32nd FunTrivia Knockout Tournament Win.
 
FunTrivia Elimination Tournament Bracket Chart

Finally after a year or more of competing in trivia on FunTrivia for this victory I did it but by only 10 points. 1693 to 1703. 18/20 questions right in 97 seconds got me a score of 1703. My best is around 1920. 20/20 in 80 seconds. I have lost by less than that before. One I believe at some point.

I faced a man or woman from Africa on Friday's knockout round. Some of these people are quite interesting to share messages with even if the FunTrivia people watch them for any kind of ungentlemanly conduct which will get you booted from the site immediately.

The competitor I faced apapa is from Lagos, Nigeria. I believe I have lost to him/her a few times before. There are some world class trivia players on the FunTrivia site but the identities of the players is in their control for the most part. I have had some nice chats with players from China, Florida, Minnesota, New York City and State, and many other places since I joined FunTrivia around May of 2013.

There are a few other Villagers on here and zcaveman had been on here competing for a while which was really cool. Really miss him on the various computer arenas we shared. zcaveman88's User Profile -- FunTrivia.com

Looks like I won the last time on 5/21/2016 in a FunTrivia Weekly Knockout. SteveC_'s User Profile -- FunTrivia.com

You do face tougher and tougher opponents as you move up the leader board. Yesterday's 20 questions covered Australian geography, American movies, The Old Testament, among many other things. Cricket and English TV shows sometimes come up in questions with a lot of soccer, Harry Potter, and other stuff.

Hope I can get that 33rd win much sooner than I was able to get that 32nd. A year almost-- 364 days, between my 31st and 32nd weekly victory. I have been very busy with other stuff though and not spending a lot of time on FunTrivia playing quizzes and daily trivia jousts.

Have apapa today again as my opponent in Tuesday's FunTrivia Knockout Round. Not looking forward to this. For someone living in Lagos, Nigeria he seems incredibly well informed about US movies, sports, books, history, etc.

Beat Apapa Again but Now Face Someone in Vietnam.

Somehow managed to have another victory against apapa but now face someone from Leicester Vietnam. spinhootler's User Profile -- FunTrivia.com Maybe someone connected to the soccer club there?

Won against the Englishman woman living in Vietnam last night. But face a lady in Colorado today who looks like quite a good player.

I do chat with these people once in a while but usually about trivial stuff.

Lost to LuckyLady. I missed a question about anatomy and one about bowling. Where is my nurse friend when I need her? :(

I did pick up two wins this week. I often am stuck eating a donut all week long. That is a loss in the first day.

Try FunTrivia's Knockout Tournaments. Helps keep the mind a little sharper. And you can make friends all over the world as long as you treat them with respect and courtesy. Otherwise, they might boot you off. It is a very family oriented kind of site.
