Well i think i deserved adlist 5 points

Yes work does get in the way of the good things. This is my first missed quiz in a couple of years and work is my excuss as well.  As to competition but it looks like TJK is giving you a real battle along with the other usual suspects.  and I'll be back next time because Imperator did his usual magic so I can only see the answers to this quiz not the whole data base just in case I want to play next time. He really is very good at those things.  Scoring has its fun too cause I can say things like " na na I know the answer to that question that is driving you nuts and I'm not telling" 

I am pretty sure that I got number 10 right, but I am not as sure that I submitted the information correctly. I have now. :)

So that I don't go crazy, the next time that someone looks at the results, please tell me if I got 10 it right or not :)

Scores updated (12:00 AM EDT), this will be the last time I can update scores until 12 PM EDT. 

Dawn, FYI when you update scores, delete the original table first and then paste in the new table. (Delete the stuff inside the post by control-A, then delete).

For the next quiz, I'll write a totally new TQ engine that will be easier to use (i.e. harder for moderators like me to make errors in scoring!) and will automatically update the scores to the forum. The quiz will then be able to run entirely by assistant moderators like Poirot and (in this quiz), Dawn.

Thanks for warm welcome

Please delete this post. The message was same with the next post.

Round 1 has ended. Please wait for Round 2. Complete Answers will be posted shortly.

The answer to 8 is that all of them had "Alexander" as their ruler. However, I'm open to any reinterpretations.

I don't think "Golden Age," can be the correct answer because Rome was not in a Golden Age at that time. "Invasion," although vague, can possibly be  correct (I'd say about 50-50 for that one). TJK also had a fairly elaborate answer (that the period contained a series of rulers of the same name), and I'm leaning toward that as correct as well.

I apologize for any controversial questions. As I mentioned earlier, for the next quiz, I'll be working on improving the way the quiz is run.

Yes, I noticed that mistake too, although I was the only one that gave the "right" answer.  I just figured that it seemed like a pretty good answer and it didn't hurt to try...
