I got a 5 and a 7 on the etymology quiz. It's different every time so you can take it multiple times.

I got a 2 and then a 3 on the quiz. The 3 wasn't really an improvement - there was a repeated question that I had gotten wrong the first time and I remembered the answer.

Even though I've never taken any interest in etymology, I admit I was still surprised at how badly I did.

My second attempt was an 8 on the Etymology quiz.

Years of reading Imponderables, The Straight Dope, Panati Origins and the Browser's Book of Beginnings is finally paying off!
