Spotes: Age is not an "unfair" advantage, Cloudy. It's a fair one.
Your complaint is like me losing a race to Usain Bolt and complaining that he has an unfair advantage because he runs faster than I do.
Variable box speed is an "unfair" advantage.
SPOTES, I might disagree with you on this. In my opinion Buzztime is supposed to be about knowledge of trivia,
Here's our first misconception.
If you're talking about winning BT games, and it sounds like you are, then Buzztime is about getting the most points in a game against everyone else, not knowing more than everyone else.
I lose BT games to people that know less trivia than I do every single day that I play it.
Lucky guesses for 1K can go a long way.

not how fast someone can hit a button to questions that everyone knows the answers to. Hell, NTN shouldn't waste their time putting trivia questions up on "Speed Freaks". The questions are not necessary.
What they should do is just flash a number between 1 and 5 on the screen, and whoever matches the number first gets the points. No knowledge is needed, it is simply reaction time, fast boxes, and possibly proximity to the transceiver that count.
I've played this game roughly 50 times.
Not once have I known all 28, 29, 30 or 31 answers.
I've gotten 28 and 29K games but, as stated above, that doesn't mean that I knew them all.
If you are routinely finding that this game holds no mystery for you, I bow to your superior intellect...

p.s. It is with great trepidation that I disagree with you.
It's when you find yourself agreeing with me regularly that you really need to start worrying, Cloudy...
