	especially in those kind of quizzes, where it's very unlikely that anyone would know all the answers, I would prefer if the answers were shown afterwards. There's quite a few things I'd like to know now that you brought it up, and looking it all up myself will be very time consuming.

	I agree there bowsntoys. It is a brilliant idea, but i didnt know the anser to lots of the answers, i actually got 5/12!

	WyvernSabres:	Jan 3rd, 2012 at 09:11 GMT	1 point
	Nice quiz! I started to type "False" for question 1, and found I had both the first 2 questions right already - "F" for 1 and "A" for 2 - before I even finished the word (I did know the answer to 2 anyway). This could be resolved by changing the order of the questions.

	@Dr_Nibbles: I don't know how to make the answers show up when you have answer in order. If you don't answer in order and answer 'C' all the correct C answers show up. If anyone knows how the solution, please let me know! :)

	@bowsntoys: A simple way to provide people the correct answers in such a quiz is to have a third column with the correct answer and an explanation, which is only revealed at the completion of the quiz.

	@dummo: Thanks, dummo! I've added a 3rd column, and now the answers show up at the end of the game. :)

	Good thing the only G&S opera I could think of happened to be right! I'm not sure if this is same issue as WyvernSabres, but when I started to answer what is currently the second question ("True or False: 1900 was a Leap Year"), I started to type the word "false." As soon as the letter "a" of "false" was typed, the third question ("Approximately How many...') was automatically answered as "A" before I even read that question. Maybe reword 2nd question in A/B format? (1900 Was a Leap Year A. True or B. False).... OR: maybe only accept full words as the answer for the second question, leaving its wording as is....

	Good Quiz bowsntoys.

	LeapDayLady:	Jan 5th, 2012 at 09:57 GMT	1 point
	Oh yeah, I got 11/12 ! I forgot RR was called The Night Stalker. I just couldn't think of it. Where did you get your information for the questions? Are you a Leap Day baby?

	bowsntoys:	Jan 5th, 2012 at 14:47 GMT	0 points
	@LeapDayLady: I gleaned info from several sites by typing Leap Year into Google. I'm not a Leapling, but my niece and her husband are expecting their first baby on February 26, so I'm hoping for a Leapling in the family. Are you a Leapling?

	I want to say "thanks" to the friends who have given me advice and info for this game. They are appreciated! :)
