Perhaps this is one area where my age is slowing me down?
Only just started playing, after a break of many months.

I stopped because I'd noticed my hand was slowing down, when using the mouse.

Parkinson's first affected my right side. Being right handed, I taught myself to use my left, but now it's affecting that side too. It upset me, noticing a difference in how quickly I could use the mouse.

Happily I can read really fast. My best ever time was 24 seconds, for answering ten questions.

With time you do get used to how the questions are worded. Which can help you skip some of the guff that comes with some questions.
