ONE of the games that shows up on the daily events every two or three days is something called Quizzy's Blast. It's a dart board. You toss a virtual dart and it lands on a spot on the board that is assigned a certain value, high or low depending on what the power meter is on at that second.
The trick is that the values constantly change every second, from +5 to -5 and the different blocks also change color as well. Each color is a different subject. If you land in that block and then answer the trivia question correctly, you get that number of points. If you answer incorrectly, you get no points. However, you can still answer correctly and get no points. The correct answer itself is worth 5 points, but if you land in it when it is at -5, you get nada. On the other hand, if you land on it at +5, you get ten points.
Quizzy's Blast, like Balloon Darts, suffers from hiccups. Sometimes instead of five darts you only get one. Or you get no points or something locks up and then you can't go back in.
Tonight was the opposite problem: you went in and it said 0 darts. Nuts, malfunctioning again! You try to get out and it says, "Wait, if you get out you can't use the rest of your darts! Do you still want to leave?"
If you answered no, suddenly you had five darts and took your turns.
Except after you tossed a dart it still said five darts. It still said five darts after tossing five darts.
I tossed darts for 40 minutes and earned W1406, and all the time it said I had five darts left. And even though the play hour was up, it would have let me keep going. Weird. It finally got boring and was moving like cold syrup because there were so many flash darts on the screen.
Shoot! (Shoot Again! And Again...)
