[quote name='PlumeNoir']Well, so far, I was the closest I have ever been to the top ten: 2 points away.[/QUOTE]
I was actually first for a few questions in the video game round on Monday night, but then I had to use a skip to preserve my streak when I hit the wrong button accidentally.
Other than that, I've cracked the top ten a few times, but usually can't hold onto it as the questions begin to get harder.
Also, I added you as a friend. I can't believe I forgot to do that.
[quote name='Perfect*Ending']I made a post on Xbox.com about a potential tactic I called "leeching" that I hope gets fixed in the final version.

There are a few ways to fix it, like not showing you when the other people in your group lock their answers in, or by adding a delay when they do.
[quote name='Magus8472']Given the way people play the brain is almost always someone guessing randomly and going for the speed bonus who has just happened to be right thusfar; taking that help is akin to guessing randomly. In the very best case they're actually trying but facing the same (hopefully) difficult question you are.[/QUOTE]
The Brain sucks early on, but it's worth a shot later on.
Guessing randomly means you have a 1/3 chance of getting it right, and the odds of getting every question right by guessing decay exponentially - the odds of getting five right by guessing, for example, are (1/3)^5, or 1/243, or about 0.4%.
The Brain is probably
more helpful in the later questions, but then you've got to balance that against the increased difficulty of the questions.
