as well.

Since I'm so awful at the World Geo game, it's quite possible I will be stuck at 1-4 forever. May as well make the best of a bad situation. Sooo, I'm building a permanent bar and grill. May need to come to a financial agreement with surdoux regarding his portaloo until proper permits come through, just not sure I want to shake on the deal (giggles).

Still loving the race, but one question. Are all pit stops going to be 24 hours? Could some be 12 or even fewer?

That's a shame, I'd just managed to fit a coin slot mechanism to my portable loo, I was hoping to make my fortune.
