No technical issues today, but Black Swan almost got me - I only put in notes Natalie Portman as the lead actress and totally forgot that Swan Lake has TWO swans (inexcusable mistake for me as a part-Russian and having classical upbringing). Good thing I read a bit more (on everything) while doing research so managed to pick the right answer at the last moment.

Visual bug on number 3, luckily, only visual. Was odd this time, once I had selected an answer the timer stopped and didn't count down to 0.

You win some, you lose some. Ain't the end of the world.

(But what if it was...? o_0
Every quiz-show on TV would be an impending doom, just waiting to happen....)

Given the quality of most TV quiz celebrity contestants I wouldn't bet on having a second season. Or second episode.

Any reason for the decreasing amount of quizzes? Many people have been sending new quizzes to help out and yet we haven't had a "normal quiz week" in a while

Probally vacations and for some work overload aswell, besides I don't mind having quiz once or twice a week if it results in a good quiz instead off something put together really fast (meaning the hints and topic are both "checked" )

Bug on Q1, but going by the log, it was only a visual one. Sadly, wasn't paying attention and picked the wrong Tom in Q2.

Almost overslept today, barely had time to finish minigame + research before quiz started, but turned out 10/10.
Good quiz!

I dont think it was only visual , because I answered all other questions correctly , but didn't receive anything

The bug can be only visual, or it can also be one that makes it so that it isn't counted. Which of the cases it is, at least as far as we users are concerned, is random. I have a few ideas, how it happens on the server side, but without seeing the actual code, it's only speculations.
As to how I know that it was only visual for me, I have been logging the responses, and the one I got was a normal one.

Also possible to check this with using "Last quiz points" result on main GalaQuiz page. Sometimes this maybe just a visual "bug".
If you answered on most questions correctly, except on 2nd question, then it's 550 - 2 * 10 = 530 points.
If all, except 1st and 2nd questions:
550 - (1 + 2) * 10 = 520 points.
If correct answers for all questions:
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10) * 10 = 550 points.

So, if you have 530 for "Last quiz points", then 1st question was answered/processed right in your case. Said just in case.

Hmmm, I have 540 points won on Last quiz, meaning I "only" answered the first question wrongly , which I know for a fact that I answered correctly . Which was who played Comodus on Gladiator movie , I answered Joaquin Phoenix .

Quizmaster's inbox is allegedly overflowing with Quizapprentice submissions, yet we get a repeat quiz. Is this a less than subtle way of telling us that we stink?
