Unfortunately, your good score would have been erased by dozens of cheaters.

I always wonder why people feel compelled to cheat on something like this? If you see your name on the top of the leaderboard and know that you cheated to get there, does that make you feel good about yourself?

I'm hoping it's mainly kids under 10 since at that age they might not understand why cheating is bad, plus I can see a 10 year old thinking it's really cool to show their friends at school that they're top of a leaderboard.

Maybe that's me naively hoping it though, the alternative is that there are adults out there sad enough to think cheating their way to the top of a meaningless leaderboard is worthwhile.

cheaters deserved to be banned why can't you just ban them and how do they cheat

alt accounts. and QM & Stewart were spending an extra hour a day I believe trying to ban cheaters so it wasn't worth it

This. There's more we could have done, but it would just launch an arm's race.

People were too determined to cheat.

put a timer on each question that way it will be harder for cheaters to cheat, and it will be more fun for us non-cheaters because it's an extra challenge and a fun adrenaline rush.

How can you tell people are cheating? I thought it would be difficult since you can only take the quiz once and lose points for taking too long.

alt accounts then you know where the answers are

But how can QM distinguish between two people, two accounts, versus one person with two accounts? Using the IP address alone doesn't prove it's the same person, there could be multiple users on that computer.

He can only ban the alts, so he just got rid of the whole thing.

Let's imagine it this way: If one account created recently with low levels accesses the DTC from a certain IP address, then a second account created recently with low levels on that same certain IP follows it in quick succession, scoring exponentially high scores, that's a pretty obvious mark of a cheater using an alt

Leaderboard is gone and I've had my worst first attempt yet. Coincidence? I think not!

I'm also bummed that the leaderboards are gone, but I understand the headache of dealing with all of the cheaters.

If you're worried about cheaters why not just make it that you have to be at least a certain level to appear on the leaderboard? Would keep out any freshly made accounts. It might not stop all cheaters, but I don't really see the point of daily trivia being timed and having scores without a leaderboard. It's just a general knowledge quiz with a different format now.

This feature is intended for the "casual" gamer who just wants a fun diversion every day and doesn't want to learn the 10 largest cities in Malawi.

You all know 20 random countries? I refuse to play when one of the missing countries is Equatorial Guinea; I just reload the page.

No countries where the spelled-out name is wider than the actual country.

I wish the leaderboard could have worked out, but I certainly understand. This is why trivia nerds can't have nice things. :(

All the same, the daily challenge is a great addition to the site. Hope it sticks around!

Despite the leaderboard being gone, is the percentile figure still accurate? Happy with mine today but can't tell whether that is an artefact or not
Stewart

Yes the percentile is still accurate and still uses first attempts only (just like JetPunk quizzes in fact)

Until they bring back the leaderboard, who wants to join me in a mass protest on the grass? We can even have a daily hunger strike from 12-3pm!

Anyone down?

Seriously: I think the only work-around is that TDC can only be open to players who have achieved a certain level. Yes, this blows for new members...

But if not--we can always protest!

Ok, why is orange juice the least guessed answer for #9? It seems like the most obvious answer to me. Didn't they have oranges in Mexico?
