    Damn those kids and their TikTok... only one I got wrong there...

    And cheers for the super sneaky soap question... Brookside began on the Channel 4 Launch Night, so I can never forget the year... :D

    Congrats 2D... Well Played

    If it weren't for them pesky Sports Questions though... ***shakes fist***

    Although can't complain about sharing 2nd place...

    Great game Kol, was a lot of fun. And nice to know that the amount of time I spend playing Trivia Apps isn't a complete waste of time.

    Thanks for running Kol, good mix of questions there and plenty of things I didn't know that I'll try and keep stored in the 'trivia' part of my brain.

    Congrats 2D and osh for your wins....although I'm convinced everybody who scored higher than me cheated! :pac:

    Thanks, Kolido, I enjoyed that.

    I appreciate the lack of maths questions :)

    I was iffy about round 7.

    Fk sake, Honolulu???


    Having managed to negotiate the curve ball that it was Hawaii in question, I failed to notice "capital" in the question.


    Kinda sums up my whole game, tbh :(


    Well done the winners, and I promise to pay more attention to the questions next time....... (speed submitting an entire round at 11.59am for a 12md deadline was never going to end well)

    I never knew that a British PM was assassinated. I've already forgotten his name as well.
    The 'which year' questions are infuriating: I was out by one year on 4 or 5 of them :rolleyes:

    Thankfully I wasn't playing as I would be the same as yourself, have a fair idea but be out by one or two years. :D

    I have a bone to pick about the question: which well known forum games user introduced a bagful of games to FG.
    Bagful...Baggly. If that isn't entrapment then I don't know what is :p
