This teeters on enjoyment -- which of you can achieve the highest score, eh?

― Charles Hatcher (musenheddo), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

634 points. There you go.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:46 (twenty-two years ago)

977 points. Almost punk.

― Phoebe Dinsmore, Monday, 26 January 2004 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

963.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 26 January 2004 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

800 and 70something the first time, then 991, but some of the questions were repeated.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 26 January 2004 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

766. Must try harder.

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 26 January 2004 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

853, then 1002

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 26 January 2004 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

1006 !

825 - can be a bit crap with clock ticking

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 26 January 2004 17:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Nope.

only question i got wrong was 'which American car company went bankrupt after launching the Edsel' (or something like that)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 26 January 2004 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

1017 (third time round, got in the high 900s the other two times).

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 26 January 2004 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

grr i got 1015 but ailsa beat me

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 26 January 2004 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

This is, incidentally, the crappiest idea Channel 4 have had for some time. Ditching Fifteen to One for a load of old toss with too many silly rules and not enough questions presented by two-thirds of the Goodies...grrrr :(

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 26 January 2004 18:21 (twenty-two years ago)

860.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 26 January 2004 18:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Now just got up to 1033. I kind of rule at this. Should I apply to go on the telly? The prizes are better than Fifteen to One (money vs ancient old pots, hmmmm)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 26 January 2004 18:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate this programme on the telly, but it was fun to play online.

924 on my first attempt. Quiz games are addictive :)

― C J (C J), Monday, 26 January 2004 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

986

Thanks the Simpsons, I knew the answer to the last one was LORD PALMERSTON and not PITT THE ELDER.

― Leee Majors (Leee), Monday, 26 January 2004 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Gah, my 1031 was ruling until Ailsa spoilt my fun. (2nd go, 1st go 839)

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 26 January 2004 21:06 (twenty-two years ago)

bah why couldn't i get that Simpsons one instead of 'which dead writer wrote a book about his home county of Dorset' or whatever it was

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 26 January 2004 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish there were more questions in the bank - it kind of spoils it for repeat plays when you don't even need to fullly read the question for lots of them.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 09:23 (twenty-two years ago)

a disappointing 727

did you know that a male rabbit is not called a "jack rabbit"?
i do, now.

― Slump Man (Slump Man), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 10:36 (twenty-two years ago)

1024, but the last question is weighted quite heavily?

― gareth (gareth), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 11:23 (twenty-two years ago)

966, but the questions are a bit tough for a non-Brit non-English speaker.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

It’s entertaining that ex-Goodie presenter, Tim Brooke-Taylor, when stating the game show’s website, instead of “W, w, w,” uses “Three w’s.”
