"Great" moments in quiztaking: one of the questions reappears later. I miss one, not the other.

Lesson learned today - do not do the quiz before one, if not two, cups of coffee have been drunk. Brain obviously does not function without caffeine.

I tried to submit a correction for question 10 (their answer is no longer strictly correct) but it told me I had to be logged in. How the **** did they think I did the quiz if I wasn't logged in?
20th place today, which is nothing to write home about, although I was faster than a certain weasel ...
... just.

I didn't, but I didn't make a very intelligent (or lucky) guess.
I don't actually know if we're both talking about the same question ...
