Re: Global trivia quiz.
 
A new game of Global Trivia started tonight, for anyone who is interested.

It started sometime later than normal, but will apparently keep to it's usual playing times of...

02.00-10.00
10.00-18.00
18.00-02.00 GMT

I'm so chuffed, after snailing along in the latter section recently, I've graduated to level 2 on my first play.:)

Yeah, those first few games in Global Challenge do blow by! One method I use to get a higher ranking: When I'm close to the end on one level, I play the Category with the highest number of "lower level" opponents. This is usually General. That will give you higher ranking points and you also won't have to get ranked in that Category against the better folks in the next level.

I also hold off playing Brain Twist or Impossible for the same reason. That way, I get advanced to the next level with my best categories yet to play. Therefore standing a better chance against these higher ranked guys.

My gosh that sounds wicked confusing eh? Sorry about that! Just trying to get my Lancashire Mates any "tips of the trade" that I use.

Good advice, unfortunately I don't have any 'best catagories'. I can do well, then the next time I play a catagory it's pants.

I really wish there was a proper Arts quiz, or if Literature was actually about literature, and not comic books.

Deep breath, rant over.:D

I'm so mad with myself.:mad:

I had to play Global Trivia before 10am this morning, and did quite well to say I was still half asleep. I thought I'd look at today's Brain Twist, because I need those extra points. Somehow yesterday I passed that sudoku quiz, and got the bonus points. Today's was fairly easy, words without vowels. You need to get over fifty percent for the points, so at 13/25 I submitted the quiz.

'You have failed'.

Arggghhh!!!

Note to self, never play Brain Twist until coffee has kicked in...and double check all spellings!:D

Does anyone know how to boost your Bonus Point score? Which games should I be playing to up that score? Any pointers? :)

Playing the Global Trivia game with asterixes helps get more bonus points, also playing the hourly games.
