Quiz Time
A general knowledge quiz. Only 14 questions, very diverse.
11, but should have been 12. I knew a score is twenty but alas for a slip of the mouse... I know the score, damnit!
Yay Fargon!

I'll bet SWMBO helped him.
Actually I did it all by my lonesome.
My deepest apologies for doubting you, sir. :notworthy
11.
Failed on the Merkin questions - although I admit I should have got the Civil War right. And probably the heaviest ball by simple calculation, but I've never held any of those balls.
The "standard" beer one just did not compute with me - it's so rare to get little cans of beer over here now, they're generally 440 or 500ml (a can of coke is 330ml for comparison).
(a can of coke is 330ml for comparison)
Ours (cans of soda) are 355ml, I thought 330 sounded a little not right, so, I checked.
DRINKS cans are now made in dozens of sizes worldwide, depending on local needs, from 150ml up to 750ml. Before the second world war, beer in the US was filled in steel cans which used what had been a traditional size for canning peas. This held 12 fluid ounces of drink and the volume and diameter of the can was retained when the modern style of so-called "two-piece" (with a lid and a body) drinks can was introduced in the late fifties. A volume of 12oz is 355ml, and this is still the standard in the US: in Europe it was converted to the round figure of about one-third of a litre, or 330ml. Demand in Europe for bigger volumes in beer cans lead to the third larger size of 440ml and later the 500ml. Smaller sizes such as 150ml, 200 and 250ml are employed for children's drinks and mixers where bigger volumes are not required. Regional traditions influence can sizes. In Venezuela, 8oz and 10oz beer and soft-drinks cans prevailed until recently because they fitted in the local cooled vending machines.

overestimated the dog toes by two. failed to resist second guessing myself about the provenance of cucumbers, which I knew and know. dangit.
heheheheh. This I'm keeping, because taken out of contest it's completely surreal:

Pilgrim
There’s still some room for improvement, but you’re on your way to becoming a real saint. Luckily for you, pilgrims still win prizes. So why not reward yourself?
Fallen
You’re certainly no saint, but don’t fear. There’s hope for you yet. Take the path of redemption for the chance to win.
Although in my defence, the choices were too black and white for real life.
Tell someone you hate their new hair or tell them it's gorge? How about a good old English, "Well, it's certainly different..."?
yeah - similarly - if I actually saw anybody drop something - including money - I'd let them know. But if I saw a £10 note on the ground and there was no immediately obvious sign of who dropped it - it's mine.
The bike question - I just know it wouldn't occur to me to lie in the moment.
And the hair question - as you say, is silly - there are other options and it's contextual: friend says 'what do you think of this hairstyle?' whilst messing around with styles preparing to go out- be honest. Friend asks how hair looks as we're getting into a taxi with no options for doing anything about it anyway - white lie.
Whilst I like being quoted, I don't like being taken out of the contest. I coulda been a contender!
I'm a saint. Yeah. But I didn't say I would tell my friend about the cozy date I witnessed. In those situations, what usually happens is that you tell them and somehow or another, after all the tears and drama, you end up being the bad guy. A person who'll sneak around like that is a person who will manipulate their way into being above reproach and who will find a way to make it seem like you're some big troublemaker. This has been my experience, anyway. I expect they'll get caught one way or another. Yet, even as I type this, I think of the thousands of exceptions to the rule and my little guilt gland (which is all that really keeps me honest) is secreting "BUT BUT BUT YOU NEED TO TELL YOUR FRIENDDDDDD" enzymes.
And hair schmair, I don't care. It could look like ass but I'll say something nice because the goal here is to make somebody maybe a little bit happier for a couple minutes.
The rest are no-brainers. This is why I'm poor. But happy. ;)

I'd have a little fun with my friend's Facebook account.
Probably a good job there were no questions about downloading pirated entertainment.
My friends loaned me some pirate DVDs that I never felt right watching. I pitched 'em. ;)
p.s. I've since pitched those 'friends' too. Long story. Suffice to say I'm much better off.
My wife's aunt's friend is really gung ho on pirating stuff. He makes these DVDs and prints fancy labels to go on them, and then gives them to us like it's the best present ever. Really random old movies that he thinks are important to watch. Sometimes they work, and sometimes not. And then he asks us about them so we have to watch them and come up with stuff to say. It's kind of annoying. Like it's homework or something to watch them.
cute. trivial but cute. I'm a "Saint" by their standards, just a regular guy by the standards of everyone else I know.
I got 13 not knowing nothing about dog toes.
And as for saintliness, I got that, but A lot of the answers I went for choice 3 which wasn't there. e.g. I wouldn't tell my friend, but I might confront the person I saw.
OTOH I wouldn't lie if asked specifically about it
Just one...
Turn it into a 4 +3 =7 by moving the upper left match on the 9 to the top of the 1.
brava!

Can't fool Dr Dana. :notworthy
They seem to think I'm 55.
They seem to think that everybody is 55, I was 63 the first time I took the test.
Based on your general knowledge, we guess that you are 63 years old!
You have acquired a lot of knowledge over time, and now you use that to educate your loved ones, inspire them, and help them succeed in life. You are a very emotional person, and your biggest aspiration in life is to help the people around you.
Did we guess your age right? Share your result with us in the comments!
I don't know whether to be flattered or insulted.
They don't care as long as you click. :haha:
I don't think I was asked the proper questions.
...and your biggest aspiration in life is to help the people around you.
You are one helpful fucker, I'll give ya that.:D
Based on your general knowledge, we guess that you are 55 years old!
You are a mature person, well educated and creative, but you still have a lot to learn. Your life can be a little hectic at times as you try to juggle your career and family life, yet somehow you manage to do it.
You have accomplished a lot during your time on this planet, and we know that some of your greatest accomplishments are yet to come!

career? Family? 55?
I got 100%, btw. I had no idea and then a pattern emerged to me.

Identify 50 movies from one screen shot (each:))
[ATTACH]60756[/ATTACH]
I've never seen, and know absolutely nothing about the movie '
Heathers'. I haven't seen several of the movies in this quiz. And I didn't use
any of the hints.
I got to number 20 before I found a movie I hadn't seen in its entirety.
Shit, I'm surprised I got 45 with only 3 correct guesses. One of those guesses was Heathers, thank you. :D
I got 50 out of 50.
I had actually seen 43 out of the 50 in their entirety.
I had seen part of 5 out of the 50 by flipping around channels on TV.
I had never seen any part of 2 of the 50, but absorbed enough through pop culture to be pretty familiar with one of those.
And the remaining one was a guess but the image was clearly described by one of the text choices.
That a lot of 80s movies I have seen.
48/50 with one too-fast-trigger-finger mistake.
I got tired after 11/12, only three of which I actually saw.
I get links to similar quizzes daily. Many don't really score your answers, though this one seems to.
This is a good one, decide which news stories are real and which are fake news, out of 15 stories. The woman I got it from said she got them all right except the story about the Iguana, so I figured I got at least that one. They didn't show me a story about an Iguana so the tests aren't all the same questions.
I missed 2, got 87%.
News or fake news.60%:facepalm:, but I didn't check sources, and on most of them I didn't read the entire article.
Ok dis ain't a quiz. It's a game.
A
Game About Squares.
Click the arrow in the square to move the square that direction. Arrows not in squares change the arrow in the square when you push the square across them. Pretty intuitive once you've made a couple levels.
I stopped at Level [strike]11[/strike] 12. My brain ain't in the right gear yet for thinking.
I got to level 3 and quit I couldn't get the squares to turn.
There ain't no arrows outside the squares, except the undo arrow.:confused:
OK, when you get to level 7 the arrows outside the box appear.
I tried it again, and it did the same shit there is no way to move the squares except forward and back. Fuck this.
You have to use the squares to move each other - repositioning them.
I did thanks Dana, level 10 got me. Now I don't feel so bad.
I ran out of patience at 27. :eyebrow:
35 questions
Do you remember your cb lingo?
CB Trucker Quiz
I got 30 outta 35 right.
I got 29 out of 35
And I used to be a Trucker, there were several that I had never heard before.
I got 26 right, a lot of it was good guesses, but I did really know more than I thought I would.
OK, not a quiz.
Open The Lock
Pretty self explanatory, they give you clues to the combination. They get more difficult as you go.

They put the 33 over a graphic of two geriatrics.:eyebrow:
Yeah I noticed that. I flipped the bird at the screen and muttered about millennials.
