7/10 x 3 then 8/10 and then 9/10. Not bad.
6/10 that's not good. Finally! 10 out of 10. Now i can get on with my studies :) Edited by Antimanner on 26 June 2010 at 3:09pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

1st try: 3/10 Miserable (I initially thought it would be as easy as pie, so I was whizzed through haphazardly, but I was so wrong, and earned myself a dunce hat and was made to stand in the corner with my back to the class instead...)
2nd try: 7/10 Good (I took my time on the second attempt, and was suitably rewarded for my patience...but I notice there's still bags of room for improvement.) 3rd try: 9/10 Good (There were a couple of repeats this time round, which means I can now throw away my apprentice's robes of ignorance in roots and riddles, and replace them with a virtual mortar board with tassel and a red-ribboned scroll in light procrastination - yay, I graduate!)

Ooh, 9/10 first time. I'm not sure if I should be proud of that or not...

I eventually managed 8/10. This is fun! I was soooo happy when "Spoonerism" came up, it's my favorite word. :3
I also never realized before how much word trivia I know.... like the origin of the word "thug". Most of the latin and greek words I figured out from my knowledge of roots. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

10/10. But as the questions are different for everyone, maybe I had an easy round.
