What I find interesting is that most here think everyone gets the same series of questions.....they don't. Perknose made a comment about Klink vs. Schultz being an answer, obviously that was a Hogan's Heroes reference to a question presented to Perknose. I never got such a question in my set......so, the questions change every run....not everyone sees the same questions.

I wondered about that. Nobody seemed to mention the fact that the answer for question 4 was in question 6, and just the fact that that even happened in the first place means the questions are random.

That's actually pretty lame.

We all DID get the same questions the first day. I noticed perknose's comment and wondered what the hell he was talking about though...

Maybe it was a slip-up. I had the Hogan's Heroes question too.

Haha that was a weird "history" quiz. At least I'm in 4th place (for the time being), woot.

Well, maybe, but at least it does prevent anyone from using multiple accounts to get an advantage.....cannot know the answers from taking it once to use another account to get a fast time and all correct.

No history questions in mine. I had strange things like a question about musicals. Ummm....sorry, never saw Rent or Ms. Saigon.
Sucks.
