All I get is a blank grey box.

19/25

[spoiler]I have my doubts about the mini-blind one though. The cord is on the right, the stick is on the left. And as far as adjusting the space between the slats, I think the cord does that, the stick adjusts which way the slats are slanting. If that makes any sense.[/spoiler]

I remember this one. All I get is a big grey box, too.

I think I had to take it in IE to get it to work last time it was posted.

[spoiler]I got it wrong, but they're right - the cord pulls the slats up or down, but when you want more space between the slats where they are, you'd use the stick.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I got it wrong too, I guess I look at it as pulling the slats up and down is changing the space between the slats, since the space itself doesn't really change when you turn the stick, just the angle of the slat.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]well yeah, but when you adust the angle, the slats can move from touching edges to a big sunlight-allowing gap, so technically the space has increased - maybe not the space at the center pivot point of each slat, but the space between the edges has changed.[/spoiler]

Well, I don't have IE, so I guess I'm out of luck.

My grey box has music!

I'll try it in IE. I think I will do very poorly.

15/25. And I missed the pencil one while I was holding a pencil. That is how honest I am.

[spoiler]I see what you mean, but it still seems confusing to me exactly what they're asking. I would think there would be a better way to phrase it. Not to mention the fact that technically, the cord is on the right while the stick is on the left. Big Grin[/spoiler]

I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just sayin'... Big Grin

[spoiler]On my blinds, it's a cord - and both sets of cords are on the right [/spoiler]

Strange! Every set I've ever had have been like I described, but they've always been the cheapest kind, maybe that has something to do with it.

OK, so yours are just altogether too weird.

Yours are totally different too! I didn't realize they could be so varied.

21/25, but I don't own any mini blinds. I don't think vertical blinds count.

Oh, and I got that question right. Neener, neener, neener.

I think the cord question should be removed. Same as Max for same reasons.


I also had a problem with the fan question... they didn't specify "as you are facing it" so I went with what the fan did from it's OWN angle.

23/25

After a long day of waiting until I could get home where I have a copy of IE installed I'm anxious to go back and read the spoilers that I've been avoiding. :laugh:

It didn't say mini-blinds, it said venetian blinds. I wasn't sure what venetian blinds were, so I pictured my verticle blinds in my head and went with that answer. My stick and my cord are on the same side.

I, like MJ, got 18/25. Confused I thought I would do better, to be honest.
