Just keep plugging away at it and it will happen. In my case, the blind squirrel gets an acorn once in a while.

Sadly, not mine! A guy called DINGO played Lunchtime Trivia for nearly three hours and came out of it with a perfect score to his name. I've been having eye problems for the last week and only checked the website and discovered this tonight. Props to DINGO if he sees this. I have yet to ever get a perfect score, so I'm a bit jealous! :p I'm not sure where my best bet for a perfect score/gold medal is. Lunchtime is theoretically the easiest but the pop culture questions are always tough for me. It'll probably end up being a 10 question premium game where I guess 2 or 3 correct responses to scoot to 10k. Almost did that successfully tonight, actually. Topix is also a possibility. The top score was less than 1k from mine tonight. We'll see. |

My first 2 golds were assisted (playing team) but my third one came on a lunchtime game where I got an unassisted perfect score. I knew 6 of them and made an educated guess on the last. I also ran 15 in a row on countdown a few weeks ago...but just like an "Andy Varipapa 300" in bowling, didn't actually count since it spanned 2 games. You'll get there. |

Good score MrGray, last night for Dangerous Animals (or was it Immortal Words), saw you on the boards. |

Ah thanks BUD! I made a really dumb mistake in the first round (I went Mexico then Australia on the United States question) but I had actually read up on the funnel-web spider a few months ago. My guess is that one tripped a lot of people up. It was more obscure than most of the questions that game. Kudos on the gold, Brutus. Yeah Countdown is such a marathon of randomness. One time I had over 9k after the first two rounds (getting scrap points on question 1 then 9 perfects), but the last round was so bad I didn't even crack 12k. That was really frustrating. |

Well, hell. That one gold medal is more than a lil less than half of the sites in The Horribly Site-Poor Golden State.  OTOH, there's more than a lil way to go before approaching the individual player with the most gold.

In Northfield OH, a blue-collar suburb of Cleveland, I did a perfecto on Countdown. The questions were all "in my wheelhouse." After I did that perfecto, a man who was not playing bought me a beer, saying "I never saw anyone do that before!" If you keep playing, they will come. |

This summer I stopped in Winchester to see SPIEGS and a few others at the BWW there. I guy came up to me and told me that I had put up two 15K CD games at his now defunct location and insinuated that I had some how cheated. First game I played, I went 15K sitting by myself, with him two tables away staring at me. Some other guy bought me a beer for beating the guy that claimed that I had somehow cheated. That sure was one great beer...EGADS!!! |

They don't understand we have file cabinets in our brain of "worthless information" that works great for Buzztime. Way to play Bruttha. |
