In the weekly trivia game, how it is possible to gain more points. What is needed? At one time I knew that by submitting a question could raise your score. How can it be done now?

Is there a penalty on Who Am I, or are more points earned if answered before all of the clues are submitted? Do you lose points if you take your two shots at it?

I am actually asking for a friend who plays both games.

Snowbird, this is your bailiwick. I think your answers would be the most definitive.

Hi Sandalwood,
I think way back in the beginning of the weeklies, Terry awarded a point or so if he used a player-submitted question. That has fallen by the wayside as far as points go, but if you've submitted a question and it is used, then you already know the answer and you don't have to look it up.
As for the Who Am I, scoring is awarded based on how many clues you require to guess the answer: Monday (1 clue) 30 points, Tuesday (2 clues) 22 points, Wednesday (3 clues) 15 points, Thursday (4 clues) 10 points, Friday (5 clues) 5 points. Nothing gets taken away if you guess wrong, but you only have two guesses. If you think it is a toss up between two people on Monday and you guess both, let's say you think it is either Daniel Boone or Davy Crocket-- your first guess is Boone and that's wrong, so you take another guess (both on Monday) and pick Crocket -- if that is right, you get the 30 points. It depends on which day you guess the right answer as to how many points you get.
In the weekly, you get five (5) points for each correct answer of the 20 questions. If you have a good question and can back it up with a URL or two, by all means, submit it.
I hope this clears things up for you. Tell all your friends to come and play -- at funtrivia, the more the merrier!!

Thank you much Snowbird, I am going to e-mail this to my friend.
