For those days when there's nothing happening, I just setup a link to a daily trivia contest.

I'd ask that you sign up with either your forums username, or your domain name - so in case we run a contest with this in the future, we can easily identify the winners!

Have fun with it ... thats what it's here for.

Hmm... I tried to sign up but it tells me both my forums username and domain name are unavailable (which I find unlikely).

Worked for me. But I'm slow - 208 seconds! Got 9/10 - missed the movie question.

I dunno, considering fortymile is also an admitted Packer fan ::gasp:: you'd think he would be penalized...must be cheeseheads that run the place...

Hey !!!

How do some of you go so fast? I try to use the mouse to answer and the keyboard to scroll. If I don't instantly know the answer I just pick one and move on as fast as I can. I usually only skim the question for words that stand out. And I still have trouble breaking 50 seconds. (At least, according to th test. Any idea how accurate the timer is?)

I finished in 37 seconds today, by far my best time. I used my laptop and scrolled with the trackpad instead of doing the quiz on my desktop machine.

Well, the contest motivated me... I gotta have one of those mousepads!! :)

It still won't let me sign up under caddickj or caddickscabin.com, so I went with an older name: jtcadd. I'm not sure why it won't let me sign up, unless the profanity filter doesn't like me.

5th place so far... not too shabby for my first shot.
