Default Vimes's Second Annual Quiz of Doom (Answers Posted)

It might not warrent the "of doom", but the questions should be hard enough that it will require substantial research to pass the test. I did a similar quiz around this time last year, you can do a search and try out that one if you get bored. Questions are worth one point unless marked otherwise. It is possible to get part of a point. There are 25 available points. Anyone who scores 22/25 or better will receive karma. This may change depending on how well people are doing, but as the best score on the last one was 17/20 I doubt I'll have to.


PM all answers to me. The quiz will close in one week and I will post winners and answers.

I remember the old quiz.
That was crazy hard (to me at least.)

I will not be contacting people unless I need clarification on an answer. People will just have to wait and see how they did. This is partially a security thing as I don't want a copy of the answers floating around. I'll make a post here at the end telling everyone how they did.

Good luck.

I think got the rest of them, but before I submit it, let me request a clarification to one of your questions.

Quote:
What group forms the male portion of the Ecclesiarchy’s military? What did there title used to be and why did it change? (2pts)
Now, are you 100% sure that this is the format in which you what this question to be, ie, in present thense, remember the 'male portion'! Because according to my currect fluff, this should not be prossible in the present. Your Ahriman question further makes me think that certain of these questions should not be in present thense (sp?) Or the my fluff is just too weak! ^__^

A little clarification please.

EDIT: I still have one day before this closes. Zomg. Need to figure this one out fast.

I'll clarify the wording of question 18. It is meant to be in the present tense.
