I really, really, really like this train wreck's definition of "famous couple". I just closed my eyes and clicked. It came up with three cherries.

For some reason the wording of the first question didn't make sense to me, and I ended up changing the right answer for a wrong one.

I can not get in to the quiz! I am being asked for user name and passwords, but the system will not accept my ship names/password.

You have to register separately for the quiz on the quiz website - it's nothing to do with the Ship beyond having a quiz set up for our use.

You know how slow the connection is here, Pete - I reckon that on average it takes 10 seconds for the quiz to load.
...and anyway I reckon Pingu has both youf on her side plus she gets more exercise/practice in chasing Poor Longsuffering Smudgelet round Smudgie Towers.

One good guess, one duff one.
I'll be even further from Jahlove's Top Ten than usual this month, as I'm heading off on holiday tomorrow for the rest of the month, and I probably won't be doing much Ship-surfing.

And now it's just me trying to see how long I can hold off the Grumpy Soprano-with-Sheet-Music . . .
Seeing as I don't think either of us is exactly planning on screwing up, this could turn nasty.

Erm, I suggest you clean your specs and have another look at the times!
I know you are pretty much innumerate but when I was at school
82 - 60 = 22
but perhaps they hadn't completed the invention of number when you went to school...
...come to think of it they may not have invented school!
