@BOATSHED Australia or Canada doesn't get the question early, and stop calling me Surely!! 😁In Canada Eastern Time Zone we get the question at 8 pm local time. I think it is in squence of answering. I will answer moments after 8 pm EST and be the first at the top of the list. I will check back a couple of hours later (really, no life) and find more names above mine.

Having answered QoD in Australia the timing for a new question is still UK time for midnight or thereabouts.

I think the earlier in the day that you answer the question, the higher you are on the correct order of the list.
If you chech, that's why Austrailia are top as they are, What ? 12 hours in front of us so surely they get the question first.
Could it be a time order of when the question was answered?

I did have a look into this…
It seems it’s totally arbitrary the order of members scoring the same. Not based on surname, username, when registered, last online, or anything particularly. Simply however the database happens to retrieve the data.
An order could be put in… but what would make it fair? Rank maybe? 😆

Why worry where you are on the leaderboard, does it give you any advantage. Live with it, it’s only a game

This comes clearly under 'oneupmanship' a puerile example at attempting to force people like me with a surname beginning with V to the bottom. Unfortunately, I can do that for myself, but it shows how dog eat dog it is at the top!

Just wondering - now that so many people are in the 100% club and I have my own views on why that is - what is the order in which there names are displayed - is it random, those who answered first or is there indeed a ranking system in the 100% club ?

Sod it I got mixed up with when Mount Vesuvius blew up! How the mighty have fallen, not me but there were 11% of us. Never mind it will be a good day today! My birthday has come around again and we have a family lunch scheduled.

Ok Ross glad it's working again. I was going to put something about the likes bit at the very bottom of the comments page but I had to end my reply abruptly as my glucose meter readings were alerting me to get my meal asap 🤔☺, which I have just eaten. I have been a diabetic for over 66 years!!
I'm not into stopping to make and to eat meals when I could be doing more interesting things like building models ☺ or not so interesting like gardening 😐. There's just not enough hours in the day!! 😀.

@Steves-s Hi Steve, 9 hours ago the LIKED BY . . . line went missing, but then it came back
Hi RossM

QotD 19.7.26 A hangover from the original format😝
Hi Edw, 8 now I forgot to do the Friday one!
Roy
I'ts been nearly a month since I had a go. All caught up now..
@EdW I think a while ED - the questions have become notably easier
6 of us at the top at 100%, any bets on how long will it last and who will fall first.
🤣
The expression ebb and flow, comes from this.
