I got four right, but no-one can tell me which four (or what for).

A truly ingenius quiz, though.

The answer to that one, as every parent knows, is "Because I said so." Which is why I got 10 out of 10.

It seems that none of you have realised that this was an exclusive quiz to be taken by those shipmates with higher intellect and those who have X-ray vision.

This was a wonderful psychological idea by Pants who has now sorted out the sheep from the goats, as it were.

If you can not see the quiz you have a few options:
1. You need you eyes tested.
2. You need to sort out your cookies.
3. You really should stick to simple games.

Failing that, the moral of this quiz is: the blind shall lead the blind.

I shall take it again when no one is watching and shall get 10. Unless I forget which question was the trick, in which case I will probably get nine yet again.
