Ah well, I guess an A is just as good as an A+ (you overachiever BoomerD!

).

I feel so special, my friend would laugh at me. LOL I'm laughing at myself cuz I'm such a fish fiend. LOL

I'm sorry,but if you missed one you weren't trying very hard (newbies excluded). I didn't know what half the fish were but I still got 15/15, because of the multiple choice format. Multiple choice just makes it too easy. All of the fish in that quiz have a name that describes the most obvious features of the fish. Hmm, I know that is a butterfly fish but I don't know what kind, but it has two spots and one of the answers is two spot butterfly, duh, it must be a two spot butterfly. Every answer on that quiz can easily be deduced in such a way. Now take away the multiple guess format then you might have a decent quiz.

fugazi · 07-06-2004, 04:27 PM

12 out of 15 here. but that's not a real fish test, they didn't even mention striped bass of summer fluke.

mattie · 07-06-2004, 04:27 PM

You must have done well on multiple choice format examinations that you didn't study for.

My icthyology professor would have cringed at the thought of someone quizzing me on the common names only.
Gotta know the Latin, too much to confuse and overlap with common names. Even on that quiz there were fish I called by names that aren't given on the quiz. Someone could "know" the fish by one name and get the question wrong because the name they call it isn't on their.
Sorry just my rant, it's been a long day at work

And FWIW I got 14 out of 15. I don't know the difference between a coronetfish and trumpetfish.
