      Couldn't see the pictures, but could see the file names of the pictures.  That probably made it easier to score 10/13.  Would be harder if you named the files more according to the question than according to the right answer.

      9 out of 13But it should've been 7 out of 13 because the LHC and moon questions were guesses that just so happened to be correct. Why doesn't this ever happen on real quizzes? :frown:

      [QUOTE="BillTre, post: 5557816, member: 581757"]What will be harder for some will be easier for others.”Of course, but it's possible to move the percentage chance it is more difficult.

      Depending on how people score I'd love to do this again and either make it harder or easier.

      Why is Poincare a historical physicist?
