Thanks for this post. Sometimes I have to go to my regular dictionary but some words aren't even in there. Duh, I have the computer right in front of me. I don't know why I play these games I never win and can't play for money because my state of Illinois won't allow it. I guess I play out of boredom I don't get to get out alot. Anyways thanks for cauf I wasn't sure on that one. Thanks wakedaddy!

How about a thread dedicated to answers for those pesky bonus questions . . .

Midnight (stays up until 8:00 a.m.);

4:00 a.m. (stays up until noon);

8:00 a.m. (stays up until 3:00 p.m.); **they've since changed this and it stays up now until 4:00 p.m.

Noon (stays up until 6:00 p.m. --I don't know why they don't keep this up until the next question comes--but they don't);

SECRET WORD at 3:00-3:15 p.m. (stays up until midnight);

8:00 p.m. (stays up until midnight).

All times are Eastern. Hope this helps!

Found this in another thread by squishmar hope it helps wakedaddy820.
If you plan to continue to help the community with the trivia could you edit your top post with that days answers? Would make it much easier to find. Thanks for the help.

Does anyone have the answer to the question "What world famous church has a statue of Martin Luther King?"

edit your top post with that days answers

Thanks for the info on the trivia posting times but I'm not sure what you mean (i.e. quote) but an easy way to find this thread would be to subscribe to it. . . . At the top-right of the page directly above all of the posts (i.e. the thread) is a drop-down menu titled "Thread Tools" which includes "Subscribe to this Thread…" After you're subscribed, use the "Quick Links" options at the top of the forum page which includes "Subscribed Threads" . . . You may already be subscribed by making a post but that's dependent on your settings. I could walk you through that too if you like. . . .

4/17 @ ¿8pm? :: In 2012, Washington D.C. celebrates the 100th anniversary of a gift of Cherry Trees from which country: Japan

What high HORSE-power sports car was unveiled on this day 1964: Mustang

^Anyone know how the points are allocated? I notice I earn more oodles the earlier in the day I answer. . . . I received 52 today and I think 47 yesterday.^

This thread might be a good idea for some people. I mean, there is a thread for the Secret Word though, GSN shows it on TV throughout the afternoon 3-6pm ET and they used to post it on the Snap page. I don't see no harm in this.

[plaskey]

What i mean is edit your original post so the answers are easier to find. The reason i say this is the mess on the Secret Word thread. It's really long with a lot of people thanking rachelrunt ,which she deserves, or asking what it is. That makes it annoying to find some days. At least for me it can be

[wakedaddy820]

The problem with that is I don't expect to be the only person to post the answers. I started this thread in hopes that multiple people would post so we can all help each other. And I don't think it's that messy (at least on most days) but I also have my settings so the newest posts are shown first so I don't have to scan to the last page and then scroll down . . . I simply load the thread and scroll down to wherever I last read (or to the post I want to read). If the newest post is what I want then I don't have to scroll anything. . . . Anyways, I'm off for the night so let's earn some more oodles tomorrow!

Thanks, plaskey for posting the times I had on another thread... when I saw the question asking about them, I thought I'd have to go search for where I had them before (or write them again).

For anyone interested, there is a Facebook page that has every answer, every day, to every single Bonus Trivia Question... and the Secret Word. It's not affiliated with GSN but the members are mostly members of the official GSN Chat page. I can't post the name here, but if you are interested, Private Message me for the name and I'll let you know. (Or maybe do a search on Facebook...)

It's so convenient and the people there are great. I get all the correct answers delivered to my real email. You'll never get one wrong again!

[1stAmericanRose]

What if we do not belong to FB? When you go to the site, does it ask to sign in? I do not belong to Twit or FB... or anyother of those Forums...

[wakedaddy820]

I can't post the name here

And why not . . . ? Also, third-party forums are great for those who want to register elsewhere but, the way I see it, GSN asks the questions so why not have discussions about them on a GSN sponsored forum? Just makes sense to me. And if you're referring to the "frog" FB page, I use that for GAC Superfan answers and I find it difficult to find answers because of how FB works. ( am I gonna get in trouble for mentioning those two things?)

Anyways, here's the two questions presented to me when I logged in:

4/18 :: Created by jus4hugs: Which of these famous news anchors was a high school dropout? Peter Jennings
4/18 :: Who was the original hostess of "Wheel of Fortune" from 1975 to 1982? Susan Stafford
