This is just a general knowledge quiz about the SDMB and the members, sayings, topics, and various other misc info. The way it’s set up is that the questions get harder and harder, which each question being a bit tougher than the last kinda akin to Who Wants To Be A Millionare. There are 10 questions, and it will take only about 2 minutes to take it. This is purely for fun, just to see how well people know about the things here and the board itself. Really, it’s no different than my Straightdope Jeopardy. So take the time to fill it out when you can, and tell us what you got on it (if you’d be so willing). 🙂 [http://www02.quizyourfriends.com/yourquiz\_IM.php?quizname=050802225952-836151&email=&c=1&a=01](http://www02.quizyourfriends.com/yourquiz_IM.php?quizname=050802225952-836151&email=&c=1&a=01) ---

The doper name pattern search made no sense. I want my money back. ---

I got 90. I got the first question wrong, which shows how observant I am when it comes to titles. ---

Is the name pattern based on the number of posts? ---

90 - I missed the one about things dopers fear. Not bad for a lurker. ---

I think **Larry Borgia** has it correct. I got a 100 and I am not sure whether to be happy or depressed about that. ---

I completely made up my own pattern for the doper names and probably only got it right as a sheer coincidence. Here was mine: [spoiler]duffer/Samclem – republican/republican rjung/elucidator – democrat/democrat Eve/Guinastasia – sortof ex-Jew/sortof ex-Catholic :D[/spoiler] [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-well-do-you-know-the-sdmb-ive-made-a-quiz-to-find-out/315393.md?page=2)
