Just like that fishy smell from under the stairs, the n3ta gamers quiz has returned to both bemuse and delight. As in our previous quiz, 'correct' answers are worth 10 points, 'incorrect' answers are worth as much as a politicians promise and 'smart-arse' answers are worth 20 points. "How do I know if I've selected a smart-arse answer?", you belch. The answer is, "You don't." At least, not until the end anyway. Oh, and some of the questions require Flash. However, if you don't have the necessary technical marvels for this, there's a version just for you. So which will it be: the amazingly special Flash Version or the not so amazing, but still special, No Flash Version
