[Matty]

Just did the practice test. 26 out of 30.

Pretty good.

13 🤦‍♂️

 

[roguejuror]

I'm registered.

Let's see what we can do.

Oops double post sorry.

If stevek makes it before Muddy we're closing the forum

 

[Mudcat]

So this has started. Day 1, Test 1 would be wrapped up by now.

I'm thinking I'll do tomorrow's which is 9 pm EST. It's either that or Thursday at 11 pm.

Should be good and exhausted for it in either case.

 

[Mudcat]

Here's yesterday's. I got 39 out of 50 which would be good enough.

That's a practice score. I'll be doing today's offical-like.

Logged in. The countdown is on.

 

[Mudcat]

That felt like a pass. I'll have to wait for someone to post the answers but I feel pretty confident I will once again be eligible and not get called for an audition.

 

[Mudcat]

Bastards got me with the very first question. Couldn't think of the name of that pain-in-the-butt Japanese chick who tells everyone how to unclutter their homes.

Marie Condo, I thought of too late.

*Kondo

(...but we'll accept that.)

 

[Mudcat]

Yap, got either 39 or 40 depending if they accept Lottery (rather than The Lottery)

I guess prolly not. It's a proper title.

39

 

[Mudcat]

Actually I put 747 rather than Boeing 747. That may not be acceptable.

Don't matter. I'm okay without it.

 

[stevek]

Well then if that happens I'm lying about the result RJ.

Gamelive STAYS.

FOREVER.

We already have your successor for the next generation in Minimatty.

 

[stevek]

Doing this tonight at 11.

Please do NOT shut down the site when I do better than Muddy.

 

[Matty]

I got maybe half right.

 

[Matty]

Found the list of answers. I got 22. Ugh.

 

[stevek]

I was missing all of them, got bored and bailed.

Best of luck to all participants!

 

[Mudcat]

I found last night's very soft. 43.

Couldn't remember that stupid Lady Gaga / Bradley Cooper song (but got lucky on the French "Sun" King question - I always confuse Louis XIV and XVI - but I guessed right.)
