Perhaps it depends on at what stage in the competition we're at as well. More difficult bonus questions in the latter rounds I'd expect.Manny the Lionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05898194760419997686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-83696920517290011342016-08-06T03:54:51.601-07:002016-08-06T03:54:51.601-07:00Sporcle is excellent as is Memrise app. Sporcle is excellent as is Memrise app. Gavin Tillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008941854879044026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-51190577341959024242016-08-05T13:45:47.145-07:002016-08-05T13:45:47.145-07:00Hi guys

Agree that their bonus rate, 20/42, if improved, could make them major title contenders. Liverpool did OK (7/16 bonuses), but they were simply outplayed on the buzzer for the most part.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-493247023187369202016-08-05T10:54:08.624-07:002016-08-05T10:54:08.624-07:00I liked the bonuses on flags.
