Did anyone here take it?
305 multiple choice questions in 60 minutes. I shoved answers at 274 of 'em. Got 165 right.
Better than I expected, that's for sure (by about 100).

Why would you tell us after registration has closed?

Timi Yuro - cool!!! Did you get 100 CDs?
Yeah, whiney, that's kinda sucky of me, eh? I figured there'd be a thread about it, got here, searched, and came up with nothing. I figured this was better than nothing.
Congrats one up one winning in '99. Very cool.
Nice job, Mr. McCombs.

Yep, sure did. AV system, too.

Do you have an Alice Cooper anecdote, Timi Yuro?

Devo were the hosts when I went to L.A. to "give up the title" in 2000. They were wheeled in wheelchairs, dressed as elderly men. Their "nurses" wore latex. Rodney Bingenheimer was also there.

*wheeled in in wheelchairs*
I took it online, but had to cook dinner, so raced through the whole thing in 35 minutes instead of looking up stuff I didn't know. Got, I think, 219 right.

Isn't looking things up cheating?
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 16 March 2008 15:33 (sixteen years ago) link
They expressly permitted it, with the logic that if you're answering 300 questions in an hour, any time spent looking stuff up is pretty much time wasted.

Is there any place to see the past questions?

I did it one year, did quite well! But, being UK based, not allowed to win prizes.
