I took absolutely forever, but ended up getting them all. Learned Basel from this site, and I’m pretty sure I remembered mojito was wrong only because of a Ray Charles quiz or something. Probably that it was spelled “mohito” should’ve tipped me off.
Not my fastest, but I'll take the 10/10 with no small relief, because I very nearly started out with tres instead of trois 😅 Fairly comfortable on most of the rest, albeit a little sluggish, but I'll blame the hangover for that 😂 9,864 has me top of my LB for now, but I expect to be dethroned as the day goes on.
Honourable mention for the 1% who apparently thought the Third Reich lasted 969 years 😅
Yknow, when I left this comment, I completely forgot that tres has a different meaning in French as well 😂 My brain was stuck in Portuguese/Spanish mode 😅
I've gradually removed most of those from mine haha; there's one or two left who post scores that I would consider to be suspect, but not constantly, and just about believable for now, but the obvious ones get removed.
I'm down to 2nd on mine at the time of writing this too haha, nobody with 9900+ yet though
Yeah agreed tbh, like I could see it being theoretically possible if all of the questions fell right on the day, none required extensive reading, etc., but if it's anything more than an isolated occurrence then something smells very fishy indeed.
I'm still trying (and failing) to break the 9,940 barrier, and even that feels like something where I'll have to get extremely lucky with the questions and be on stellar form on the day
I've beaten 9950 once and didn't cheat. Though I could be lying of course. In my defence, went and looked and it was about ireland that day, so wee buns for me.
8/10, believe it or not Temple of doom is like my favourite movie so when I saw the question I just clicked it without thinking and got it wrong :( the kind of shame I will never live down
7/10, missed three. Seems fitting

Even a single 9950 is pretty suspect, IMO.
