	Sporcle really should introduce some new time limits. 1 minute is too short, but 2 minutes is too long for this kind of quiz.

	Agree with Saggers, 30-second increments would be useful for the making of some quizzes.

	@All Why? Does your day get ruined when you finish the quiz with 30 seconds left on the clock? Do you really want people who type more slowly than you and don't know as many words to not finish and not have as much fun as you? It is not a race, it is a word ladder and the times are set so that most people who try them can finish, not so that only super fast who like to brag about their times can finish.

	@sproutcm: I'm guessing that most people want to be challenged when they take a quiz. With word ladders, the challenge is often in finishing the quiz before time runs out. If there is too much time on the clock there may be little challenge. This makes the quiz less enjoyable. I'm not taking either side on this issue, just pointing out the likely reason why those who posted want to change the time limit options.

	Sometimes I can finish a quiz ahead of time but I'm not a typist and need time to go back and type in the i where I put a u etc. 2 minutes is just fine.

	Clue for MALT should be "Soften grain for use..." [verb] or "Softened grain used for..." [noun]. Fun quiz, at any time limit.

	12:30 isn't noon.

	Grady_Cobalt:	Dec 30th, 2012 at 03:20 GMT		1 point
	You're right. 12:30 is half past noon. 12:00 p.m. is noon. And in this case, I will assume they mean 12:30 p.m. That help you understand?

	cmrncraz15:	Apr 15th, 2013 at 21:55 GMT		1 point
	Uh, no, because it's still not noon. That's like saying 12:30 a.m. is midnight. It's just wrong.
