Windows 8 is all very well but it doesn't do much for your speed when you go to scroll down the page and accidentally open up the side bar and click the start menu! And all this whilst feeling indignant about one of the options on question 1 !

Sometimes the things people put as comments here seem not at all related to the quiz that I did - whether we can blame my, admittedly appalling, memory or whether we sometimes get different questions I really don't know.
Does anybody else feel this?

I sometimes wonder what people are on about, WW, but I usually put it down to time-zones - what you call "today" I'm probably still calling "tomorrow". Especially if (say) you do the quiz really early in the morning and I do it late at night.

Wodders, I've passed the message on!
And one day I'm at the bottom of the pile, and a few days later at the top. My missing mind seems to be fairly inconsistent!

Not quite as good as your little porcine friend though.
I'd have been better if I'd listened to the Guessometer on the subject of films I've never seen ...

It's a tractor. I had to guess a few but not that one, but I live in a farming area.
