It looks like it is better to be right than fast.

They should clackity-clack the questions at a constant rate to keep ringers like you from implicitly cheating.

:)

I guess I will have to brush off my old speed reading techniques which I stopped using because they interfered with my enjoyment of reading in general.

I think I'll create a sock puppet to just work on that -- just to see if I can remember how to do it.

I'm hopped up on darvocet and wearing a patch over one eye.  My reaction time and reading is a little depressed today versus most days.

It was you!  I am now wondering if it makes sense to do the google for things like #9 today.  My google-fu is pretty good.



Wouldn't that be considered, um.. cheating?


Besides, the less time you take, the better your score anyway. So looking through Google for 10 seconds might screw ya 20 points anyway.

I am trying to determine the threshold -- so far it looks like more correct is better than faster...

As far as "cheating?"  Dunno, there is nothing that says I can't go look it up -- that, I assume, is why the speed of response is part of the total score.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

That they do!  It's better to guess than ponder too long on any particular question, it really effects your score!

Congrats Eupher thats' some speedy reading and a sharp mind  :cheersmate:
