Better, but I don't know as much about US politics as I should. Should really have got the Cheney one right.

Ouch. They obviously turned Bastard Mode on.

@jeremygibsonbrown.bsky.social Nine. Hmm. Talked myself out of one that I had a hunch was right. Barmpot. www.nytimes.com/shared/v2/ne...

Damnation. Fell at the last. 🤬

Snap. Although it was the airline strike that did for me.

Boom. Second week in a row. Couple of lucky guesses.

I fluked my way to 40%, because the only people I'd heard of were Trump and Katy Perry. 😂

@jeremygibsonbrown.bsky.social Boom. Back on top.

Tanked this week. A paltry 7. My excuse is I haven't been working. Although I'm still not sure I'd have got the baseball or railroad questions right, and IDGAF about the dating lives of former politicians. The tariffs error is all on me, though. 🤦

Same score, but it was the marriage equality that tripped me up. You know so little about sports you missed that it was a question about basketball not football. 😂
I'm a straight man in my early 50s and I'm not at all embarrassed by loving the music of Taylor, Kylie, Dua, Sabrina, Chappell and their like.

@jeremygibsonbrown.bsky.social Smashed it this week. Although I do question some of their choices about what makes suitable quiz material.

Yeah, one of my colleagues edited it and she asked me to give it a sense check before it was published. I found issue with very little in the copy. Very good piece.

This is a disappointingly misleading headline. She didn't even wear a ginger wig.

@jeremygibsonbrown.bsky.social Much better. Ten this week. Just the phone ban caught me out.
