Last week, I had said that I wasn't able to do the quiz any longer, and that unless some farkers stepped up to write questions, the quiz was going to go.

Last week, a whole lot of people stepped up to help keep this thing going, and I owe them their due this week. Credit to: cjoshuav, ivan, Bathia_Mapes, Sinto, Current Resident, Tziva, MaxxLarge and ras django for offering their time this week. Thanks to everybody who helped put it together this week.

oh well. Glad to see the quiz still going :)

Tziva		2012-03-02 04:08:26 PM

^{(Ignore me on the list. I didn't read the questions in advance -- as you can tell from my score -- but probably shouldn't be filling it out anyway)}

Good to see folks were able to help. And man, I still suck at these - 4/11.

Thanks a lot to all the Farkers that stepped up and keep this going. I appreciate having one more thing to do at work that isn't work.

Looks like a lot of people didn't do so hot this week, so I might still stay in the top 10 with 7 out of 11!

Working on this was a lot of fun. And it felt pretty good to "give something back" to Fark. Y'know...apart from my monthly five-spot.

Thanks to Unfreakable for the invite to participate.

Boy, sucked this week. Recognized most of the headlines but didn't have the time to RTAs. Great questions and answers to all those that helped

MaxxLarge:
Thanks to Unfreakable for the invite to participate.

Indeed.

Now I'm going to take the quiz to see how it turned out. I promise I'll answer them all wrong.

Thanks to all who worked to keep this going. I didn't realize what a part of my Friday routine this quiz was until I didn't think I was going to be able to take it today.

Sim Tree		2012-03-02 10:32:44 PM

None of my questions made the cut it seems :p.

Should we go it again next week?

Sim, did you post questions to the Google document? I didn't see your questions.
