Thanks Gus. It worked but when I tried to enter there was a message telling me I had already had my try and must wait until tomorrow. OK, I'll wait. I'm not much good at Scripture Knowledge and begats anyway. Oh, hang on a moment, it may be that my entry to the Cheese query earlier today counts as my one-a-day dose. Which means I have to log out of the other quiz. Too much bother. Thanks anyway. I owe you one. (One what? asks Gus nervously.) You can play both quizzes, mimi; it's a question of logging into each quiz, then playing, then logging out when you finish the quiz |

Thanks Topsy and Bets, I'll try it and see if this quiz is less US-oriented than the Cheese's. Just waiting for a suitable moment.

i have gone for the more difficult levels on most things ...... because for some reason they seem easier than the easy levels  |

I notice that in quizzes. I think it is because 'easy' quizzes are simple memory tests of the kind of thing 'average' people are likely to know, whereas 'difficult' questions require working out - so anybody with a bit of sense can do them. I remember a school mate telling me that University level English Literature was easier than A level, which we knew was easier than O level (which we did not take but the thickoes did). The reason is that O level was questions of the "Who said what" variety that you either knew or did not, while A/O and A level were of the "What function might this Shakespearian character play?" and "What influence do you think contemporary politics played on the development of 20th century poetry?" kind (That was a really easy question in German!).
You could say anything you liked providing that it made a coherent case. I remember getting a mark so bad for a two-page essay saying the Fool drives King Lear madder than he started that I had to do it again and got one of my best marks ever (a marking system unique to Ronny Youngs, something like A+?+) for saying exactly the same over five pages of argument explaining how and why.

And the examiner may not even have read it all, but was impressed by your verbosity!
