MSNBC Weekly Quiz

Here's this week's MSNBC Weekly Quiz for the Week of October 10, 2006 It's about "scaling the heights of travel."

From the height of 80% last week, and little guessing, it was 40% this week, and guessing on all but two.

See, ya never know. After doing miserably last week I did 9/10 this week, guessing wrong on #7.

It pays to live with The Travel Channel playing all day long.

So that's the trick - I thought it was luck.

I did much better this week with a 70 - but only a few of them were ones that I acutally KNEW.

I have to go now and do a search for the Japanese river trip that you stand on!

Yeah, I had to guess on the name of the river. I read about it many moons ago when I was in a phase of reading everything I could find about Japan in the library. They are cedar log rafts and everyone jams together real tight so nobody is flung off. I guess you could say it's a uniquely Japanese activity.

Hey, thanks for the pic. That actually looks very cool. I'd try it.

This is VERY Strange! Yesterday I came across that page but there were only 7 questions! The first 7, and I was pleased to get 100%.

Today there are 3 more on the page (yes, the first 7 are the same). I didn't care to try the new ones in fear of ruining the 100.

Again I seem to be a complete nincampoop and am unable to get to the quiz.. maybe this is a sign since I couldn't get last weeks either??

Oh, come on, Nicole. Tell the truth. You just don't WANT to take the quiz.

Why not just say "the dog ate it" like you did when you were in school.
