No, your retirement would mean a loss for the Total Quiz community.

I think you're going to hate me, because I think I just got #20 as well: very good question by the way, makes you think.

Rider, nine points is not bad for Total Quiz.  I expected the mean score to be around 8-9.

Decebal, the more I look at your score, the more I believe that I have made my questions too easy for the Total Quiz!!!

No, no, the questions are pretty good. Question 20 still baffles me. I think it's just a lifetime of obsession with history combined with a good strategy of going about answering this type of questions: kind of like detective work... I remember you being pretty darn good at this sort of stuff too, kind of like your alias, poirot?Wink

This can't be happening!!! I spent so much time making sure that my questions are unambiguous; the result: I made them too easy.  Then Decebal goes wosh wosh - and gets most of them in less than 15 minutes.

Congratulations Decebal, you are on your way to 20 points! 

Either you really really know how I make my questions or the questions are way too easy.

Poirot, you could just ban Decebal accusing him in cheating (so I'd have a chance. I believe that I have 9 points so far and none of the more difficult ones answered... yet)

Are my questions that easy?  Tell me, honestly.  I can make them harder if you need more challenging questions.

well, that was fun.  I answered all the easy pity questions at the beginning and took wild stabs in the dark at a few others.  Good times.

Wait, when we answer again, we don't have to include our previous votes?

EDIT: And I again got the 9th by making a rough guess after reading the question. Huzzah.

I feel slighted rider... why can't I get poirot's questions?. After all I'm the champion-en-titre and allowed to some trash-talking.Wink
 
Anyway, you cannot answer your own question, so yes it will go to the next round if no one else does.
