i have my suspicions regarding a couple of those involved in that quiz - although as always it is impossible to prove

a lot of paranoia surrounding quizzes recently. i don't know which quizzes you are on about but allegations of googling seem to have quadrupled since the turn of the year. maybe i'm just naive in believing it doesn't happen, at least to the extent that others seem to think.

that said, googlers should be shot.

as for the "he tried to hide it towards the end" - the Boris Becker Q I was so slow on that about 20 answers had already been answered, I put 22nd in the hope it was a trick Q - as IIRC there were only 16 official seeds, and was hoping it was a trick Q

For the last one I read it wrong, missed out the "common" part out of the question, as I'm sure I've heard somewhere before that one of, if not THE fastest creature in the world is some sort of butterfly.

Look through the quiz again. Twice I posted late on, and even then I got one of the answers wrong!

I don't google, and I'm not a fast typer. Everyone who has seen me quiz on here should know I'm not a **.

Judge me however you want. I finally win a quiz, and get accused like this. Fine, I won't join in the "fun" again.

Precisely why witch-hunts are out of order imo. I'll be frank with you SSS, I've had my doubts but I wouldn't accuse you of googling unless it became reasonably apparent that that's what you, or anyone else, was up to.

Answering 'artemis' last week just before the 100%-guranteed-googler El Gran Senor didn't help!

And I had a look at Dragon's quiz before I'd seen SSS's last post. Sure he might've been, but has no case to answer in my mind.

Apologies SSS, I was just having a laugh anyways. I was only at the quiz for about 3 Q's. ;)

He has denied it though. I suppose if you are a googler then you would though wouldn't you.

Take a look at GTs quiz earlier. I joined in on page 3, so I missed the start, finished 6th.

GTs quizzes you hardly have time to have a sip of coffee before the question has been asked, and time up and get ready for next question. So no chance of googling! So did I ** there to finish so well?

Also his is a FFF quiz, take a look. I'm not the fastest. I've questioned before how do you lot type so quick, as I wouldn't say I'm slow as such, just not as quick as you guys. What do you do? 2 windows? 2 computers? I'm the old "read question, hit reply, type answer and hit post" and I'm just not as quick as these FFF.

I can assure you, I don't **.

But I won't be taking part in anymore on here.

SSS, ignore it. Most of us have been accused of it at some point. If you're not, just get on with it imo. As I mention earlier, and BJK also suggests, the episode last week when there was an obvious googler didn't help as you had the misfortune to answer correctly just before google had given him the answer. I don't think anybody pointed a finger at you though.

Anyway, I hope you change your mind.

SSS i say ignore it too and prove the point by playing quizzes as normal

Don't be so ridiculous SSS. You must take part again. The more good quizzers there are the better the quizzes get. I have apologised. Let's move on.

Study was accused of googling about 6 years ago. He's still here SSS...

When: 15 Jan 10 23:26
SSS i thought you were suspect - hands up i said it. Sorry if i got it wrong

As jimmy says play on, forget it and im sure alot have been accused of googling. I know Jockay got a load of stick for a couple of quizzes he trotted up in, people saying he was googling.

Then people found out he knew his stuff on sports stadia :^0
By:
jimmy69
When: 15 Jan 10 23:28
Yes. I remember that one well as I hosted that quiz. Jockay's knowledge of Sports Stadia was unbelievable. It was no wonder he was accused.
By:

When: 15 Jan 10 23:29
to stop all this bickering and nastiness, why don't we just have different quizzers for non googlers and other quizzes for googlers? SSS can play in that one and everyone's happy.
