When you have no freacking clue what the answer is, this it the perfect time to do one of many things. A few examples: refilling your drink, having a smoke, potty break, going to the ridbar, swinging on a swing or hammock, or singing/typing song lyrics.
Now that i think about it the crappy cats were meant for time management. just imagine how sober....i mean dehydrated someone can get from playing ridic...its an hardcore game.
One thing that's worked really well for me over the years is to type the more obscure answers first, that why while everyone else is fighting over who can be first to type the obvious answers you can get in 3 or 4 obscure answers. Of course you need to know the obscure answers to do this but that's why we practice hours and hours, right?
When in doubt, Guess! Whatever jumps into your mind type it as fast as you can and ultimately somewhere along the line you'll get one! Sometimes it's not exactly what you type but bot gives it to you if it's close sometimes, just like he takes it away for no apparent reason other times!
