Just the fact that the quiz is here is due to the efforts of your fellow farkers that wrote questions this week. Thanks to the Fark Quizmasters: phlegmmo, Sinto, and Sim Tree, who wrote a whole lot of questions to bring us over the finish line this week. Cheers, gentlemen.

Total time elapsed:
1 minute (67 seconds)

Currently 2nd place (highest ever for me) but not for long.

What I don't understand though is the scoring - I've gotten 10/11 before, with more time, and had a higher score....

My first week back to fark after an extended hiatus (of a couple years) and I get 11/11. I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed.

477 on the hard quiz cuz Phlegmmo was awesome enough to submitt questions before his trip

Much better than I've been doing lately.  What's up with Question 9?  I don't recall the story, and the link provided in the results doesn't go to a comment thread.  Is it TF?
