Pete, you managed today's quiz in a pretty good time for you, perhaps I should watch and ring the lunch bell in the middle of the quiz every day!
Pity about only getting 9/10.

It's not often that one gets into the top 10 with a time of 48 seconds on a Very Easy day.
Mind you, there were a couple of very wordy questions, and I see they're back on the old "pocket lint" thing again ...

My heartfelt thanks go to Not Entirely Me for occupying the only space on the board below me.
As if a computer-freeze just as I clicked "play" wasn't enough, I had a complete brainfart on four of the questions.

Was this quiz written specifically for me or something? Seriously, two questions (kind of) about my home state?
