Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Thanks for keeping everyone updated. I've been remiss as I've been away. So, is Rindy the only survivor so far? I'll be better next week I hope. Please keep the updates coming.

Brian

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Made it through to today's final, and was happy to score another 19/20 giving me 1812 points, so fingers crossed it beats the score of my Norwegian opponent.:rolleyes::)

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Way to go little Bruv. You've done the family and Accyweb proud! That will be a tough score for Sven de Norvay to beat eh?

So glad your able to play both fast and well. Must be having a good success over the PD (let's just call it "The ****-off Disease").

Keep Smiling All!

Brian

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I'm making a slow start in the AW quiz though.:eek:

It is daft, but because Parkinson's Disease does slow you down, when I do well in the quizes it does make me think that all the damn drugs may just be doing their job.:D

Re: Global trivia quiz.

Well done Mate!

Brian

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Cheers Big Bro.:)

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Enjoy your success while it lasts. By winning it boosts you up against some pretty tough competition. Heck, the way I've been playing we'll bump into eachother on my way down.:p

Brian

I did try to give you a bit of Victory Karma but have evidentally been to kind to "the family" these past few weeks.

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

In 115 this week - dont know if i will get thro tho

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I'm in 37 this week, and scored 1529, but am not hopeful.

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I'm in 11, scored a pretty crappy 1465 but still moved on to second round! How's everyone else hanging?

Brian

Aw, 'Roo, just looked. I guess you're suffering from the championship letdown. Too much partying after last weeks grand victory eh chum? That'll teach ya! LOL

Way ta stick Jen! Even with that much crappier score than mine! :>)

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I'm out, got beaten by 82 points.

Up to you to keep the flag flying this week Big Bro.:D

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I got thro - thanks brian!!!

Anyway did even worse today so not much further me thinks!!!:D

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Aye, but what flag shall that be. the way I played again today it'll probably a white flag!:p

Jen, it's called tough love, love. Figure if you go at it with a "I'll show that Yankee so and so, you'll do better! LOL

Brian

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Sorry you got bumped Jen!:o I made it through with another sub 1500 point game. Rindy, take solice in the fact that your winner may win your whole challenge!

Brian

Oh, now where's me flag::alright:

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

[quote=LancYorkYankee;461234]Sorry you got bumped Jen!:o I made it through with another sub 1500 point game. Rindy, take solice in the fact that your winner may win your whole challenge![quote]

Rindy, you don't want to see what the person who beat you scored yesterday! However, of course I'll be a Less (aka "Miserable Sod") and tell you. They only scored ~980 points! What a bummer eh?:o:cool::p:D

I on the other hand made it through with yet another sub-1500 point performance. I'm playing against a fellow Virginian and CMM teammate. He even wished me well and told me how great it would be for him to win "this badge!" How cruel eh? I don't care a lick about the badge and am questioning how well I should play.

I know that's wrong in many ways and nobody would/should wish winning by their opponent tossing his play. So, as always, I will try my best. Gosh, I'm a bit winded for this early in the day! My apologese!

Brian

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I did see what they scored, lol.

It's just down to the luck of the draw.

I'll be back, raring to go again, next Monday.

Good luck to you.:)

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

1595 for me today ....hope my bad luck stops

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I forgot to register yesterday, so good luck to you this week.:)

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I am automatically registered.....otherwise i would probably forget most weeks.

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Good thinking, thanks.:)

Although now I'll have to remember to unsubscribe when I go to Greece.:D

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I'm all the way up in number 3!

Brian

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Good luck to you too then, playing in the gifted children's class.:D

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Aye but I feel there's been a mistake as I was only sent there to clean the chalkboards for the pampered Ivy league kids!

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Ooh, did I get spanked in the Knock-out game #3. Lost by almost 400 points!

Brian

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I'm in group 44 of this weeks challenge, and today score 19/20 and got 1828 points.

I'm playing a fellow Brit, and the questions were mainly about the UK, so will have to cross my fingers, and wait and see if it was enough to go through.

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

That is a brilliant score, I bet there aren't many who will get all the questions right. I reckon your in with a good chance. GOOD LUCK:)

Re: Global trivia quiz.

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Hard luck, and it is all down to luck, you had a good score.

I made it through but only scored 1410 today, so will probably be out too.

There's always next week.:)

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

18 in 93 secs today...sure my luck will run out soon

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Glad to see more of you guys playing. Well done to Norwich Stanley. Bought time you were able to move on!:p

I was in tournament #1 and got smashed in round 1. I do hope I get listed in a lower tournament next week. Keep us updated please and good luck to all next week.

Brian

Re: Global trivia quiz.

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Great score, good luck this week.:)

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I got stuck in Tourney # 1 again. Had a good go through the first round!

Brian

Re: Global trivia quiz.

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I've made it to the quarter finals today.:)

Re: Global trivia quiz.

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Awe Rindy, close but no cigar eh? I believe you had the best run of all Accywebbers! Fo whatever that's worth!:p

Brian

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Yup not even the whiff of the smoke.:o

I'm blaming my loss to my American foe, on the heavily weighted American questions.:D

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Yeah, I hate when that happens! LOL:rolleyes::D:p

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I'm playing a fellow Lancastrian in the challenge today, so I've really no excuse if he knocks me out, and I certainly can't blame questions with an American bias, if I don't make it.:D

I'm in group 32, and got 18/20, which gave me a score of 1699, so fingers crossed.

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

fell again first post ..group 135
scored 1467 .. still in dumbo class
hols next week must do some swatting

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Been forgetting register for the knockout!!! Anyway will try and remember next week!!!!

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I made it through the first round, but scored a terrible 1097 today, so expect to be knocked out....unless my opponent was worse than me.:rolleyes: :D

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

group 130
got through to the semi final
playing another american....still must do better :)

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Go Beechy!

Good luck.

I got knocked out in the second round this week...and only got through that because of a no show in the first.:D

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I got beat in the first round again this week - got beat by 9 points. Spugs still in though. Then again he could be out by now!! :D

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

scred 1259 in todays final

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Well done Beechy. Good luck tomorrow. Better get a good night sleep tonight!:p

Brian

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

pipped at the post
still will try again next week
thanx for all your support:wave8:

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Ok cant believe this. Last week i got beat by 9 points in the first round. Vowed to get that finger moving faster. This week signed up for the knockout. Got the email to say id been entered. Did the questions not bad but could do better. No email to say id gone through. So had a look at the score:
spookyjen (6 KO) (1352 pts)
Livak (7 KO) (1353 pts)

Hows that for close? Beat that one Rindy!!! :D:D:D

Though i did get knocked out but just 1 point in it - i am going to have to exercise them fingers more....... :D

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

In under accy_excile in mine today but the person I face is a good un with plenty under their belt.

Re: Global trivia quiz.

He came second in his group.

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

well and trully whupped yesterday
fraid i dont know much about american sport

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I've made it through to the semi-final in tournament 37, and today scored 19/20, which gave me 1826 points, so fingers crossed I get through.:rolleyes:

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

hope you get through rindy
i always seem to get matched against the yank
go rindy go

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Well I somehow made it through to today's final, and scored 1411, so am not very hopeful of winning.

The person I played in the quarter final sent me a note offering their congratulations.

Who said Americans don't have good manners!:D

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I believe I said that Rindy! LOL

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

You would never be so ill-mannered or rude, Sir.:D

By the way, I was pipped at the post in the final, by a few measly points.:rolleyes:

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

congrats on a narrow defeat....

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Finally coming to the end of another round in the Global Challenge. I for one am looking forward to it ending.

Now, if Rindy would leave me alone in all the other trivia games. I just ccan't shake that bloke!:p

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

I've just scored my best ever time in the hourly History quiz, 10/10 in 24 seconds. I was really chuffed...until four nerds came along and topped my score.:D

14 seconds!!!!!:eek:

Good luck with your quest to reach the Immortals Brian.

I have no chance, though I did miss a whole week's quizzing whilst I was in Greece. Well that's my excuse, and I'm stickin' to it.:D

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

Whoo-hoo!

I've won this week's Knockout (34).

It was funny, because the other week, when my internet was down, I received a phone call from Gran Canaria saying I'd been drawn against my friend Don in the first round, and he got through because I was a no show. Weird, considering there are over 3/4 of a million people playing.

Will be glad when Global Challenge starts again, as I've started to have withdrawl symptoms, after a month off.

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

well done rindy :dummy:
youll have to have another month in greece
im full of bruises from falling at the first fence
but i keep trying :(

Re: Global trivia quiz.
 

It's just the luck of the draw, about who you play against, and the questions you are asked.

I always check the person I'm playings profile, and am pleased if they aren't American, because we'll both be on equal footing in not knowing the U.S. biased questions.:D

Stick with it, it will be your turn to win soon.:)
