Update:

Added a 120 second timeout for each question after it loads.

120 seconds seems like a long time, as I notice most people (like me) click "next" and answer within 10 to 30 seconds, and often faster; so 120 seconds seems fair for everyone; but we can change it of course.

Current stats:

Code:
mysql> select count(*) from neo_trivia_scoreboard;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|     4674 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Top 40 by number of questions per user (hashed for guests):

Code:
mysql> select left(MD5(ipaddress),12) as hash, count(ipaddress),username, country from neo_trivia_scoreboard  where uid != 1 group by ipaddress,username,country  order by count(ipaddress) desc limit 40;
+--------------+------------------+--------------+---------+
| hash         | count(ipaddress) | username     | country |
