Alexander's Trivia Quiz is there

Post by nick »

Hello Companions -Alexander's Trivia Quiz is there. Thanks to Marcus for his valuable inspiration. It is in two parts - we might even add a third part after evaluation. We can also change or swap questions.Check it out at:
http://www.pothos.org/alexander.asp?paraID=109Hope you like it. Maybe little too much emphasis on the legend, but that is me. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome.Best regards -

Great fun, Nick! I particularly enjoyed the question about the "playing card". I knew I would score well, considering in my past life I *was* the Amazon Queen who pleasured herself with ATG for thirteen days .

Oh dear. 70% on the first one and a measly 30% on the second...

Well, I got 60% on the first one (first time around) and 80% on the second. And that was despite helping Nick out with the questions!I got 80% on the first one, second time around, but I *still* only got 80% on the second. It's that darned deck of cards question!All the bestMarcus

I got 70% and 80%, and have just spent about 30 min laboriously going through all the permutations. Bullseye! Sadly, I can't remember the answers, but found some very embarrassing mistakes...That Playing Card - why is it what it is...?

Didn't the business of the playing card come out of some esoteric stuff John was telling us about a while ago - a hangover from tarot or something?I've been through three of the permutations so far, but obviously the correct answer is the fourth... but of course I can't remember which three I've tried.Perhaps John can help out...All the bestMarcus
