I like where this thread is going. Now please, someone explain to me how Cabaret and 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee are the same.
I'm having the same trouble as dramamama on my android phone. Works fine on my laptop. My best month ever, I think - 92%.

I did the quiz on my phone - it says i completed it but it's not displaying my score anywhere. For the best, probably;I doubt I did very well. It was hard.

To date (Jan. 20 2019) CFA has had 802 shows. To break Jekyll and Hyde's record, CFA would have to play another 787 performances which would take slightly less than 2 years.
