My goodness - a perfect score for the 2nd week in a row. Either the weekly news quiz is getting easier, or the 3 months since my doctor weaned me off my anti-anxiety meds has really sharpened my mind.

Wow! I did it again! Ten out of ten! And I didn't cheat - this was my first attempt at this weeks quiz.

I guess all of those hours browsing Internet news sites overnight lately while watching the Ashes out of the corner of my eye on my study's TV are paying off.

Well, I finally did it. Got a perfect score of 10/10 on the ABC Australia News Quiz. I knew it would eventually happen - I've been so close on so many occasions recently. And no, I didn't cheat - this was a first-up effort.

Although it does look like the questions were especially easy this week, since 43% of quizzers got the same perfect score. Still, I'll take it.

Two wrong answers for me this week (the HECS/HELP & the Modi visit questions). Can you do better?
