Thanks again to the Farkers who wrote this quiz. I'm very much in the debt of darkhorse23 and CaptainWes, who have taken up the cause of breaking your collective brains with their tough quiz questions. If anybody else is interested in submitting a few questions to stump your fellow Farkers, please send me an email and we'll talk.

RabidDog: CaptainWes wrote the questions and came first. Shocking.

He sets his alarm clock for 5:00 a.m., submits headlines, and goes back to bed because he says that is the best time to do so.

Someone had to beta test the quiz. Yeah, that's it.

Many thanks to CaptainWes Unfreakable, and the love of my life, darkhorse23

Currently #1 for the easy quiz, 10/10 in 128 sec. I dont know whether to laugh or cry. Probably cry.

50-50 guessing works again!

I'm noticing a distinct correlation between lurkers and high scores. Am I wrong?

So if you do well on the quiz you should feel bad about yourself, right?

Are we supposed to feel bad if we do poorly or is it if we do well?

Blasted lag got me clicking on the wrong thing at the wrong time. :( Still temporarily on the board though.

I don't need a quiz to feel badly about myself.

If you do badly, you get a low score.
If you do well, it means you have no life.

The only winning move is to not play.

I was travelling all week too, RAD. In fact, I waved at you while driving through Chicago on Tuesday, did you see me?

But hopefully it's at least fun to take, even if your score isn't topped out yet

They always are fun to take.

My thanks again to you, darkhorse23, and CaptainWes (and whomever else may have contributed).

These seem to be getting more difficult (which is a good thing).
