Whittling

[j4]

I've left the 'challengequiz' community -- I thought it would be fun, and I rather conceitedly thought that I had a moderate amount of general knowledge, but in fact (surprise, surprise) it's just yet another area where I'm thoroughly useless. I can rarely answer more than 2 questions on any of the quizzes, and it just depresses me. I guess I should have known better.

Slowly trying to whittle away all the things that just make me miserable. I guess eventually I'll whittle my life out of existence.

Apologies if my geek quizzes have contributed to this illusion.

Much less so than the others, to be honest; they're specialist quizzes in an area about which I know absolutely nothing, and as such I don't expect to be able to do them. But it upsets me when I can't get more than 1 or 2 questions on "easy" quizzes, or quizzes on things I should know about.

For the record, the lowest marks on them were 1 out of 32 and 2 out of 21 respectively.

I'm afraid I just don't really 'get' the point of entering when I can only answer 2 questions... I don't get a sense of achievement from it, I don't find it fun to stare blankly at a list of questions I can't answer, or to advertise to the world that I don't know anything about a given subject. Maybe I'm just weird. <shrug>
