Sorry about the mistake in #7 which has been corrected. In other news, I'm glad that the level of cheating is not too high!

Level 53

Feb 4, 2025

2/10 There is definitely a theme here, but I don't know what.

Level 66

Feb 4, 2025

I can’t tell if there’s a theme or not today, but if there is then I beat you to the pun-ch!

Level 53

Feb 4, 2025

The theme is probably "Lord of the Rings". My "lord", that name "rings" a bell.

Dang, coulda got a high score but question 7 was like “you shall not pass!”

Not seeing its connection to the theme either...

And for 6 Golem is a reference to Gollum, one of the main characters.

Level 66

Feb 4, 2025

Omg it was talking about short elves so that just didn’t click with me 😭

Level 16

Feb 4, 2025

i also like elves! hehe two peas in a pod!

Level 53

Feb 4, 2025

4/10.... i didn't understand anything about the first question

Level 64

Feb 4, 2025

10/10! My precioussss!

Level 86

Feb 4, 2025

Pfff... 5/10, see you tomorrow

Level 77

Feb 4, 2025

As I was getting 10 out of 10, but I got nine due the Italy-question, I ask Is there a way how statistics can be fixed? If I try again with the same answers, is it so that the old score will be wiped out?

Level 86

Feb 4, 2025

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

Level 72

Feb 4, 2025

10/10 today! Thanks Mr. Tolkien!

Level 99

Feb 4, 2025

10/10 but then, I would be disappointed if it were otherwise, LOTR being my favourite literature piece ever

Level 89

Feb 4, 2025

For a Tolkien theme, I'd have been very disappointed with myself had I got anything less than 10/10, and I'm glad to report I did not disappoint 😁 Was on for a really high score too but question 7 slowed me down a bit

Level 55

Eagle and Child one of my favourite pubs in Oxford. Sadly has been closed for a couple of years now. Supposedly being refurbished by American owners.

Level 89

Feb 4, 2025

That makes me sad to hear, I hope the new owners treat it with the respect it deserves

Level 83

Feb 4, 2025

I believe this is the pub where Lewis and Tolkien’s gang (the Inklings) would have competitions to read aloud works by Amanda McKittrick and see who could go longest without laughing at the terrible prose.

Level 89

Feb 4, 2025

I'd never heard of her before and now you've sent me down a mad Wikipedia rabbithole and I feel a burning need to read her work XD

Level 83

Feb 4, 2025

It's really bad. This is my imitation of her writing after reading a few pages: "Her beguiled trepidation had been dashed upon the rocks of honorific futurity."

Level 89

Feb 4, 2025

Oh dear, I think I get the idea 😅

Level 70

Feb 4, 2025

8/10. Went the wrong way between town and county and decided to go with the town I'd never heard of for the pub. Oh well. When seeing some of the first questions did better than I thought I would.

Level 89

Feb 4, 2025

As a lover of Lewis and Tolkien, I'm happy to say I didn't let them down.

Level 16

Feb 4, 2025

5/5 i always get the same score >:(

Level 59

Feb 4, 2025

Classical music daily trivia when?

Level 74

Feb 4, 2025

9/10. I won’t even say what I missed because it’s embarrassing.

Level 79

Feb 4, 2025

Fair enough

Level 68

Feb 4, 2025

9/10. I'll have to listen to the Ring Cycle. I'm not familiar.

Level 36

Feb 4, 2025

4/10

Not my day

Level 79

Feb 4, 2025

Was trying to find the common theme, some are LOTR or just "rings" and magic/mythology in general, but can't find the connection to Petronas Towers and Spain

Level 47

Feb 4, 2025

10/10 - yay! I’m mot a massive fan of Tolkien and all things elvish, but the rest of my family are, so must have picked up some of her knowledge by osmosis!

Level 36

Feb 4, 2025

LOTR is the best movie series ever and each movie is better than the next, with the twin towers and return of the king being my favorite movies ever next to Truman show

Level 52

Feb 4, 2025

Being a LOTR nerd definitely helped today!

Level 83

Feb 4, 2025

Hmm. The person at the top of my leaderboard DEFINITELY cheats. dozens of scores about 9950, and the distribution of their scores is the most obviously non-normal curve I've ever seen.

Level 83

Feb 4, 2025

Look at this distribution! They have a mode of 6 with a somewhat normal distribution, except they have a ton of 10/10 scores with 9950 or better? Charade you are!

10: 17%

9: 14%

8: 13%

7: 15%

6: 18%

5: 13%

4: 7%

3: 2%

Level 89

Feb 4, 2025

Seen a few like this and removed them from my list. Like I can accept that people have faster reactions than me, and if they're consistently that good then fair enough, I enjoy the competition, but when I'm seeing someone with an average of 4-5 correct putting up 9,965+ every other week, it feels fairly obvious what's happening there

Level 62

Feb 4, 2025

About a month ago my score distribution was soooo satisfying (at least to me)

10: 14%

9: 32%

8: 32%

7: 14%

6: 8%

Right now it's a bit skewed at 15,33,30,13,8 and 1 respectively :/

why hello there fellow punker
