A little something different from me this week: an interactive puzzle/quiz! Given how much I enjoy sporcle’s online quizzes (and since envy is often the best form of motivation), I sought to teach myself a little jquery and AJAX in spare moments between boredom. The following is my feeble attempt at coming up with a quiz to put on this site. I apologize if it’s a bit buggy. Good luck.
