7/15, though it honestly felt a lot worse than that - I knew all seven of the points I got, every single one of the eight guesses I made for the others was wrong.
Having looked back, there were seven questions with only three real answers (i.e. not involving
Gary Barlow's massive son, 30-50 feral hogs or naughty miniature daschunds
etc.) and six of these were the ones I got right and would have got right if there had been ten options.
The eight I had to guess only had one fake fourth option. That gives a mere 8.89892578125% chance of not getting at least one guess right, and my back of a chewing gum packet (I gave up smoking a few years ago) calculations suggests that guessing 2 right would be about the norm on pure random choice. For the seven I got right through actual knowledge, pure random guessing would give a 6.5843621399176954732510288065844% chance of not getting a single correct answer - a far lower number despite it being fewer questions.
To avoid all the negatives, there was a 91.10107421875% chance of getting a point randomly on the 8 answers I guessed and a 93.415637860082304526748971193416% chance of getting a point by guessing the seven answers I actually knew.
This is obviously grossly unfair.
In short, if you did better than me and had some guesses that got you points and they were on questions with fake fourth options, then you should probably have points deducted for being jammy or something. I'll be chairing a commission to look into a rule change for this. Stakeholders are welcome to fire their opinions into the heart of the sun.
PS: Though I make no copyright claim to the numbers published above I hereby grant permission to round them if you wish, though please not further than to 9 decimal places.
As it is, I'll do the quiz later, when I am not feeling so awful (I'm coming down with something, possibly the plague)... I just hope that @T4tomo doesn't see. 🤣
After the heat of last week's pure delirium fueled guesswork, I knew I'd probably have a fall, especially as I have not read much due to feeling crap, but FFS!
... 6/15 🙈🤦♂️🤣
113 and probably back down to 3rd again, even if that @C R was to score a 15.
