	Fantastic quiz! I really like the unique way this quiz was done in columns. I have never seen one like this before. Thanks for the challenge.

	Respect for a quiz well done. I like where you're going with this quiz - the format is really cool. But I found it very frustrating to play. Basically you've got 6 chances to string together 1 correct answer with 5 possible choices. So if you know 4 comets but have no idea what the 5th is and have to make a couple of guesses - the quiz is basically over. I'm not the kind of person who has to score well on a quiz to enjoy it - so that wasn't the issue. Perhaps reduce the number of columns to four - that way you reduce the amount of possible incorrects. That's just my two cents based on personal preference.

	@halophex - Thanks for the kind words and comments. I don't want to make the quiz too easy but neither do I want it to be "frustrating" as you put it. I've removed the asteroids and kept the comets. The comets have what I think are more "recognizable names" and removing the asteroids narrows the answer field by 5.

	Nice. I definitely think it's more manageable now - but at the same time, it's challenging. Crafted for nerds (which is a compliment coming from me).
