Area52 By The Numbers Quiz

NOTICE: THIS SITE AND THIS CONTEST ARE CLOSED. YOU MAY TAKE THE QUIZ IF YOU LIKE BUT YOU WILL GET NEITHER THE ANSWERS OR A REPLY. I HOPE TO REMEDY THIS SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE.

This is a fun little quiz that will test your knowledge of all sorts of things.
Each question or answer in this quiz contains a number. Topics covered are, for the most part, books, movies, TV, and music, plus a few completely obscure questions ;) I think this quiz is a bit easier than my "Everything But The Kitchen Sink" quiz, which clearly blew every contestant's mind. However, to up your score, a bit of research wouldn't hurt. Places I used to research this quiz, besides my own twisted mind ;) include The Internet Movie Data Base, Amazon.com, and Guiness World Records...and a few other sites too. And here you thought I made all this stuff up! Mwaahaahaa!!!

Neato-keen prizes are to be had by all who enter. So open a second browser window, get out your calculator, and give this one a try

Here is a graphic that you can take just for trying:
