Can you tell us apart?

[triskellian]

People (including us sometimes) seem to have difficulty telling secretrebel and me apart. Possibly sitting in the sun has made us a bit crazy today, but we have decided to produce a quiz to test which of our friends is best at telling us apart. There will be a prize (as yet undecided) for the person with the best score. Strangers We Met On The Internet as just as welcome to participate as people we see every day ;-)

Yikes - I'm really confused now !

Incidentally, some of those questions have confusing wording. For example, if one of you 'wears socks indoors' then does it count if the person is also wearing boots ? Or should we assume just socks ? Well, no, not just socks - obviously other non-footwear articles of clothing are allowed. Wearing just socks would look immensely silly.

I assume you're both going to agree to conform to whatever set of answers gets the most votes ?

[triskellian]

The socks question refers to the wearing of socks without shoes/boots while indoors, in situations other than a brief time before putting on or after taking off shoes/boots.

I assume you're both going to agree to conform to whatever set of answers gets the most votes ?
We might, if the answers entertained us sufficiently. But unfortunately, many of the questions relate to historical fact, so it would be quite difficult for one of us to go back in time and force our mother to be educated by nuns, for example ;-)

My god, that was embarrassingly hard.

current mood: sheepish

[triskellian]

Don't say that! It's supposed to be easy! To prove that we are different people. Bugger ;-(

(If it's any consolation, neither of us knew the answers to all of them when we were writing it ;-)

Embarrasingly hard for me too

Re: quiz

[triskellian]

A quick tally suggests you scored in the region of 44. Answers, scoring system and score tables can be found here.

As I've already explained to blondeccgirl, entries submitted after the answers were published are not elegible for inclusion in the high-score tables ;-)

Well, those answers are reassuringly randomly distributed.

I don't understand - surely the three options that aren't "neither" are all exactly equivalent?

*confused*

[triskellian]

:-P

Hey, there's a question in there which no one has so far got right except you - well done ;-)

[quantumboo.livejournal.com]

Oo-er that was hard. Except for the "largest cat" question (the fools!) Seeing as I live a whole "ocean plus continental landmass" away from you guys, can I get special bonus credit?

[triskellian]

Heh. I wouldn't worry - you're doing pretty well according to my current score-spreadsheet. But then, I think you're the only entrant who's lived with both of us, so you do have something of an advantage.

[triskellian]

Ooh, I've only just realised that 'results visible to none' doesn't mean no one can see the results, just that no one can see who chose which option. Damnit.

Still, there are really quite a lot of questions where the majority are wrong, and without being able to tell where such knowledgeable people as yourself have voted, seeing totals ain't much use.

Well, I've had a go, if only to see how astonishingly out of date I am, or rather how bad my memory is.

Re: Hoping I scored well

I really hope I got a good score - made more difficult by the trick answers of neither and both. I think i have a disadvantage in that I know triskellian really well, but I don't know secretrebel that well.

But, even though this quiz is fun, there is no way that anyone would mix up the two of you - both very unique (thank the faeries for small mercies!)

Re: Hoping I scored well

[triskellian]

OK, I've scored you, and your mark is 66, which puts you in sixth place, I think - see a later post of mine for answers and other people's scores. The people who beat you are three boys who've shared a house with at least one of us, and two girls who are good friends with both of us, so I reckon that's pretty good for you hardly knowing secretrebel at all ;-)
