I didn’t do so good - I only scored a 52 (how many points per question?) but it was a good quiz ---

4 points per question – so it’s a percentage. ---

I got a 68, which means some of my guesses must have been right. ---

OK, what gives? I finished the quiz, all 25 questions, then gave the additional info and pressed “Finish!” All I get is a picture of a cartoonish emcee type guy holding out his arm as if there should be something amazing on the page! ---

OK, I did it again and got a 76. Now to look at **Twickster’s** spoiler box and see where I messed up! ---

I got 44. Considering that this test was somewhat US-culture centric, and I answered all of the celebrity/actor/TV questions close to randomly, that’s not bad. Cool. though! It was neat doing a test that someone I know on the boards designed. Could you have the ‘must be 18 to play’ warning _before_ taking the test? It would be bad to get all the way through it and then discover that the system would not mark you bwecause you were only 17. (And why does an online quiz about Hollywood and twins need an age limit?) ---

I answered four questions and got them all right for a whopping 16 points. For the number of things on there that happened before I was born, I don’t feel bad.

I got a 64 when I did the quiz alone, and Airman and I together got a 76. This test was hard! Neither of us knows squat about soap operas or game shows. Robin ---

After two tries, I get a cartoon MC whooshing me into results, but no results. I’m on a Mac, so mebbe that’s the reasom. ---

Dunno why being on a Mac would make a difference – of course, I didn’t know about the “must be 18” part either. Looks like 76% counts as kicking butt with this puppy. 🆒 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/more-twickery/417441.md?page=2)
