New answers! Yay!
Just a quick note about two of the questions:
The one about February 30th is a little more complex than I originally thought… I will have to research it and get back to you on it. Until I do, it is officially on hiatus. And the questions about tortoises, turtles, and terrapins was almost answered correctly, just not quite. So the correct answer will be very similar to one already offered.
Also, another thing: It’s getting a little complex to add the incorrect answers, so forget the seven wrong answer bonus points. If I get less lazy in the future, I’ll revive it.
On to the points.
extreme icon got number 78 right (although he was missing Japanese; I should have specified “three”), 80, 82 and 83 right. That’s a whopping 4 points right there.
Museli got number 76 right.
I like Jobie’s answer to 78, so I’ll give him a point. He also gets 81, and 82, to put his total to 3 points.
I’ll update the questions later today - I’m tired right now.

Anyways, on to the answers.
I feel a little sheepish, but it appears as though I have to look further into the February 30th question; there are many answers, it seems.
SorryGuy got numbers 63 and 68.
Chrome Moxen didn’t get any… I’m not quite sure what’s going on there.
extremeicon got numbers 65 and 66 right.

By the way, I might have to start docking points for repeating every single question (especially if you don't even answer them!)... please don't!
Anyways... I'll have new questions for you tomorrow
Hey everyone... sorry about the long break
I had an ... eventful day, shall we say...
Anyways, let's see who got answers right:
Just a quick comment first, to SorryGuy, but for everyone: It's alright if you copy the question along with the answer, but please try not to include extraneous questions, i.e. those you don't answer.
SorryGuy got questions 46 and 52 (although the formal answer is "because 789", but I'll let it slide...) right.
extremeicon answered 'B' as well for number 40, and, since today's wednesday, the right answer is... B. extremeicon and AlphaInsidious each get 1/2 point, while SorryGuy loses 1/2 point (I want you to note my restraint in this parenthetical comment from not saying something we'd all regret) (that being "sorry, guy") (the fact that I just told you what it was invalidates the previous parenthetical comment, meaning that, in fact, I have no restraint).
In addition to number 40, extremeicon also got numbers 47, 48, 51, 54, and 55 right.
49 wasn't quite right, according to the reader.
Fadeblue makes a good point, so he gets one, and the last time February 30th occurred was not 1931 or 1712. It was much, much earlier.

And the questions about tortoises, turtles, and terrapins was almost answered correctly, just not quite. So the correct answer will be very similar to one already offered.

On to the points.
extreme icon got number 78 right (although he was missing Japanese; I should have specified “three”), 80, 82 and 83 right. That’s a whopping 4 points right there.

By the way, I might have to start docking points for repeating every single question (especially if you don't even answer them!)... please don't!
Anyways... I'll have new questions for you tomorrow
I had an ... eventful day, shall we say...
Anyways, let's see who got answers right:
Just a quick comment first, to SorryGuy, but for everyone: It's alright if you copy the question along with the answer, but please try not to include extraneous questions, i.e. those you don't answer.
SorryGuy got questions 46 and 52 (although the formal answer is "because 789", but I'll let it slide...) right.
extremeicon answered 'B' as well for number 40, and, since today's wednesday, the right answer is... B. extremeicon and AlphaInsidious each get 1/2 point, while SorryGuy loses 1/2 point (I want you to note my restraint in this parenthetical comment from not saying something we'd all regret) (that being "sorry, guy") (the fact that I just told you what it was invalidates the previous parenthetical comment, meaning that, in fact, I have no restraint).
In addition to number 40, extremeicon also got numbers 47, 48, 51, 54, and 55 right.
49 wasn't quite right, according to the reader.
Fadeblue makes a good point, so he gets one, and the last time February 30th occurred was not 1931 or 1712. It was much, much earlier.
