"Secession Date" and "Confederate States" should be placed within the 'Hint Heading' and 'Answer Heading' boxes respectively on the 'Game Info' tab. Also, you can probably take the time down to 1 minute.

@Riko No, they cannot. When wrong answers end a quiz, you need an extra field at the beginning of the quiz for things to work. So, that was how I decided to style this quiz. Also, based on the results, with only one-third of people solving this quiz, the time is just right.

sproutcm, how do you arrange the wrong (bonus) answers in that extra field so that they end the quiz even after the "safe" message appears?

@thedpr So, you need to have that SAFE message field first, (and it needs to be triggered by all the correct answers), then followed by all the other correct answers. Then after that, you need the wrong answers with "ee" appearing in the third data column. In the first column, you don't need anything, or it can match the field name of the SAFE message field.

Right now I have "SAFE/correct answer 1/correct answer 2/etc" in the first data line and "wrong answer 1/wrong 2/etc" in the last field with the "ee" in the third column, but whenever I test it, if I get the safe message and then try to trigger a mine, it won't trigger. It'll trigger if I type a mine first, though. I can't figure it out.

@thedpr: Yeah, I got the very same problem. -Either you don't do that "safe..." stuff and the quiz won't end without any wrong answer, or you add it and then the mines won't work after a correct answer was given before...

I found this quiz very very easy. I wonder why 70% could not complete it - because they're not Southerners?

The quiz has already been published as a non-minefield quiz and the dataset is quite small, so from my perspective, a minefield version doesn't appeal very much.

The Kansas blurb is not entirely accurate. Kansas was a state by the time the last 5 states seceded.

Consider making Arizona a bonus answer. True it wasn't a state yet, but it was a territory of the CSA.

@chris - some of us aren't even Americans! (I still got them all though)
