	A little short, but fun!

	GiantRobot: why don't YOU submit a quiz, then? I'm sure people would be happy to play if it were of high quality. Go ahead an jump in!

	GiantRobot was a little overboard but this one was kind of lacking compared to the normal word ladder.

	Never heard of the movie and the low guess % for those two rungs suggests I am not alone. Of course after doing all the rest I figured it out--not that hard, as the high "all correct" % bears out as well. Nick of Time is a pretty common phrase--maybe there are more well known references--Steve Nicks (or Nicolette Larson) album from early 80s.... I can suggest the Ted Bell time travel book of the same title (a favorite of my kids and me--main character named Nick travels through Time... get it? Okay, so the book is better than that suggests.) Plus, Edward of Scissorhands just wouldn't fit.

	Man, that was a bad movie...but being a Depp fan...I watched it twice.

	While I agree it wasn't spectacular, I cut the movie a bit of slack since it was filmed in real-time.

	I was actually one of the forty people who saw that movie while it was in theaters. I thought the real-time gimmick was interesting, but also what caused the film to drag. Though it did have Christopher Walken. That's good. And I liked the quiz. Only a minute long and the theme is "nick of time"--that's cute.

	Did anyone else put in tide for the laundry detergent brand?

	I guess I'm in the minority. That's one of the few Depp movies I really liked.

	I am so glad that I was able to discern the name of the movie, just in the [FirstRung] of [LastRung]

	I thought Nick Time was when Spongebob comes on

	Dumbledorefan37 -- tide wouldn't fit the ladder.... I also agree though this quiz was too short/quick... was taking my time up to the 30 second mark before realizing the short time limit

	Appropriately named, given how little time was on the clock when I finally figured it out.
