  1. ha! 0% right…

  2. Me too!

  3. I got 70% which I thought was pretty good. Then, in a quick attempt to show someone how it worked I just typed in 1 – 10 in the boxes in order. Also got 70%. HA!

  4. 70%. Hooray. I rarely beat the average on these things.

  5. Fail. What would be nice is if the images were a touch smaller or arranged differently so I could see all of them at once.

  6. Got the caret and chevron mixed up, so only 80%.
