Title: World Series of Pop Culture Online Test Rescheduled
Post by: itiparanoid13 on February 15, 2007, 04:05:56 PM

If you tried to take the World Series of Pop Culture PCIQ test last night at 7PM ET, you may have noticed you were not able to.  There were some unfortunate server outages, but it was fixed for the 10PM quiz.  To make up for the missed one, there will be a new exam on Tuesday, February 20th at 7PM ET.  You can take the quiz here thanks to VH1 FOR THE TEST ON THE 20th.  Obviously not the past tests (http://\"http://pciq.vh1.com/\").

No, no, you can't.

(Unless you meant on the 20th. The quiz from last night is not there.)

I thought that was implied since it followed the sentence saying the new time.  I'm pretty sure I would have said something if you could take the old quiz.  So, sorry for some reason I suppose.  I edited my post to avoid the confusion some person would somehow have.

There was nothing "obvious" about "you can take the test here thanks to VH1", following information about a test that was administered the night before.

Copping an attitude isn't going to serve you well if you want to be taken seriously as a news source.

Well, I decided to take the test and I don't think y'all will be seeing me on the show.  I am not up to speed with the current music (or much else!) for one thing.  I did get the one game show reference asked.  It was in the Analogies section (which was also the final section):  Richard Dawson is to Family Feud as Bert Convy is to:
A.  Sale of the Century
B.  Scrabble
C.  Blockbusters
D.  Win, Lose, or Draw

I think I'll stick with watching game shows on TV.
