Re: Sploofus
These are the top 15 for January. I started out in the top ten for about the first ten days but then got killed. The last time I finished a month in the top ten was in October. My slow hotel connection caused a slow response today.

Re: Sploofus
Sploofus has a real problem with their timing. Recently I got 2,000 on a question with a reaction time of 0.01 seconds.
It took forever to load, and although I was fast to get the answer...not that fast.
ETA--didn't help me much as I had my worst month yet...don't even bother to see how far down I am. I have also managed to figure out that not everyone gets the same question and ease of question might depend on what level you are at.

Re: Sploofus
Yes, not everyone gets the same questions. It's totally random though, it doesn't depend on your level. Sometimes it seems that they take pity on me after a bad month with a good one, but I'm sure that's an illusion.triviawayne wrote:Sploofus has a real problem with their timing.

I got lucky today. I had a question about a book from 1985. Fortunately, I had read it and remembered the author.

I've only gone in using the link for QOTD from my emails, I don't do anything else there. I often go in and do a week at a time.
It appears that not only are the QOTD expiring at the end of each day, but the email links aren't working.
I just went to sploofus.com and got right in and was able to answer QOTD.
So the site seems to work, the emailed links do not

I check every day or so, and I'd been unable to get in. But around 10:30 ET I did.
And after answering a backlog of 6 or so questions, I have a (temporary, I assume) huge-ass lead.
