Say bye bye to free time

This Web site is a pretty good trivia site.

This game gives you 6 minutes to guess all the leaders.

I got 18 of 28.

 

Prediction: Buckweaver, 32 seconds.

 

Some will be better than others. I'll take the under on that one, 2MCM

 

Try doing the entire slate of d-1 mascots.

 

My wife and I have been playing the daily quizzes on Sporcle nearly every day since November. A couple weeks ago, after Tuesday night trivia, we pulled out a laptop at the bar and started playing all the sports ones with the trivia guy and about five other people. We did that for three hours before my wife and I left. The next afternoon, we got word from two of the people playing with us that they were at the bar until after 3 a.m. (closing was 2 a.m. that night) trying to do them all.

 

If they had a version for 1922, he could cut that time in half.

 

Sporcle is awesome. Between the sports quizzes and the geography quizzes, it's a miracle I ever get any work done. I spent almost a month mastering the periodic table, and another month working on the countries of the world quiz (name all 195 countries in 15 minutes). After finishing that one, I felt like I had climbed Mount Everest.

 

Took me about 4:07 to do the 73 school nicknames

 

Today's new quiz: Point leaders for every NBA team.

I'll still take the under.

 

Damn straight.

I'd know that one a lot better than I know 2008. I only got 16 right on this one. (Cue pallister with a quip about my short-term memory. )

'Course, I've spent more time in 1922 this offseason anyway, but I digress ...

 

Damn, I got a whopping 13. That was hard.
