Re: General Quiz
Nevermind. Iheartmaths, I would appreciate it if you use hide tags:
{hide=inserttitlehere} blahblahblah{/hide}
use [ instead of {
The above would be

Re: General Quiz
Thank you, Iheart. Hidetags are very useful in these type of topics, so that when you post the answer, others can still post theirs with the possibility of not looking at your answers.
Again, thank you.
