It is rather well-balanced, yes. Unfortunately, I have no idea which 64.28571428571429% are correct, except from noting that these tend to break either to "of course" or "huh?"
Heh. Nominally. I noticed the disclaimer but decided I disbelieved. On my Mac it works fine under Safari (which is Konqueror-flavored, rather than Mozilla).
Guess I've been spending too much time working on books instead of focusing on what's really important. Too many questions for which I didn't even know what they were talking about. I still got: Baron_Elric: 52.38095238095238% nerd blood flows through your veins.
I hope this means I'm not completely over the hill.

As other have noted, no way to know where I was wrong. I doubt I got much on game stuff, Wolfstein???... no idea what 'the vault dweller is, or TI-89 in Phoenix. Never played Magic the Gathering, I made an educated guess on the Warcraft question seeing a character I thought was from a different game. Lost a few on Fantasy stories too 'Twinkle drizzt'?
As a non-game-player, my biggest nerd embarassment is not being familiar with the Sluggy-Freelance universe. Enough friend read this that I should be on it. I suspect I mostly got by on strong LotR, StarTrek, and HGtG knowledge.
Hmm. 42.857142857142854%, I did skip almost all the questions I wasn't dead certain on, but still... There were a number of things that I'd never even heard of.
I like the fact that the questions themselves are obfuscated, in the sense that asking "Twinkle::Drizzt" doesn't give much context to those who aren't in the know.

And frankly, I think I should get extra credit for noticing that question 20 was wrong. (Unless... he was quoting a deliberate mistake from some other source than the obvious... Argh!)
That bothered me too, but I wasn't sure. It's the one I resorted to Google on, and got the answer he had. Meanwhile Day is actually on cable right now, but they don't seem to spell it out. Or maybe I missed it.
Well, to be fair, I think anyone who's ever been to the SF Film Marathon noticed that question 20 was wrong. Although, now that you mention it, I'm going to be tortured with wondering if it was a trick question...
