Ah, I think I just got it. :roll: :P (Not a very common term in Australia — we mainly use the other (probably ruder) one — which is why I didn't make the connection immediately.)

Moving right along :mrgreen: ... well done Lenoir and everyone else who's achieved a high score legitimately!!

I think John was just being polite... ;-)

Congratulations, Lenoir. That's the reason I'm always slow - partly - as I can never scroll very fast and then sometimes when I click the answer, the circle doesn'r remain clicked so I have to click it again...and that's apart from being slow anyway! :lol:

As people have said, its just a bit of fun...but I sometimes wish I could complete the quiz in at least under 3 mins!

Second place.
Congratulations on your score and time, Lenoir. Very impressive. :D

25 is great. I only made 21, but at least that is better than the 19 of March.
I really need to learn more about Enid's life and find some of those books I have not read.

A miserable 20 for me - but at least it's better than nothing!

Oh wow, I got 24 — I think that's my highest ever! :D (A lot of them were guesses, though, so I can't claim much credit.)

Hi Forumites, where can I find the Monthly Quiz on the Society pages? I am logged into the Secret Passage...

Thanks in advance!
