We love them as well… our office has been taking the quizzes every day for over a year now. There have been anywhere from 7-12 of us who have a little friendly competition going every month to see who can get the highest average score. Thank you !!

Thanks so much for the comments, everyone. It’s great to hear that you enjoy the quizzes. It looks like we might have the coding problem ironed out, so we’ll try to get the quiz going back in its usual spot again, with the scoring and everything. If you don’t find it there, check the blog, as we’ll make sure it pops up in one place or the other.
We appreciate your patience as we work out the kinks.
