O'Quiz!!!!

By TigerHawk at 1/11/2007 08:29:00 PM

Like land wars in Asia, this week's O'Quiz seems substantially easier than turns out to be. I scored my usual lame 6, against an average of 4.5. Humiliate me by posting your own monster scores in the comments.

I scored 8/10, though I'm not sure if I'd call it seemingly easy; I got lucky on a couple.

I'm curious why Giuliani is less popular than Clinton. Social conservatives? Anti-divorce advocates? Ivan Boesky?

Argh! 7. Missed the Dem's peak and valley poll results, and picked the wrong geek school as hardwood winners. And it's not just Jefferson's reception that's disgusting, so is the fact of his reelection. Perhaps the voters of his district are getting what they paid for? Not that I'm cynical or anything. :-)

8/10... my winning streak over tigerhawk continues. Another boo ya (and I probably would've done better except that I've had 8 pints of sweet, sweet Guiness tonight). Brilliant!

Howard in Boston:

Eight pints of Guinness only makes you smarter. I have to hand it to you, though: My one night record -- in Dublin, no less -- is five pints of the Black Gold.

I got eight.

It's only because I quit blogging.

8/10 Obama on 4 and MIT on 10. I must confess surprise at the CIT losing streak. Why bother?

ok 7 out of ten, I missed the democrat stuff as well.

K.Pablo, you do have a life, its just, well, this.

Guinness? Skip's theory about beer: they call it stout because if you drink enough of it (and eight pints certainly qualifies as enough) you'll, well, stout.

6.....pitiful...trully sad... I...I...thought that I was paying closer attention than that.

5 pints is nothing to be ashamed of... you were probably making the all-too-common mistake of eating along with your beer.

A reasonably good week for knowing the news, apparently. 8/10.
