Celebrating Two Million Seconds - And Still Counting Down

At exactly 4:26:40 p.m. on Saturday 8/17/2013 New York time, how many of you celebrated the moment when there were 2,000,000 seconds until Million Second Quiz hits the airwaves?  I was on a plane from San Francisco to Austin, so I had to hoot and holler very quietly under my breath to avoid detention by Federal authorities.  That would have been a very unfortunate way to be disqualified from the show.

When I got home, I discovered that there is now a way to play the Million Second Quiz on my laptop, so I signed up and played 27 games.  I won 26 and tied 1, while earning 10,260 points.  This qualified me to be a "Line Jumper," so my name is now in the system as a candidate to play in prime time.

It's a fun game and I'll be playing it a lot more in the days to come.  You should, too.  Sign up and see if you ever get assigned to play against EdT in Austin, Texas.  That would be me, so be prepared to lose!

Remember, Million Second Quiz starts 8 p.m. EDT on NBC.  I think it's a good omen that EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is the same three letters as my player name.  Sorry, but everyone else is playing for second place!
