why not just have a skip button? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 20, 11:28 7
- isn't guessing wrong basically a skip button? -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:29 1
  - not when you're playing for statistical superiority. It's like losses versus OT losses versus shootout losses. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:29
- a skip button that shows an ad and then lets the user skip? ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:29 4
  - ha. "Dumbass. Since you didn't know, watch this ad. We promise the next question will cater to your limited skill level." -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:29 3
    - And ad and a small useless factoid. - tRuMaN Oct 20, 11:32
    - "The last person who skipped that question became a President of the USA" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:30 1
      - "Really? Really. OK, if you'd like to bail out now, click here to watch bright colors gently swirl in a circle. Otherwise, I guess you can continue." -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:32
or at least add a way for users to flag questions that don't make sense out of context. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:27 5
- exactly right....we've added this to our notes -- nm - prayformojo Oct 20, 11:30 3
  - also: are you going to make me watch 2 Broke Girls all season to finish that quiz? - TFox Oct 20, 11:31 2
    - i can take over 2BG if you want...just let me know at what point you want to bail - prayformojo Oct 20, 11:36 1
      - i'll give it another week or so, and i'll definitely try to make questions for the season to date. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:38
- Yeah. Also, since some of the quiz questions sort of play off of previous questions in the same quiz ... - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:28
