    Thanks for sharing!
    I've just reduced your chance to win from 1:95846 to 1:95847!

    And pretty sure it's fridge. Who in their mind would use such a name...

    haha I wouldn't be surprised if there's a timer that counts how long it takes to answer them all.

    Once you go over a certain time your answers and scrapped because you had time to look it up.
