	Well at least I got marijuana. There's probably a distinct reason for that...

	I usually hate comments that mention scores, but I have to say that getting a perfect score on this with only four seconds to spare actually made me FIST PUMP in real life. No Sporcle quiz has ever done that before. Well done.

	This became a lot easier after i read the instructions...

	Marijuana is really low, but that will probably pick up after noon when the dopers wake up.:)

	Buckybeaver:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 05:11 GMT	1 point
	Ohhhh! I literally needed about two more seconds. I was typing the last word when the time ran out! Fun quiz!

	Irving:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 05:46 GMT	3 points
	Fun variation: Cover the last column and see how you do. Although if you're reading this it's probably already too late!

	gecc:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 07:28 GMT	12 points
	"Bariatric" would also have been a valid word.

	gttrsnp:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 07:59 GMT	8 points
	i think i'll have a barbesque this weekend actually.

	carfuffle...CARFUFFLE...CARFUFFLE!!!!! WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?! My god thats embarrassing facepalm

	sunny1192:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 08:13 GMT	10 points
	Proving I've still got the mindset of an 8-year-old: "flatulent" made me laugh.

	Sporcla:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 09:34 GMT	8 points
	Great quiz....petrology was randomly the first one I got despite having no clue what that is. Cartograph sounded like a word but doesn't work.....17 times.

	Yvonne_india:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 09:45 GMT	3 points
	Excellent quiz. Actually found it easier to start with the last column and find the limited combinations that would lead to it. Why are the scores laid out as three different words. If you hadn't got the first column element, you wouldn't have got the second or third element either. So many potential -ologies to choose from, argh!

	hellofromUK:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 09:51 GMT	17 points
	@gecc. Yes, 'bariatric' is a word, but then you're left with 'gertender' which isn't a word, not even one who looks after Germans.

	eggseronius:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 12:32 GMT	1 point
	Only got 6. Tough quiz, but I liked it.

	JimAkin:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 12:59 GMT	1 point
	Timing was perfect. Two seconds to spare. A fun assortment of words. Well done!

	ezois:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 13:44 GMT	2 points
	What is a kerfuffle? I only got it because that's what was left.

	hikeeba:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 13:48 GMT	8 points
	@ezois Only one of the greatest words in the english language!!! 5 stars!!!!

	jdaster64:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 14:53 GMT	2 points
	Surprised that "decimeter" was so seldom guessed.

	If flafufaph isn't a real word, it should be...

	Okay that was an awesome quiz! @venusorbiting - I actually did a bit of a fist pump, too! LOL

	BonnieH:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 17:32 GMT	3 points
	I had to do it twice to get them all. Tough one! Add me to the group that didn't know "kerfluffle" was a word. Now I'll be using it every opportunity I get. :)

	super quiz. excellent choice of words, a lot of them break syllables so they are tough to get.

	chemheel00:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 18:11 GMT	4 points
	@cthulhu. That's because, ironically, we use the English system more in the US. lol

	ef232623:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 20:46 GMT	1 point
	I hate to be that guy, but you should probably change a couple of the words, since "cartogram" is an actual word that is not accepted as a correct answer here. We use them all of the time in my line of work.. see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartogram

	simpleerrors:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 23:33 GMT	1 point
	Nice words...I was happy I got the bonus.. then it seems like everyone got it too. xD

	ezois:	Sep 4th, 2010 at 00:11 GMT	2 points
	I looked up kerfuffle. It is a great word. :)

	CradleOfMexicans:	Sep 4th, 2010 at 07:11 GMT	1 point
	harder than this quiz: reading it without going blind. ooo, sore eyes, but a 45/45 nonetheless...
