21/78...! I, I don't know if it's better or worse that I didn't kick myself for missing any obvious ones this time 'round... :(

All of the answers in that particular quiz can be put together through trial and error if need be. I put it up there because it's not a patently obvious typing test.

Aren't there... 15,600 possible permutations? Granted probably half of them don't make grammatical sense and can be ignored, but the brain still has to recognize that before moving onto the next possibility. Hard to trial and error that many possibilities!

Now, if you know half of them.. cuts down on the possibilities considerably, especially when taking into account the grammatical sense issue. Definitely can reach a point in this quiz where the more answers you have, the easier it becomes.

But yeah, definitely not just a typing test one. And we could use harder ones overall than the previous few. Especially when it's a case of either you-know-it-or-you-don't. So despite my horrible score I still approve. :p

25/26 on Military alphabet. I spaced out on Q around 1:59 after fishing in my head for P.

33/78

Missed a few I should have recognized, and /facepalming a handful I should have constructed logically.

78/78 with 2:41 remaining. Should noted that I only know and have read 14 of the 26 books. I suppose, though, that's a pretty significant advantage.

63/78. The last few were difficult to peice together, as they didn't appear to make a lot of sense grammatically, and I ran out of time.

78/78 54 seconds on the triplets but we're still on the alphabet challenge. Assuming no one beats Khross/Talya's time, talya's pick @ 3 today.

That will have to be later tonight. I'll be several thousand feet in the air at 3 today.
