One more citizenship test won't do any harm...
So here's the very unofficial Ship of Fools Citizenship test.
How much do you know about the Ship? Post your scores up here.
Let me know if it doesn't work, or if I made any mistakes with the answers! And if you want a version 2 of the test, PM me some suitable questions.

What a wonderful quiz! I got 9/12, which revealed some gaps in my knowledge. Funnily enough the wording of Q6 confused me, but I got that one right by tossing a coin.

8/12 which is about as I expected.
Fine test though. Something similar could perhaps be used to deter loonies.

I think you'll find a few mentions of it in the History of the Ship thread in the Styx.

Hmmm, I got 6 / 12. It means either I need to get out to different areas of the Ship more often, or real life doth intrude too much 'pon my Ship time. Or it could just mean I have CRS (Can't Remember Shit) Syndrome.

7/12, with quite a bit of guessing.
Date of the original paper mag was easy, as I was briefly on its editorial board (the Rudder Group, also known as the Tiller Girls) not long before it folded.
Simon is nearly as old as I am.
