One thing I love/hate about LL is the frequency with which an answer does not come to me right away, but there's at least some shot of "noodling" it, or just sitting back in hopes of the answer coming to me. I'm fairly knowledgeable with the sort of things trivia contests are built around, so I have a solid base... this sort of thing is basically my strongest suit.

For me, the toughest is the time I spend on a question where I have some tiny inkling that it might come to me, but it doesn't. Today, I gave up in agony on one specific question, only to see the correct answer upon submission and growl out a "oh hell I totally knew that." Happens fairly often. But the, maybe, two minutes of time spent putting down my phone, closing my eyes, and trying to summon that answer... it felt like an eternity.
