SETI.USA Brain Drain - Daily Trivia Game

We need a new thread for this over on the new boards, so here we go.

We've got a daily trivia challenge set up for us here: http://www.funtrivia.com/private/main.cfm?tid=90634

There is a new quiz every day, and a daily and monthly competition. This has been going on three months now, and we've had three different winners. You do have to register on the site, but it only takes a few seconds and does not require an activation email. The more people who play, the more fun it is.

Thanks to NJCaNS for setting it up and moderating it! Come on by and have some fun with us!

Scoring: 100*(# of questions correct) - seconds to complete the quiz
Ties are broken by whoever finishes first.

Thanks for the reminder. Unfortunately, it has not made it to my daily routine, yet. :-t

NOTE: the main goal is to get many team members to play, keep it competitive or at least interesting/challenging to members. Feel free to make comments.

Someone convince John R. to play more regularly. Looks like he could be a threat to MaxwellII.

End of bump.

p.s. Nice work Shadow. Don't mind us if we come after you this month. :)

Glad you're joining us!

If you can beat ShadowLurker, we'd love to have you around. If you consistently beat me, however, please stop playing... :cool::p

Hehe...b-)

Though you should be directing your wrath at Mike...

@NJCaNS - Is everyone competing from the same question set or are the daily questions totally random for each player? :confused:
Some of the comments posted in the trivia chat over the past couple of weeks indicate everyone is getting different questions.

@Maxwell - Could you play a couple of hours apart on both of your accounts tomorrow to see if the challenge is consistent or if questions are random?

I'm like you - I thought we all got the same questions. But maybe not...

I just played on my other account, and got a completely different set of questions than I got this morning. That strikes me as odd. Any thoughts, NJ?

Morning I'll revisit this. I've learned that beer + Maxwell + trivia = low success rate. But good to know the bar is low... \m/

I hate those really tough ones. Educated guesses take more time. With the highest time today, I guess that means I knew the fewest even though I got the most right (so far).

Having owned and watched 5 seasons of House helped me on that one...

Mash head firmly onto desk repeatedly---see, should've taken test BEFORE I went to bed---I unintentionally missed a question--didn't even see it as I scrolled downX_X

9/10--ok, time to hitch up the panties and get serious lol

Definitely time to hitch up those panties. I just caught up yesterday, and am ahead of you on time today...:cool:

hehe panties are up so high I gave myself a wedgie :P


ACK!! Baseball, why'd it have to be baseball??? 4/10, going to keep last place warm for awhile I'll bet.Correctly guessed the harder ones--the easy killed me :(

7/10--moral--go with your gut and DON'T change an answer :(

Epic Fail.

..... I want my Mommy!

Not so much that but today's category was History, not sure I saw any questions from that class. :confused:

Agreed DrBob--I think they use the word "history" quite loosely.

8/10...and not on purpose :P

Arcane would be a better catagory. Or "Gone the way of Latin".

Anyhow, got 5/10 so my brain must be half empty today.

Another category not fitting most of the questions--hobbies

7/10--I guess I'll never learn--changed answer on one & my guesses on the other two just plain sucked wind.

I hadn't had my second cup of coffee, yeah, that's what was wrong--that's my story & I'm sticking to it :P

8/10 For me.
