I will be continually adding more. For my latest quizzes, check out my profile.
Good work, Norman. I’ll slowly solve all your quizzes ?
Ah, Vidočka, I hope you enjoy them all 🙂
I am pretty sure I have taken most of them.. You have quite the collection now, they are all super well put together, informative and super entertaining, they make you laugh.
Looking back over them, I certainly prefer the ones where I let my sense of humour loose! I think you’ve taken them all, pretty much, Kim 🙂
I have to remember when I am taking your tests to read all the answers!! Grins.
I agree…that is very impressive! I’ll have to go through and see if I have missed any. I am sure there are a few (probably the earlier ones).
You’ve been fairly consistent in taking my quizzes, Mom, but maybe there’s one or two you might have missed early on, as you say 🙂
Well I will have to go through the list and see!
Very impressive Norman. One day I will go through them to be sure none were missed.
Thank you, Carol. I’m fairly sure you haven’t missed a one 🙂
My quiz for you would be how many full Norman’s have been completed in your 100 quizzes. I know i have done it once. But I am hardly the smartest person. Some of the folks on here have probably gotten all of the questions right many times.
So how many?
Oh, I have no idea! But few and far between, is my impression. I share the quizzes to Facebook too, and I don’t remember too many 100% there either. There were a few quizzes that are definitely easier than most, bu even so, not many!
PS I think you’ve done it twice )
Whooo Hooo twice is awesome. Thanks for the kind words! I do love your quizzes!!!
And thank you, for your constant encouragement, Doc 🙂
I think you’ve spent a lot of time creating these quizzes. Great work Norman! Congratulations!?
|Many thanks, Ileana! 30 to 40 minutes, a few times a week. It adds up, I guess 🙂
