I don't know what FunTrivia is

I sympathise. I do so hate it when I overthink the question and then change it from the correct answer to a wrong answer.

I agree, I've done that a few times, then once I've pressed the 'submit' button I realise what an idiot I've been.

It's just the site that hosts the monthly quiz.

They pick from a pool of questions considered to be of similar difficulty, in some categories there are up to 6 levels, others may have only 3, some of the pools are quite small, so you get the questions repeating more regularly than others. If you are looking to change categories or levels it will tell you nhow many questions it is picking from. BE quiiz is set up for random questions, so that two people will not get the same questions, so logging on with two different names won't work,

Over thinking takes time.

Have a go at it, SOS. Frustrating at times but if anything else, you learn things.

Re: Trivia Chit Chat

For anyone wondering about the scoring system, everyone starts with 1000 points, you lose one point for every second taken, and 100 for every incorrect answer. It is possible for someone with only 9 correct to beat someone who gets all 10 right depending on time taken. If there are two people with the same score, then the one who played first gets the highest position.
