I hit the first 9 (yessss!) then lost my mojo.

Guy @speechwriterguy.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Pretty average quiz this week, not super easy, not We All Will Score 4/12 and Curse the Gods. What is everybody doing during this Super El-Nino weekend? #slate #newsquiz @masinger.bsky.social @halftongue.bsky.social @mededitor.bsky.social @chrisfarnsworth.bsky.social @roblobster.bsky.social

Guy @speechwriterguy.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Holy cow. I tanked, but you gotta know the right answer and pick wrong to get 39 points, a new QUIZ TANK RECORD. What's everybody up to this weekend? #slate #newsquiz @masinger.bsky.social @halftongue.bsky.social @mededitor.bsky.social @chrisfarnsworth.bsky.social @roblobster.bsky.social

Guy @speechwriterguy.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Tough quiz this week! I guessed like crazy while the #Slate staffer got obliterated. (Yes, average score says zero. Maybe I was the first civilian to take it today?) @masinger.bsky.social @halftongue.bsky.social @mededitor.bsky.social @chrisfarnsworth.bsky.social @roblobster.bsky.social

Guy @speechwriterguy.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Ok, the Slate science quiz may not be a great option.

Guy @speechwriterguy.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

This week's quiz is beatable! I didn't completely crush it, but y'all are brilliant and could nail this thing. Happy Friday! #SLATE #newsquiz @masinger.bsky.social @halftongue.bsky.social @mededitor.bsky.social @chrisfarnsworth.bsky.social @roblobster.bsky.social

Happy Friday! This week's quiz is not beatable. If you do better than 7/12, buy two lottery tickets and give them both to somebody you hate. #SLATE #newsquiz @masinger.bsky.social @halftongue.bsky.social @mededitor.bsky.social @chrisfarnsworth.bsky.social @roblobster.bsky.social

Semi-tanked the quiz but beat the average score. I'm in a suit & tie again for the legislative session -- how is everybody else? Also: happy Friday! @masinger.bsky.social @halftongue.bsky.social @mededitor.bsky.social @chrisfarnsworth.bsky.social @roblobster.bsky.social

Brutal quiz this week. Look at the #slate staffer's score--have you seen one lower? Can't remember anyone tanking harder. I got lucky to hit 9/12. Happy Friday!! @masinger.bsky.social @halftongue.bsky.social @mededitor.bsky.social @chrisfarnsworth.bsky.social @roblobster.bsky.social

Guy @speechwriterguy.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

I tanked this week's quiz like no one has tanked before. Spock's tricorder can't even register this level of tankitude. Happy Friday to you all, and good luck! @masinger.bsky.social @halftongue.bsky.social @mededitor.bsky.social @chrisfarnsworth.bsky.social @roblobster.bsky.social

Guy @speechwriterguy.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

Tough quiz -- the slate staffer got smushed into a little ball and thrown into the recycling bin. Low low low average score. I guessed a ton. Good luck! @masinger.bsky.social @halftongue.bsky.social @mededitor.bsky.social @chrisfarnsworth.bsky.social @roblobster.bsky.social
