I went 12/12 but didn’t realize it was timed until about halfway through.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I tried this thing a couple of minutes after opening my eyes for the day. The timing mattered?

When you post a paywalled link from your own publication, I interpret it as telling me 'FU'.

Dammit. 10/12 and one of those I absolutely knew but just spaced out.

That weekly quiz exist for self satisfaction. If you break 500 it only means you should stop reading so much news 300 range is healthy enough consumption.

This is well above my average, but I'll take it.

You beat me by a landslide

lynndi.bsky.social•6 days ago

I beat you, though I will admit I had to guess 1 or 2.

Did not beat you. Missed one. ;-/

Every time that quiz says "can you beat so-and-so" I say "oh probably not" but sometimes I do beat them. But this week you spurred me on to do very well - and you still beat me! Well done!
