Great quiz, and if you feel like making a more nerdy/obscure version, I'd love it.

Small thing -- In the fourth set you have Brave New World and Great Expectations reversed in the fourth column when the answers come up.

Holy crap. This quiz was fairly easy until the last category. I had to guess on every one of those.

As always, these are wonderful quizzes... if one is a decent typist (I once was, but too old now to get the fingers moving quickly). I wish there was a way to be able to match up each column of answers with a letter and number rather than having to type everything out - that way it would be all about testing for knowledge rather than knowledge and typing ability.

Too much typing, not enough time, as usual. I would love these quizzes otherwise.

A very good quiz, but isn't it supposed to test one's knowledge of literature, rather than typing skill? Couldn't a key word from the title be acceptable, rather than the whole title? And, once we've answered 3/4, 4/5, or 5/6 from a group, it's a bit irksome to have to type the final answer. What else could it be?

I think people should quit whining! Its a test of knowledge AND speed, otherwise its just the same as any other quiz. I found the time limit very well judged.

I'm not whining, but I do legitimately hope someone can explain the format to me. I didn't understand what I was supposed to do.

@olelefthander, after clicking play, scroll down. You'll see a column with children's books and a column with author last names next to one another. Match the book with the author (type the left column answer and then the write column answer together - eg "Harry Potter Rowling"). After you do this for all of the pairs, you'll notice there is a third column off to the right. Reading downwards, you'll see a code. Type this code in and it will unlock the next level of the puzzle. Same process for each subsequent level.

Many thanks, @radioactive! Makes perfect sense once you see it. :)

Love the quiz and concept, but too much typing, especially for mobile users. I'd suggest numbering the choices

The code on plays and playwrights is missing a letter. I typed the letters that were there - nothing happened - added a letter to make a relevant word, and I got through to the next level.

Lamb18: I think you must have missed a play/playwright. There are six. It seemed to me the quiz was randomly accepting some last names/partials and now others - frustrating. Time ran out for me half way through the last category but a note popped up saying "Hey, you just won"!

Even though these types of quizzes tend to frustrate me to no end, I think I agree that the format is what makes it unique and worth playing. It's the challenge. Sometimes I do have to be in a certain mood to do these quizzes though.

This puzzle went fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH AIRPORT FICTION. Like really. I know people read it, but that doesn't mean people know it.
