It's just for fun, and we've all heard some of the questions before, but can you remember (or figure out) the answers to the tricky questions?

Sorry, Gary and others on dial-up, it's a flash presentation, so it might take too much time for you -- but try it, maybe it'll work.

Oh, I got 6 right the first time, and when I re-sat the test (without looking at the answers) I got 8 -- I had more time to think about the math question, but still totally missed some that were "so obvious" when I looked at the answers. :tongue: :dizzy:

Took no time at all to load (even on dial up), so had a go.

Got 10 the first time round, the one catching me out was how many outs in an innings (or whatever).

We play civilised games (badly) this side of the pond, so I was never gonna get that one.

Think I had a go with something similar recently, which probably explains my score.

Marthig -- "I got 1 point"

Gary, Thanks for testing whether it would work for dial-up users -- I'm glad that it does. I got the "outs in an inning" question right only because I've been caught by it before on some other test-game. I think most of the ones I got right were ones that I've gotten wrong on other games -- Marthig, you'll do a lot better the next time AFTER you know the answers. :tongue: :)I've been getting caught by these things for 40 some years (even before the internet ;) ), and I've heard most of them by now, but I still missed 4 the first time! :bawling:

Hi CJ and Gary, I think it is amusing my 1 point haha :D .
I just love these "tests", have no excuse really, but definitely will be alert next time. Thanks for your encouraging words CJ :)
