I got away with a bit of guesswork today. It just shows up my ignorance.

Good fun though.

Getting above you is like climbing Mount Everest, chonsi. Next time I'll take a flag to plant.

None of us have won three times in a row yet, have you noticed?

If anyone would like to join in, please do, the more people playing the bigger the catastrophe a bad day makes. Saturdays always mess me up.

It's pleasing when the questions fall right. Random and shockingly trivial but that's better than brainy know-alls stealing the top score every day. So long as you have fun it's all good stuff.
