Question about the daily trivia game

15 years ago

I'd like to know how you folks answer those questions so fast so I can compete with the big boys, lol. I'm wondering if you are on a laptop or desktop? With my laptop I have to move over to pull the screen down, then back to click on the answer. I just don't think it's physically possible for me to go faster.

I'm not sure what you mean about moving over, but I use a desktop computer and a mouse with a scroll wheel. Sometimes I use a trackball, but that's guaranteed to slow me down.

I have a macbook pro, (which is really way too much computer for me and I don't know how to use it effectively, but that's another issue) and it doesn't have a mouse. So when the screen comes up only the first question fits on the screen. So I have to move the cursor over to the pull-down bar to get the next few questions up. So all this back and forthing is costing me time. Is there a way to minimize the questions so they are all on one screen?

I love it, too. But I swear I played yesterday and it isn't showing that I did. I hardly ever miss a day even though I feel like a dodo sometimes. I don't have pop-ups while I'm playing either. But sometimes my computer decides to slow down and it says it took me a lot longer to finish than I think it did. For a long time, I didn't realize you could go to "Standings" and see how you did for the day before or where you stand for the month. After I found that, it made it even more fun.

I'm not Casey, but I see what you mean Patti. I think it is just that a lot of people have exactly 8 points and it probably puts you in the order that you played (or maybe just random) and not by how fast you played. Doesn't really seem fair at this point, but by the end of the month it won't make a difference. That's my explanation anyhow. :-)

Ok, after the first quiz and I saw that TIME was part of the points... I have tried to hurry each time!! I am just floored at how quickly some people can complete the quiz! I consider myself to be fast, but very obviously I am NOT as I can't even do it under a minute!! Those times are amazing!! I will keep trying!

I didn't change it back to different questions!!!!!! I just double checked the settings and it is set to give everyone the same questions. I don't know why it wouldn't be doing that. My only guess is that some of you might be doing it after the quiz changes (not sure what time it changes though). Or maybe the game screws up every now and then......nothing is perfect, computers make mistakes and lose things and restart, etc.

Try going to View at the top of your screen and then zoom out before playing.

I tried going mouse-less while on vacation using my daughter's computer... that was a disaster. I felt better not playing at all. Are you sure you can't connect a mouse to your new macbook?

Lydia, that might work with the zoom. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to check it out. Thanks.

I have the same question that sleeper had.....I'm always slow, and have the same problem. Will have to try the zoom suggestion tomorrow, too.
