I could not figure out what a Taoisearch was, got hit with a wrestling question, then something from the Portuguese language.

My opponent flew by with a 1917 which is 20/20 average difficulty questions at 83 seconds. My highest score on these FunTrivia Knockout Rounds in 1920 and I was in the zone that day.

I got a 1571 yesterday guessing 17/20 of these right in 129 seconds.

The Taoisearch is the Irish Prime Minister. The word is from the Gaelic language.

Role of the Taoiseach - Department of Taoiseach (http://www.taoiseach.gov.ie/eng/Taoiseach_and_Government/About_the_Taoiseach/Role_of_the_Taoiseach/)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoiseach

The word Taoisearch is pronounced close to teacher but with a very strong Gaelic accent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoiseach

Does not seem related to the word teacher though. teach - WordReference.com Dictionary of English (http://www.wordreference.com/definition/teach)

You should try FunTrivia's Knockout Rounds if you like trivia or just enjoy learning about new things.

Fun Trivia Quizzes - World's Largest Trivia and Quiz Site! (http://www.funtrivia.com/?ref=Taltarzac)

I do not remember writing the Irish Prime Minister about my 224 613 Project but I have written many many other various other countries' leaders about this. So, I did not catch the Taoisearch question that way. Remember that I have been doing this one the Internet since 1999 or by snail mail since January 1991. I mean fighting for practical materials for survivors/victims of crimes in libraries. These resources will vary tremendously by county, state, province, country according to what the local resources which are available to this group.

Right. It does look hard. Not one of the languages I have studied or dabbled with in some way.

There are lots of Quizzes on various foreign languages on FunTrivia but many of these have very difficult questions. Languages Quizzes and Languages Trivia -- Fun Trivia (http://www.funtrivia.com/ql.cfm?cat=50)

The FunTrivia Knockout Questions are usually average in difficulty.

There are some tremendous Trivia experts on that site though who are incredibly fast and accurate. These are multiple choice questions so itis not like Jeopardy where you have to say the answers or write them in. They do have some Fill It In Quizzes which I find a lot harder.

That's good.

I just got an Epic Challenge (Epic Quizzer III) which requires me to get around 9600 points in 17 categories in the Quiz Mode. This will keep me busy today. I have been trying to get the Ten in a Day Badgelet and that has generated several Epic Challenges.

The Epic Challenge was a bust. Too many Quizzes to take in too short a time. I needed another eight hours yesterday to take it and believe it or not I have other things to do than just computer stuff.

Looks like Bazingstoke's user profile -- FunTrivia.com (http://www.funtrivia.com/profile/Bazingstoke.html) Bazingstoke won the Weekly Tournament I was in this go-around.

17 categories with at least 9600 points in each. This would have taken me a good eight hours of time on the computer and just on FunTrivia.

For this challenge you will be playing quizzes using the Quiz Game mode. You must collect 9600 points in each of the following categories: Television, Hobbies, Music, Religion, Literature, Animals, Celebrities, Movies, Sci / Tech, Sports, Geography, History, People, Humanities, World, For Children, General. You may retake quizzes that you have not played in the last 30 days.
