Quizzes remain open, answers not published, for the first half of the year so you can go back and play and your scores will be counted in the annual astronomy quiz challenge. New players can also go back and play all the quizzes. You can play a quiz more than once but obviously the score from your first attempt at the quiz is the one that's counted. A score from a second play after someone has seen all the answers can't count.

Now onto April...........
Each quiz takes me many hours to compose each month, coming up with new questions, researching answers, composing tempting alternative answers. Next, I use the quiz creation tool to do the the mark up. If you disagree with a question or answer, you are welcome to raise anything with me at any time discretely via PM but not openly on the forum.

► Show Spoiler

I ask that, during the month the quiz is actively being played, that members please: -
______a) don't post spoilers indicating the nature or content of questions or answers
______b) don't post claims that answers are wrong.

The answers are checked and such claims are usually wrong usually because the entrant misinterprets the question or is recalling out of date information. Any such messages will be deleted as soon as I see them. To post spoilers for others because you've finished playing is just selfish. I am more than happy for you to post those very same comments on the forum and discuss them openly after everyone has played and the quiz has closed at the end of the month at which time I'll also post my comments explaining all the answers.

The indication that the quiz has closed is when I post the results histogram usually early the next month.

Thanks again for the challenge.
A bit disappointing, as I overestimated my confidence in a couple of 'either-or' responses, and learned something in the other one I got wrong.

80%
I missed one guess, and was wrong on one that I thought I knew. Thanks, Joe!

Am I being a bit thick, but I can't find a link to the April Quiz.

Also I was sure I participated the last couple of months but am not listed.

Thanks for doing these, they are fun.

So how does it allow me to post in that case?

Oh yeah! 80%. One of my best scores!

And thanks for the quiz.

I found I had to log in separately to the quiz as well.

Thanks for the quiz, I did better this time.

[Bigzmey]

Fun quiz as always, thanks Joe!

[sdbodin]

OK, better this month, 90%, my one real guess didn't come in.

Fun, not as hard as last month,

Fun quiz but my score was not too hot.
