If it is the one I am thinking of, the heading to the question was relevant and provided the only real clue to the correct answer.
Edited to add the link to the quiz seeing as we're on a new page.

Even before I clicked to finish the Bible quiz I knew it was going to be a bad score.
I'm surprised it wasn't worse!

Just as I congratulate myself on a lucky guess or two, I noticed I got dumb and didn't look twice at the answer I got wrong.
Whoops.

Solidly in third. It wouldn't even let me take the quiz yesterday as it was very late, though not past midnight.
For yesterday, read "Monday".

Question number five was malarkey. Sadly, I've heard part of that horrible "song" and for some unknown reason, I knew the name of the singer! It's even worse than the tripe I was hearing at work by Lady Gaga last night. Had I re-read Q5, I would have taken too long and missed the top ten anyway. I prefer "difficult" to "average": the questions are more intelligent!

Now that was pretty nifty this morning.
Trouble is, I get the distinct impression that my second place in 37 seconds is not going to look so impressive once the board starts to fill. Still, I will bask in my glory (and ignore the fact that Japes beat me by one second for first place ![[Biased]](wink.gif) )

I've not done the quiz yet but feel I must make a disparaging statement about penguins being top of the table - what is the world coming to?
