I rather enjoy these, and I know I tend to "score high" but I also have the boon of getting to pause and think about it for a moment. I imagine doing it live I'd suck a bit more.
Yooo! Almost a full clear on Round 3 and 4, very impressive. I'm always second guessing whether I make these too hard or too easy, but I get a constant feed of people saying both, so I'd say that's the ideal outcome.
The buzzer decides a lot of the easier ones too, If you buzz too slow someone else will likely snipe in. Maj was giving Trav a run for his money before Round 4 kicked in.
