Damn, i dont know if i got all Points now or not. I dont know if 340 are correct.
Question 1 and 2 where correct in green, then 3 and 4 i clicked right Answer, but showed as red. After i dont know which Question i had correct and which not, i guess, maybe Question 5 and 6 i got wrong or just 5 or just 6. :D

Then after also, just know then with Question 10, i got that right too.
Before the 7, 8 and 9 im not sure anymore. Was so fast gone, no time to take a Screenshot. ^^
Just got an Screenshot after or right at Question 4. :D

Have you tried Printkey?
I've used it for as long as I can remember. It allows insta-saving of screenshots, rather than having to paste the clipboard into mspaint and then save it.

Edit: Optionally, I guess you could just set up a stationary camera with a timer to take pictures of your screen for you at regular intervals.
After that, all you gotta do is spend time developing the pics. ^^

If you're using Windows 10 you can bypass it by pressing the Windows and Print keys. Your screenshot will be saved to your Pictures folder automatically

Interesting.... On W7 here. Gotta test that out when I get a chance.
One question though; is it possible to change the target folder in the settings? I prefer to have my screenshots (and any newly downloaded files) land on my desktop rather than in a designated folder, so that I can find them easilly and subsequently sort them as preferred.

Well, today's quiz wasn't bugged for me but yes - it was really slow going...

Another question - on previous resets leaderboard winners would get $3 bonus. This time I've got email without amount specified in it, but from my own track I got only $2.5 added to my account. So - was it changed or is it another glitch or what?

Same here. I think they changed it to account for the higher frequency of quizzes and shorter intervals between resets.

go to c:\users\YourName\pictures, right-click "screenshots" and click "properties". On the "location" tab you can enter any destination imaginable

Sounds neat. Not as versatile as PrintKey, but still nice.
PrintKey allows a lot more customization though. Custom keypress combo for either active window, fullscreen or custom rectangle screenshots, as well as whether those should be saved to the clipboard or just instantly be saved as a picture-file of a specfied format (png, jpg, bmp, wmf, emf and gif).
All that, and it's free. ^^
(It contains a lot more features, but I mainly use it to skip the process of pasting into mspaint.)

tuesday i failed one question, today done all right, answered 4th question correctly but it bugged and i wasnt credited. This is the 4th time i not receive price from the last 2-3 weeks, why this bug comes up always for me and never for many? The problem is that i do actual purchases (a lot) on Indiegala and only freebies can get the credits?

This quiz clearly never worked properly, just stop it finally or remove the money award for each quizes, instead go more hardcore on top100 end rewards.

This was a bad one. Visual bug on question 3, 4 and 6. Not on the list of winners and only 520 points. So no points for #3, but from the others.

Quiz got bugged for me too today, and not just the visual bug - on question 3 it didn't accept the answer (about the water), so I got only 520 points and no prize.

Correct answers marked as wrong for questions 3 and 6. I only got docked 30 points so it looks like question 6 was merely a visual bug but question 3 cost me the prize.

Apologies. I know, I've seen, I'm not proud of this outcome either. My estimation was that at least 100 people would have won this quiz. I already notified tech since the last quiz, this is obviously not a case with just 2-3 outliers. Will probably make some stresstests in the next few days with smaller prize polls to try to figure out the cause. I know it is frustrating for many of you, I am in the same position when things don't turn out as expected/intended. Will do my best to get it fixed.

Geography and i was shocked again. To my Suprise, could have been worser, but could have been also better. :p Have just question 1,7,8 and 9 wrong. Rest is all correct. Like i said some Posts ago, im not the smartest Guy in that Section and few others and still i got few right. Just close my Eyes and try my luck. (y) ;) :p

And Quiz was also normal working and i use Win XP, Pentium 4 and Firefox. 512 MB RAM. :D

Yeah, i know, System is a bad one, but im not rich or i would have already a much better System. ^^
