I got 5 - would have had at least six if you hadn’t MISSPELLED the second one! ---

Fixed. I haven’t slept in many hours, which is kind of why I made that quiz. I do things like that when I’m tired. ---

That was quite odd. ---

I got three right. I am vaguely proud of that, for some reason. ---

I got 5/20 and annoyed\* at the same time. If the quiz is vague, the allowable answers need to be too. \*Only vaguely. ---

I got 8 within 1 minute, then nothing for the last 4 minutes. ---

I got 4 right. I’d be pretty annoyed if I randomly happened upon that that quiz with no theme or pattern that I could figure out. ---

11, and it should have been 12 – I most certainly _did_ type “frosting”. ---

6 before giving up. ---

I got the first three, then none after that. You’re right, it is vague. ---

I got some answers right, but there was a question or two I just couldn’t get. ---

3/20. That was not just vague, it was silly and pointless several of the answers are incorrect, or much less correct than alternative answers. I am guessing you were not just tired, but also on drugs. 😕 ---

> [@Hal\_Briston](#): > > 11, and it should have been 12 – I most certainly _did_ type “frosting”. This. I finally figured out the pattern in the third line, which is why I got three in the last 15 seconds… Are people really going to get upset because they didn’t do better at this silly thing? 😕 ---

I don’t know why you guys are doing so poorly. I got all 20 correct in 56 seconds flat. ---

11/20. I shook my fist in the air when I saw the answers to the last three. ---

I eventually clicked on ‘show answers’ and I’d actually typed almost all of them in - I missed three. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vague-quiz/612401.md?page=2)
