@divegeester saidThe sabbatical was from setting quizzes. Divvy.
Excellent got a “divvy” out of you.
I’d say you would probably benefit from more time away on “sabbatical” than a few hours, and less use of words like “thrice”.
@wolfgang59 saidDivvy didn't understand this.
This will be the last quiz for a while as interest is waning.
@wolfgang59 saidThis?
I hope the "Yay" is for the next quiz and not the fact that I'm taking a break!!!
@wolfgang59 saidAnd this.
You'll be reigning champ for awhile as I'm taking a sabbatical.

I did look up your quoted piece, but then I googled myself.
Find it hard to believe that a shuttlecock is faster than a golf ball off Rory Mc's driver, or several other items in sport.
However, the question master is always right
Nice quizzes, thanks
@blood-on-the-tracks saidThanks for your thanks!

The question was admittedly ambiguous but other wordings gave it away.
(e.g. sport with fastest projectile)
Having played table-tennis, badminton and squash at
reasonable level I'd say squash is the faster game!
Those ice-hockey pucks are quick too!
The thing with a shuttle-cock is that it slows down quickly,
the speeds quoted are for the instant it leaves racquet.

@wolfgang59 saidGoodness, I wasn’t aware that it was so taxing on you. Let’s all hope you manage to recover fully.

@divegeester saidNeither was I.

Why would you think that?
More of your defective ESP?

@wolfgang59 saidNo not really. I noted (a few times) that the mini quiz idea was very good and gave you sincere deserved credit for the initiative and I do hope you will return refreshed and full of new ideas to develop the concept. This forum needs posters like yourself who have the ability to generate nifty ideas and present them in a simple format.

I just wasn’t expecting you to fade so early in your new found popularity and need a “sabbatical”; perhaps you felt you were becoming overexposed.
PS, if you like I would be happy to help come up with quiz topics or side-challenges should you wish to reach out.
