FYI: I got #8 wrong, but for some reason it's not displaying the correct answer at the end of the quiz.

Obviously don't tell me the answer here.

It didn't display the correct answer to #1 for me.

Fixed the one question, I thought I had done the answer selection, but it didn't keep the click marked or something.

Always possible, but I'm inclined to believe that it's mostly people who read Fark a lot, have a pretty decent memory, and guess well on the ones they're not sure about.

11/11, 76 seconds, 1024. Only had to guess on one. Sorry, Spiffmonious.

I think the questions were written way too easy this week.

/not actually sorry

Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't thank darkhorse23 and CaptainWes for their efforts writing the questions. Thanks and kudos to both

Cripes, not even in the Top 10 this week.

At least I've been productive at work, though.

Thanks again Unfreakable, et al. for another great quiz.

Got 9/10 right. That is scary good for me. Only got the last one wrong. Most of my guesses tend to be whatever the weirdest answer will be.

/Currently top 10, but that will change.

I always try to make it hard, but yeah - if you read regularly and aren't brain-dead, most of them are pretty easy. Keep in mind that I started today on next week's quiz questions, and I write twice as many than end up on it.

I have to thank Unfreakable for taking my questions and fluffing them. He's very good at fluffing!

I use the tried and true method of randomly picking answers without reading anything. This week was a nice 379 points (4/11). You may think my method madness but it will work one of these days.

It should work about once every 3^11 weeks on average. In the grim darkness of the far future, you could be a winner several times over.

I like to think of it like a slot machine. You spend a couple of weeks getting her all warmed up and then 'BAM' payday.

Damn, there was a time when 10 out of 11 was good enough to get you in the top 10 on the hard list.

10 out of 11 correct, total points = 939 (Hard)

10 out of 10 correct, total points = 946 (Easy)

It's that easy...if you cared enough to make the top ten.

9 of 11 and I still can't make the top ten.

Side note: You could even make note of what position the correct answer was in (a, b, or c) and click the correct answers through without even looking at the words, for a faster time.

/please don't tell my boss

I'm your boss. Report to HR on Monday and tell them how well you did on the Fark quiz. Then demand that your boss double your salary. To support your demand for a raise request to to pee into a cup immediately. Any cup. Even a coffee cup. Then pull out your dick to show you are ready. It always works.
