It's obviously better than being stuck between Welease Woderwick and Smudgie. That'd be a Wedgie.

All hard quizzes should be that hard. I think that might be the first time I've cracked 40 seconds.
Just waiting for the easy quiz tomorrow with an illegible question about lint.

I detest 'quiz' questions that don't deal in hard, verifiable facts. If I wanted a class in social etiquette that's not the site I'd go to.

For once I get a half-decent time and I get let down by a question about an actress I've never heard of in a film I've never seen.

Has anyone ever tried to submit a correction? I get a blank window when I click on the link.
There's a question today that is semi-wrong. The explanation given for the answer is certainly wrong.
