Another difficulty came when posting the quiz. Bizarre habit of IE7 is to assume too much when multiple tabs are open in the same window. I needed to open another tab by right-clicking whilst atop a URL. Instead of opening a tab for the new page, IE7 took the tab I was editing the quiz in for that, wiping out a few minutes of editing. (I had three tabs open at the time; left to right they were "edit the quiz", "balbas image gallery", and "a Google search". I wanted a new tab for something I found on Google without moving away from Google.)

Now I can do somethinzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... oh what? Ah! Else! I can do something else!

G'nite!

Been working hard to get the text-based questions creatively written, tossing in a few fake history items along the way, and didn't develop the graphic ones to my liking (the way I thought I could).

Wait a minute... (late afternoon thought).

I found a good candidate and will put a graphical question in.

As before, it's not about speed. Whoever has the correct answers after the quiz deadline will receive a prize.

When the contest does start, this is where you'll find it (same place as last time).

Since the quiz wasn't "whoever is first with the answer, wins" as too many quizzes around here are, I waited several days until all of 'em were in. Whoever had the highest would be first, whoever had ... & etc.

So... the answers were checked; many had long explanations as how they reached their conclusions. I set up a MS Word document with names followed by quiz numbers and their answers, then looked at the actual answers and re-coloring their wrong ones in red. Tallying up the red marks, I had my winners.

And no one got a perfect grade.

So the seven dwarves sang in Ancient Roma, lamenting the lack of entry submissions. Then again, it's the middle of Chanukah, and Christmas is nearly here, and Kwanzaa begins the day after that; with celebrations all around us, parties to attend, and shopping that will give a sparkle of pain to a manager's eye when gifts received are returned for a unprofitable refund, not many have the time to research quiz answers.

I'm not being critical. It's just an observation. And why I extended the deadline to Boxing Day.

And humor isn't as easy as pie: it takes much effort.

Example: if one of the questions were, "Morrie Caesar hated to walk the Aventine every Woden's Day" people wouldn't recognize the statement is false because no one named Morrie ever appeared in Suetonius, or that Woden's Day hadn't been invented yet, but because Morrie wouldn't be caught dead on the Aventine as his standards were quite high.

So, creating quality humor will take a week in order to throw you all off to the real truth.
