It is bumping me off before getting the million? of course I am getting the questions right.!

You did notice you are working under a timer right? I suggest always reading every word as they may or may not be crucial.

The pop ups was the issue. Got it and thanks again for a great contest. Always a challenge that I can't put down until I get it. Thanks to the sponsors and others who have donated prizes to make this happen. Merry Christmas to all!

I find sometimes the popup window is behind the browser.
It was doing this when I ask the audience.

Well I had to change browsers to see the messages after the quiz, then I just had to take them over and over until I could get to the one remaining one I needed and figure out the few questions that stumped me. Very well designed. Happy Season to one and all.
Oh and special thanks to Logrite, et al for sponsoring, and the other prize donors like Doc, Corely, and The Cfarm.

my laptop is Microsoft edge. My other one uses chrome and I will try it. I still cannot get the end message. I do not even read the questions, just know the answer, and almost know the pattern of response before the next question. I can do a set of questions in less than a minute.

Old Greenhorn · December 09, 2020, 08:56:42 PM

It was chrome I had the problem with and I switched to edge and it worked. With edge, the popup was behind the browser screen.
Yeah, I think a few of us got really good at blindly plugging in the correct answers. ;D I finally figured out some things to help me find the one remaining quiz a little easier, that one did not seem to come up 'randomly' enough for my tastes. :D You got time Doc, you will figger it out.

doc henderson · December 09, 2020, 09:07:52 PM

it was the opposite for me. all set up and always signed in to edge. so I logged in on chrome. I turned off pop ups 3 times and made no difference, but when logging in on chrome it asked me if I wanted to see notifications, and I said yes. must be the way I set it up. I am in. finally got it. would have never worked on M. Edge. at least I could not make it work. :christmas:

It took me a while to find time complete the contest.

Jeff, Thanks for creating the contest.

Thanks to members and sponsors that donated gifts.

I've worked on it a few times, but that DanG clock keeps running out on me. I get into it and the phone rings or something else interrupts me but the count-down clock just don't care. >:(

Jeff, I know whenever you create something like this it is very difficult to predict how difficult it will turn out to be for the users. Your contests I have always found to be very challenging and not something I can skate through when I have a few minutes, I have to work at it for several hours, usually more. This was my 3rd contest and one of the things I learned too late is that one does better if one takes notes along the way. On this one you have to restart on the path many times and knowing which of those 5 paths you are on will really help. I didn't really look at the prizes much because I haven't been that lucky yet, but those are wonderful bonuses. With so many who eventually navigate the gauntlet, my odds will be pretty low when drawing time comes around anyway. There is still plenty of time to get it done and I am sure a LOT more folks will find success.
Thanks again to everyone who puts so much effort into this.

It was the tech. issues that made it hard after the initial several runs. I turned off the pop up and changed from chrome to edge. I prob. spent 3 hours and got to the point I could move the mouse to the proper answer before it popped up, and without reading the question. It was multifactorial and like a mission impossible. but all that know, it should pave the way for the others. still time.

JJ · December 15, 2020, 03:48:51 PM

Don't trust the audience :D.
My phone a friend was Jeff, and I think he was messing with me.

Thank you Jeff, all the sponsors to FF, and the prize donors :christmas:
