O'Quiz!!!
The new O'Quiz is up, and I scored a virtually unprecedented (for me) 8 out of 10, crushing the prevailing average score of 5.30. Regular readers will recognize that at least one of the questions is something of a gimme for TigerHawk fans, but still. Luck? Skill? You be the judge.
As usual, post your scores, flattering or otherwise, in the comments.

Perfect score for me, 10-out-of-10.
Now, if I can meet a lady from New Zealand it'll be 11-for-11.
Hmm, what's a good opening line? "Dont'cha think Bush is just dreadful? Not like those Kiwi leaders".
Needs work.

Thank you for your playing the O'Quiz!
You answered 8 of 10 correctly.
The average score on this O'Quiz is 5.36
Changed from Chamberlain to Marshall--should have known better on two counts,
Flat out guess on "Sisters". (I said Spears, et alia.

I was CRUSHED to find out Neville Chamberlain wasn't the answer. With his far-seeing ideals, his historic diplomacy and deep understanding of the human psyche when he came back to Britain and said, "Hitler just wants to be friends!", how could the august Nobel Committee NOT give this "Diplomat of the Ages" the award? I'm going to have to do some more investigation. I think the contest was rigged.
Otherwise, 8 out of 10, probably missing the same ones everyone else missed. Sisters who?
There was one typo that was kind of amusing:
"You answered An especially profane, all-female rock band
The correct answer was An group of anti-Catholic homosexuals"
I'm not sure if "an group" is the correct answer to anything!

8 of 10
I debated between Chamberlain and Marshall. Also fell for the flag lapel pin distractor.

TH - shockingly I was 8 of 10 as well. I thought at best I would finish around 5 or 6 so my guesses were pretty strong. Thanks for the New Zeland chick one (I never would have gotten that otherwise...)
