454. My recent scores would suggest I'm becoming more productive lately, which is a dubious conclusion at best.

HighZoolander		2012-11-02 04:21:31 PM

Wow, this is the first time I've ever been the top score. I predict it will last 2.3 seconds.

chopit		2012-11-02 04:22:43 PM

Third for the moment. I'm going to savor this.

wxboy: 454. My recent scores would suggest I'm becoming more productive lately, which is a dubious conclusion at best.

I sucked even worse than you. And I usually get at least 8 or 9 right every week.

The real problem is that this week's questions required you to read the posted articles in depth. Who the hell does that?

Guess we'll find out!

Not from me, pal. Not from me.

Acharne		2012-11-02 06:27:53 PM

Unfortunately, yet again I cannot do the quiz as the page to page connection times out. I'm sitting here for 15 seconds between clicking my answer and the next page loading.

That being said. I love this quizzes and they are part of my TFSMIF.

sneathbean		2012-11-02 06:39:12 PM

I made the list! For now...
