 | 50%... That was hard, and good! Is question number 2 correct Gerry? Checked now and I have different numbers?  (clicked on the 'amplified answers' and the link's down.) Cheers, Adam.

| Hi Adam, You are correct. thank you for pointing it out. While building the quizzes I place false answers in to check cross referencing and forgot to correct those placed in Number 2. Likewise, the link to 'Amplifying Answers' was not activated - it now is. Apologies to one and all. Gerry |
