Is it a bad sign that I have to think for full seconds (not fractions of a second) for some of these questions?

"Paris . . . yeah, it's the capital of France. . . right? It's not tricking me, like Albany or Sacramento or something? I really should know this . . . someone hasn't taken enough major classes lately . . . is this case sensitive?"

"'Is the circle round?' Um . . . what? Oh. Yes. Danged new message board."

SCIENTS!

Mine have always just said to type something. I wish I was getting cool quiz questions like you. :D

It has only asked me two questions so far. I think it is done based off ip so you aren't asked again.

It has asked me only two questions also.

I'm not sure about the ip...I might need to start keeping track of when I'm asked and where I am...

It just asked me again... so I think it is on random intervals.

of course not, you're not a suspected spam bot. only the really suspicious ones (portia, fred, sam, me) get the questions. you must be almost perfect! ;)

ha, I just don't post quite as much or as often as you and Sam, and more often than Portia. I think. I don't actually care. I just wonder why I don't get asked questions.

That may be why, because you don't post as much.

I was only asked once, and that was the only time in recent memory that I typed something, left, came back, and then submitted it, so I thought that was the reason.

If it makes you feel better, I had the same problem with the circle one lol.... but I am blaming it on all the information I am learning for finals... I need to know about international relations, not the shape of a circle!
