I would classify that as easy rather than as average!

I just spent several seconds at the end of the quiz fumbling my mouse and not clicking on the submit button onscreen. ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)
I don't think it was 5 seconds, so I'm not saying my lack of coordination has cost me victory, but I've definitely dropped down the table as a result.
It's one thing to not know the answers, it's quite another to not know where the Stop button is!

When it takes over 15 seconds to load the quiz how can I hope to get a reasonable time?

especially if it gets rid of all the exceptionally long winded questions which have stupidly easy answers - it then becomes a competiion in speed reading, rather than knowledge

You are, I hope, aware that penguins eat fish, not hamsters? I hope you did not catch it.

One of today's questions was completely absurd. Even though I figured out the 'right' answer, that wasn't a quiz question in any normal sense of the word.

And going into "don't actually read the answers" mode when responding to questions doesn't really do wonders for your score either. Idiot! ![[brick wall]](graemlins/brick_wall.gif)

Oh.
Actually I hardly ever click on links in websites that depend on advertising for fear of even more spam.
Except when hosting when I grit my teeth and bite the bullet and take one for the gipper (whatever that means)
No, don't tell me. I've enough useless answers to deal with.
