Haha, I like the literacy test that you have to take to enter the chat. Unfortunately many people on here won't be able to enter the chat as they don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" and "there", "their" and "they're" [img]tongue.gif[/img]

That made me happier than I can ever say.
However, it saddened me that the answers were not checked by hand. Under the question "What color was George Washington's favorite black horse?" I had written the following answer: "Ha ha! A trick question! You see, little people know that George Washington was colorblind, and as such he had no idea what color his favorite black horse was." Needless to say the computer claimed I got it wrong.

Heh, you can't expect them to check all the answers manually! There are like 100,000 players (apparently) at least. Also, your answer IS wrong, or at least you're not answering the question they asked. They asked what colour the horse was, not what colour George W. perceived it as.

Heh I'm a disco bandit too. We'll see if I can be bothered to play this any more (since my turns have run out for today). If I can, then y'all better make way for Vaskez the disco bandit

Hmmm. Well, I think your answer was wrong, because as Vaskez said, they asked for what colour the horse was, not what colour GW thought it was. However, it may not have been black, because GW may have not been able to tell what colour it was (though, as Someguy said, people who are colourblind can tell black, it's red/green they have trouble with IIRC ), so he might have introduced his horse as his 'favourite black horse', thinking it was black, but in fact it was not black at all. But what colour he thought it was has no bearing on what colour it actually was, so the colour it actually was is the answer you should have given, not that GW would have been unsure of its true colour [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img] . You also should have said 'few people know' rather than 'little people know', unless you meant little people as in dwarves... [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]

Aelia, this game features ninja snowmen and sabre-toothed limes. I was simply supplying the answer while in the proper mindset.
As for the "fewer" thing... Come to think of it, I think I did say fewer... But "fewer" and "lesser" have always given me problems, oddly enough.
