I am astounded. That is all I can say. Last week, knew I’d done well. This week, half of it was comedy guessing! :woman_facepalming:t2:

1274

I think only 2 were guesses? (which is a guess in itself :slightly_smiling_face:)

@MsSubExperimenter is my favourite score so far. I had to learn a new piece of code. :slightly_smiling_face:

Nope, more than 2 were guesses or at least hunches rather than knowns though a couple were also not known but mathematically work outable.

Assuming :heartpulse:2 is correct rather than :heartpulse:1 - I love that! :rofl:. Would not have got :green_heart:3 in an actual game of Trivial Pursuit as it took way too long to work out!

Also, looking at @MsSubExperimenter answers after submitting mine I didn’t read category properly and assumed :yellow_heart:1 was correct! :joy:

Thank you.

:rofl: Clearly 2021 is my year for Trivial Pursuit! Feel a bit of a cheat though as didn’t actually know much but maths helped with a few and random guesses helped with others!

…I swear I don’t actually speak Klingon (though fully respect those that do!) :+1:

Edit: it’s actually American Indian, not just Indian. I’ve corrected it :slightly_smiling_face:
