It’s making my OS choke as well.
This is why we need anti-Spyware legislation.
No workie for me.
But I’m sure I would have got 100.
It has to be either a temporary problem with the site, or we broke it by having so many people listed in the results list. It worked fine for me yesterday, but gives the “a script of this page…” error as above today.
Well if that’s the case, I’ll make my own 10 question SDMB quiz. It doesn’t require FlashPlayer, RealPlayer, or Quick Time … but unfortunately it does require a computer.

Well done!
And I got 100%!
(I sent off for my DeVry catalogue, right after I successfully completed my Evelyn Wood course!)
Same with me in Firefox. And the thing wanted to set so many cookies (from advertising sites, counters, and Og knows what else) that I just bailed. I wish I’d been able to see it…
HAH! EvelynWoodSpeedReading! I’d blocked those commercials from my memory.
Yes! I’mreading200woodsaminuteandhavezerocomprehensionYoucan,too!
I’m taking wolf_meister’s quiz.
-
Ok, I know it’s one of those dead president guys. Washington? Jefferson? McKinley? Oh! Adams. Yeah, Adams.
-
The 1920’s but everybody knows that Renaissance Death Rays are way cooler.
-
Hmm… It’s either 1. Garnet, 2. Igneous Rock (BAND NAME!) or, 3. Hi! Opal!
-
Everybody says 1960 but I’ve heard rumors about a visit in the 1920’s by somebody carrying a death ray.
-
Have (at least) sent away for a DeVry Institute catalog. I hear it’s the fact that they can complete their GED at home that excites 'em.
-
General Questions but I think Loaded Questions would be a good forum to add. It would be for posting while drunk (or is that drosting while punk?).
-
Posting witty, clever parodies of quizzes. Well, it it ain’t it should be.
-
That’s a trick question. It’s actually edit your posts while roller skating in a buffalo herd. I think it’s a sticky at ATMB.
-
Many SDMB members have escaped from state institutions and gone on to earn their degree in Gynecology from the DeVry Institute.
-
You will get a visit from the SDMB enforcers telling you that they “wants yuz to renew or else they are gonna have to teach yuz some manners.” It’s true… I only just thought about not renewing for just a couple minutes… next thing I know… well, the shock treatments have blocked most of the horror from my memory now. :eek:
Thanks for the humorous replies to my quiz. It shows that my 7 years of intensive studying at the DeVry Institute were not completely wasted.
Hmmmmm … Renaissance Style Death Rays
Glad to know I’m not the only one who had problems with the site. I clicked over to it after only reading the first couple posts, and felt so inadequate that I couldn’t get it to load (tried Firefox and IE). I didn’t want to take that stupid quiz anyway.
Any chance we could get Idle Thoughts in here to, oh I dunno, fix the quiz?
It’s unlikely Idle did the coding, it looks like that website just allows users to make quizzes with their pre-existing setup.
He’s probably off thinking idly somewheres.
Is there a compelling reason the OP can’t put the damn test in plain-text format and let us score ourselves at the end?
Aww… it won’t work for me, either. Tried it yesterday on Firefox, wouldn’t work; tried it today on IE and it still says the same thing about the script causing Flash to run slowly. Booo.
I answered “yes”, so I guess I got 100% right!
Woohoo!
I be a genius!
It’s not working on the computer I’m currectly using, so I’ll try again later on a different computer.
Me too.
Forget baby Jesus, the site is making the hamsters cry.
Yes. I thought maybe it’d be too tricky…but then I realized I’m dealing with Dopers, who are known for being smart.
