Doctorate in Buzzology

Mar 11, 2008 4:42AM PDT

Hello Alexes,

The request for a doctorate in Buzzology has been fulfilled thanks to Bing Tan, Ken, and Jurgen at Thousand Minds Social Media.

If you get a proper number of questions right, you'll get a customized diploma suitable for framing.

If not, you get the chance to take it over again.

here's the link

Big thanks to these guys for making a snappy fun labor of love!

Cheers,

Tom

Very Good Questions & Coding

My compliments to the coders at Thousandminds. The test is simple but not easy (if you don't know the answers).

Unfortunately, I am as good at Buzzology as I am at my own PhD... I can't pass!

Thank you for the compliments on the coding...test is really hard, I guess Tom didn't want it to be a fly-by course! Tried it 3x and failed 3x don't think taking it anymore times will make it any easier.

I'd just like to make this shout out for the boys who did the work (I simply coordinated with Tom, which is the easy part!) - Thanks to Reynan, Sherwin & Russell!

Great quiz
Mar 11, 2008 2:48PM PDT

I found a little difficult. I average between 5-8 correct answers. Can't seem to beat that.

I love it though!
