At this point I must admit to being guilt in the 'outside assistance' category. If i ever get an answer right on flowers (it has been known) or ballet (my partner's an ex ballet dancer) it's long odds on that Ann is sitting behind me.
On such occasions I always hold my hand up! :D |

Hi Pumps
Hope you're well. Bit of a long shot but you don't do RM Williams stuff do you? :) |

By:
tbf, I think we should all start getting paranoid about it.
BUT, it IS possible that a very few people might sometimes use the computer to get some answers. Try googling the Q's I posted at 18.46 ^^^ . I think this system should be used more often. If it is going on, one or two people might play less, or not do quite so well. |

lol @ slippers.
I always thought that was a joke. :^0 |

By:
Though a slow typer, no question should have more than 20-25 seconds unless it is a long read, I may miss time up on a few ocassions if it was quicker but it will stop the googling, your find its the 30-45 sec quizzes that googling sometimes occurs.

keep up with this exact scrutiny charlie, it WILL expose the googlers over a much larger sample by identifying quick correct answers and slow correct answers by the same person. 10 questions is too small a range though. from your sample it might just mean the person you mention is a slow typer/answerer. and if you could highlight the CORRECT answers in bold this would also be a very useful indicator.
|

By:
i try and answer immediately i see the question , even if it means embarassing myself on occasions by putting a stupid answer. if i'm late with a correct answer it's usually because i was preoccupied with something else. obviously there are various reasons why people may be slower with their answers - connection, typing ability, lack of a 'refreshable' index finger - as long as they are consistent and don't always get the right answer (algeria was a peach, artemis arguably better) then i think it best to give the benefit of the doubt.
if any of the regulars are googlers i hope their pc blows up! |

You could be in danger of false accusation Munch- I take your point though.
For example, I know MMM very well - He is just very slow on the computer, he wouldn't be able to google if he wanted to. Also, I often spend a few seconds thinking, for an answer which is on "The tip of my tongue", especially when I'm tired. So there will often be late correct answers. I can't be alone in this! |
|
By:
I would be astounded if any of the regular quizzers google. What's the point? These quizzes are supposed to be a bit of fun.
|
|
By:
You're in danger of taking the fun out of the quizzes with this scientific analysis!! :0
In relation to last night's quiz, I had my mind elsewhere......hence I was last answering on a lot of them. Normally, if my laptop is running quick i'm in the first 3/4 all the time. I'm with Jimmy, i'd be shocked if any of the regular 20/30 hardcore regular quizzes Google. |
|
By:
You are both fine fellows.. but you're wrong. If the 'redrich' method of quizzering was introduced my guess is you'd see vastly different scoring patterns.
But I agree with Dan re the 'spoiling the enjoyment' thing. Let's just get on with it! :) |

By:
Really PM. You suspect foul play somewhere along the line?
|
|
By:
Maybe PM, I never look for it really and only spot the obvious ones.
Most of us don't google then :D |

I am usually one of the slowest to answer - a combination of a slow connection and poor typing speed.
This costs me points on a regular basis - do I also have to suffer being thought of as a googler? I am pretty confident that the regular quizzers I play against are not googling, thiough I cannot be sure of course. There has been the odd occasion when I have been very suspicious, along with a lot of people, when 'guests' have produced late and correct answers on a regular basis. Everyone who has seen me on these quizzes should know by now that I neither google or copy, and if they think I am, they can quite frankly go feck themselves! If there is a wy to 'google-proof' the questions, I would be delighted - as I have nothing to fear. |

By:
Some newbies think we all google due to the tremndous knowledge found here on quizzes
I know there was some suspicion last year in the quiz leagues and would be all for the google proof questions As a scorer, you get a feel for who is at it but I'm with the others guys, sometimes the question takes a bit of time to register or I'm each of two As a general rule, I'm one of the 1st to answer a question but I am only 5km from the Betfair servers |

Quizzes were fun about 4 or 5 years ago.
Last year a league was formed and it went haywire. Arguments, stewards enquires, committe meetings ffs, and in any quiz you get hardly any fun banter compared to the old quizzes. If an Oxford educated genius got on here he'd be facked if he couldn't type fast. These leagues are not fun for quite a few, and that's why some, mostly the slow typists, have dropped out. |
