Trivia...thanks dc

I have a link on this blog to a trivia challenge I started a while ago. The topic changes each month and the questions are generally pretty easy. Mostly the trivia game is a test of how fast one can correctly answer the questions. I enjoy trivia and I am okay at it I guess. But I have a challenge each time I play this trivia game (daily) because even though I usually get 9 or 10 out of 10 I can rarely beat one apponent speed wise. dcprime has continually proven himself a worthy adversary on Think You Know It All. For quite some time I thought the only reason he was faster than I was because my pc was a hunk of junk and needed replacing. It was so slow it took me 40 minutes once just to shut down. I got my hopes up when our new computer system arrived thinking I would finally be able to beat dc with my super new fast pc. I couldn't have been more wrong. The man is a machine. Generally to answer the 10 questions pre-determined by funtrivia.com it takes approximately 40 seconds or more (sometimes more). Today my friend bested me with a perfect score that he attained in 23 seconds!!! What's with this guy? Still I felt rather confident I could top this. So I set out to answer the 10 ridiculously easy questions only to find at question 3 that it took 5 attempts to click on the correct answer. I finished with a time of 28 seconds. After much fist waving and yelling out dc's name I collected myself and realized I am again defeated. Beaten down yet again by a mouse quicker than my own. So kudos to you my friend dc - a job very well done. But beware because it ain't over until the fat lady sings and I haven't even started to hum. Good job buddy but boy do you infuriate me sometimes :-)

I still claim that the reason I'm slower is because I play on my laptop sans mouse. That finger pad-thing simply isn't as fast. You can shave off 6 seconds no problem by scrolling down with the mouse scroller knob!
Oh, and also I suck!

Too true about the scrolly button and no you don't suck. :-)
