Hi all

Glad to be a member of FunTrivia and take part in the games!!

Just one question - how is it possible for someone to answer 10 questions correctly in the 'Fill me in' game when it takes me longer than that to even read the questions never mind answer them??

Is it some form of skullduggery or are some people blessed with the art of speed reading coupled with the ability to touch type?

I mean no offence by this - it is a genuine query

Hi Dave, I suffer from the same 'slow' speed problem and have resigned myself to that fact. It still doesn't keep me from enjoying FunTrivia and taking part in the games, but I don't try to play many of the timed quizzes. Good luck! You may soon learn the speed secret.

Hi Dave
It's not so much 'speed-reading', as some categories come up so often you can answer them really quickly. However, in the FITB quiz, I would say it's essential to be able to touch type. I can't, and have resigned myself to never getting that badge unless everyone else falls off their keyboards and breaks their wrists!

Hi, to dave2297, from sunny Southern California.

The longer you play the quizzes, the quicker you will recognize the same questions circulating in the pool of questions - but that won't happen tomorrow. ;-)

Play on, MacDuff! Best wishes.

Hi Dave, Welcome from South Africa

It's true that the answers of the quizzes become more familiar over time but the trick is trying to remember what you answered and if you were right. I get interrupted a lot by kids and animals so I'm usually just happy not to be last.
