[sureshs]

Posters who post the question number with the answer choice as an alphabet: do you think we are going to go back to the first post for every one of your answers and find the matching phrase from your alphabet choice? No way.

Posters who post the question number and the full answer: are we supposed to refer to OP to find out the question for each answer? No way.

Post both the question and the answer in full.

Dang, I was hoping that using the "quote" function would quote your quoting of Woodrow's quiz with you bolded answers....

Because I agree with all of them without looking them up! (except #7 and #8....merely because I know nothing of tournament rules ).

Thanks, Woodrow for doing one of these again. They are enlightening.

I'm not sure vBulletin is that advanced. At least not without separate coding.

Because I agree with all of them without looking them up! (except #7 and #8....merely because I know nothing of tournament rules ).

Thanks, Woodrow for doing one of these again. They are enlightening.

I don't know anything about tournament rules either - I just guessed based on what made sense to me. Which is why I know it'll be wrong.
