Is it a deliberate extra layer of difficulty in a quiz if you have to anticipate the answer that the setter wanted, rather than the one you think is right? Fiendish.
(I'm thinking about the conversation on a date question).

The floating one was rather tricky for me because I know for certain that one other of those animals does float. I tried to duck one under in a fountain once and it wasn't easy but he did eventually give back my spectacles...

Yeah, the drowning animal one is nonsense - at least three of the provided animals float.

Regarding one of the questions, I'd rather break the fingers of the offender.
But I got ten right because I sublimated my own desires!

"Excellent, Sundays are a good scoring day." thought I, complacently, as I went to the Quiz.
So, today's the day I discover the bottom right hand key on my laptop, with a right-angled arrow on it has a function as a "Submit Button".
Learn from me; do not press it after Question 3. ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif)
