Who made this quiz? After finishing it it said I had answered 9 out of 10 with a score of 70% When I tried to restart and find the missing one it said all of my right answers were wrong, started me with 100% and took off 10% for each answer
Technology is not our strong point. 😉
Was the technology imported?
possibly!
Thought I would do better than 50%, must try harder!
