Pimpin' Quiz; Round 1
Tuesday, February 3, 2009
Pimping - v. the act of singling out one person of the group and testing their knowledge by asking them a series of intense, difficult questions in front of everyone. - Urban Dictionary
I had a think about my previous post and I've decided in celebration all that is pimping that I'm gonna start posting a 'Pimpin' Quiz'. I'll try to make it a regular thing, say, once a fortnight-ish. There will be a prize of a special wee logo (as above) that'll certify that you, personally, got properly pimped by yours truly. It'll be small enough to chuck in your sidebar, too. I hope no one's blogging under the name Stevens-Johnson.There are only a few rules;
a) Submit your entry via commenting below the quiz.
b) You get one crack at the dozen answers.
c) Entries will close 60 hours after the post. If no-one gets all ten, then I feel like an uber-nerd.
d) If I get slack I may or may not put more pharmacy questions in than is absolutely necessary. Deal with it. It's what I get pimped on too, y'know.
e) There will always be two 'pot-luck' questions. Just to push the importance of the whole work/life balance thing.
f) I'm writing the questions with my references in hand. If you like yours better, I'm open for good-natured debate. It's a cool logo, I know.
g) Answers should be short. Like a word or maybe ten if you're in 'essay mode'.
This stuff isn't designed as elitist, although it's supposed to be pretty freaking hard in bits. Anyone can have a crack, and should; the answers are all out there somewhere. The first comment with all twelve answers correct will win the logo! Huzzah!
