The last sentence made me see red as you can tell. Went back asap, time still 168 secs! would have been well under a minute without that.

That really is a bummer.

I can imagine -the one I got wrong I had seen before but couldn't remember what it should have been -probably made the same wrong answer as before! Which my memory was sharper at times -will remember the answer now but it'll probably never come up again

I always play early and have (touchwood!) never got caught out by these problems -I have the advantage of time being an hour ahead WRT you English players

See you're getting into the American jargon though Sue could it be that you are clueing into the Yankee Trivia influence?
