| Hi guys. Just made this prog quiz for a couple of friends. Id like to hear what you guys think of it. Took me about 15 min to make it, but I would like to hear if you think it is too easy, too hard or just your opinion in generel. By the way, if any of you know where I can make another quiz on a different site, that is more professionel, and where you have the oppotunity to create more than 10 questions please let me know. Here is the link: http://www02.quizyourfriends.com/quizpage.php?quizname=080605091326-709567 - http://www02.quizyourfriends.com/quizpage.php?quizname=080605091326-709567 |

Almost all these questions arent important to know at all in my opinion. Its got nothing to do with how "prog" you are. My friend got real pissed that he only knew 5 of the questions in my quiz, yet he have listned to progressive rock since he was a little kid. Its just to have a good laugh, and because we like this style of music really |
