It also accused me of cheating: "Ouais, c'est ça, et tu vas me dire que t'as pas trichee ?? Mon cul ouais, tout ça parce que t'es bete.." My french is horrible, but it looks as if it's saying something like "Yeah, that's it, and you tell me you haven't cheated? My ass yeah, it's all because you are stupid." Not so sure about the translation on the last sentence, there's an idiom I'm obviously not getting there.

If I'd beaten it on a single credit, no continues ... would I still be "rewarded" with a picture of a reclining and naked (though modestly posed) young David Hasselhoff and a couple of wrinkly (shar-peis?) dogs ?

(sorry I didn't check CT until Saturday). The snooker game was fascinating too, just to watch the high-friction animation. Labyflou was funny. Consider my whole household addicted, even though some of them won't learn of this until the morning. Wow, thanks! (sorry I didn’t check CT until Saturday).

"You were smart for: 40.628 seconds I think you cheated! Or you're smart, but people like you are so rare, mmh it's strange..." whoohoo!

“You were smart for: 40.628 seconds

I think you cheated! Or you’re smart, but people like you are so rare, mmh it’s strange…”

The ver game is an enlightening experience. I never realized before how mutually reinforcing could be a sentence like “you smell like farts” and the picture of BHL (or Sarkozy, or Pasqua).

My reward? "Wahou, quel score! Bon, c'est pas encore le top, mais c'est quand meme pas mal quand on voit ta tete." It's not exactly subtle as backhanded compliments go.

Good fun for a few minutes though. Yeah, gets very tough once you get to 30s and beyond, the small ball starts moving fast enough to no allow you any real chance of stabilising the lower ball.
