+
*Though illegible normally, the paper on Strong Bad's desk can be read if zoomed in:
-
:c. tort
+
<blockquote>
-
:d. meringue
+
''Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?''<br>
 +
<br>
 +
'' '''a.'''  an ounce''    '' '''c.'''  a week''<br>

 +
*Question 4 spells "the Cheat" with a lowercase [[integral article]].

===Glitches===
 +
*If you really are Strong Bad's kind of person, there's a glitch in the quiz that will allow you to cheat. Simply hold the mouse button down on an answer and it'll tell you if it's right or wrong. Keep holding the mouse button and move your mouse away from the answers before you let go. It won't count it as an answer, so you can pick again. The red X or check mark that appears will remain, however.
 +
*Very rarely, even without earning a perfect score, Strong Bad will stop in the middle of his line and start saying the "perfect score line".

[edit] Answers

{Answers are immediately indicated to be correct or incorrect, with a check mark and "ding" sound or with an X mark and "buzzer" sound respectively. There is no running count visible and the total results are not revealed until all questions have been answered.}

  1. ^ c. Dokle II
    From Theme Song Video.
  2. ^ b. Disco Tech
    "His bio" refers to the Yearbook Character Page. In mid-2003, the Character Videos replaced the Yearbook (it is still online, but not linked to from anywhere on the site) — notably, Bubs's character video does not mention his education which can make this difficult to answer.
  3. ^ d. wear a bikini!
    From Main Page 3, triggered by hovering over "Store".
  4. ^ a. Garfield
    Seen in Homestarloween Party (the only Halloween toon at the time this quiz was made).
  5. ^ a. thirty-two
    From The Luau.
  6. ^ c. Why Must You Suck So Bad?
    From Strong Bad Sings.
  7. ^ b. 285,194
    From A Jorb Well Done.
  8. ^ a. Prance
    From Hairstyle Runner.
  9. ^ d. He took a vow of silence
    At the time, this was only indicated in Who Said What Now?. In subsequent years this has been frequently referenced, most prominently in The Poopsmith's character video.
  10. ^ a. strudel
    From Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 2.0, Message 4.

[edit] Easter Eggs

The mouse can be moved over the name plate, microphone and "diploma" in Strong Bad's office to make Strong Bad say a line of dialogue. This cannot be accessed if all ten answers are answered correctly, as the card will obscure the objects.

  • Name plate:
    STRONG BAD: Hey, keep your greasy fingers off that.
  • Microphone:
    STRONG BAD: Hey, don't touch that!
  • Diploma:
    STRONG BAD: Pretty impressive, huh? I bet you're pretty impressed.

[edit] Fun Facts

[edit] Explanations

  • Ditto machines were a popular, inexpensive way to make copies of paper documents, frequently used in schools during the 20th century. Copies made from a ditto machine had a distinctive smell (referenced in the page title) and purple ink color.

[edit] Trivia

  • Canada is often referenced, though the characters never attend night classes there.
  • Though illegible normally, the paper on Strong Bad's desk can be read if zoomed in:
Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?

a. an ounce c. a week
b. a weak d. pepper
  • This is the first mention of cinnamon.
  • This is the first time an index card has appeared.

[edit] Remarks

  • The second Dokle cabinet in Theme Song Video used the numeral "2", while the quiz refers to its name with the Roman numeral "II".
  • Question 4 spells "the Cheat" with a lowercase integral article.
  • The sign on Strong Bad's desk is misspelled as "Prinicpal Strong Bad". This spelling reappears in CGNU and Teen Girl Squad Issue 8, establishing it as the "correct" spelling for Strong Bad's academic title.

[edit] Goofs

  • Cinnamon is spelled incorrectly as "cinammon" on the recipe card.
  • Manufactured is misspelled as "maufactured" on question number 8.

[edit] Glitches

  • If you really are Strong Bad's kind of person, there's a glitch in the quiz that will allow you to cheat. Simply hold the mouse button down on an answer and it'll tell you if it's right or wrong. Keep holding the mouse button and move your mouse away from the answers before you let go. It won't count it as an answer, so you can pick again. The red X or check mark that appears will remain, however.
  • Very rarely, even without earning a perfect score, Strong Bad will stop in the middle of his line and start saying the "perfect score line".

[edit] Inside References

If Homestar drank 18 glasses of melonade, if coach z really had bkbkbkbkbkkbmore than
hjhjhjhjhj b problems, hjhkhjkhjkhs does he have?
