    Sometimes the difficulty is a matter of skill, sometimes the difficulty is a matter of attrition. Sometimes both. Your feedback's noted Slight smile

    Arnovsharma  looks like we had a problem and the terms and conditions weren't attached!

    To compensate we've extended the deadline for this one and re-attached the terms and conditions.

    Arnovsharma At the risk of being proven wrong...     I think these quizzes can run for a couple of months.  Maybe more.  They are also used in marketing to potential new community members so that effort needs some time to develop.  Best of luck.
