The basics

Sunday, 12 August, 2007

I installed the Quizzes application on Facebook and created a quiz called “The basics”. It came out of this post and a niggling thought that people who I regard as my friends probably don't know this sort of foundational stuff about me. My thought was somewhat prophetic; so far five people have taken the test (including Ben who of course scored the highest but contests the answer to question 18, Bec, Jo and Bron), but, apart from Ben, no-one has managed to get over 60%. (And of course family members are going to get this sort of stuff correct!)

I decided to reproduce the quiz here. Let me know how you go in the comments. Or just do it on Facebook and save yourself the hassle of working out your score.
