Of course it is....IF you happen to know the answer.

That's odd.....rereading all of the questions, I can't find a single one that gives any hint of BG1-ish information. Can you tell me which ones you thought those were?

That's actually not possible, as the human brain has no sensory nerve endings. Just a tidbit of NON-BG trivia for you all. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yes, you certainly do, and I don't blame them. This Quiz has some real doozies in it, such as the Genie, Cowled Wizard, and algebra questions. pcgiant and I noticed this during development, and so stuck in some easier ones (like the Name That Corpse game) to balance things out a bit.

Ah, yes, I personally feel we should listen to those voices more often. The little Gnome in my skull is better at math than I am: I was sitting in a Physics class one day, mentally priding myself at knowing the value of pi to more digits than most college students, but not far enough to be labeled a nerd. "Oh, pi?" I said to myself. "That's easy, it's 3.14159."

And then a little voice inside my head said, "....2654."

Surprised at this interruption, I rebuked, "That's nonsense. pi equals 3.14159."

"2654," the voice replied.

"All right," I said, "we'll soon settle this." Taking out my calculator, I punched in:
pi = [ ENTER ]
3.141592654 sh*t.


Getting back on topic now.......
I have put the 1st batch of results on the Quiz page itself, so everybody who looks at the Quiz gets to laugh and point at your pathetic scores. And pcgiant, when you add the next batch of results to the ranking, could you post those in order, according to score (ascending or descending, I don't care), so those who wish to argue over who is the better Gromnir Il-Khan may do so?
