I'm sorry, but anything like this need to be posted in quotes, otherwise you're simply gaining gold from posting something that's been pasted from elsewhere, and that's against the rules.

Also something like this isn't suitable for this forum either, as there's no discussion involved.

Any quizzes need to be played in the word games forum, where gold earning is disabled, this stops people from cheating and pasting other people's answers just to get gold.

This thread will now be locked.
