Hi Beaumont
Good idea!
A change of questions once in a while might be good :D

I scored 78%
14 anwers right on the first try.
They probably accounted for the 70% ?
How are the score points computed?
First try 5 points?
Second try 3 points?
Last try 1 point?

Cheers
solbjerg

Hi solbjerg,

The program works like this: on each question, one "wrong try" is recorded for each time you make a guess, until you hit the correct answer. Thus for Q1, if you hit a wrong answer once, then a right answer, you have one wrong try.

Once you get the correct answer for any given question, a score for that question is calculated and stored; that score is based on the number of possible wrong answers and the number of wrong tries. The score overall is calculated by totalling the scores for all the questions that have been answered so far, and turning the result into a percentage.

Hi. I loved the quizz, although I scored a modest 70% - which does not prove a very deep knowledge of languages in general. :confused:

Please give us some more, Mr. Beaumont!
