I got 80. I missed the ferry name and for some reason, I was thinking of the date of the cruise pier expansion and pier park.

You guys are doing great with the quiz.
To put a quiz together is not that hard, if you want to do one.
Usually what I do is prepare the quiz in word and then cut and paste them into the editor. I do trip reports the same way. It just seems easier to me offline.

Here is feature command you have to use: (I added a red X so you can read the command structure so of course if try it remove the red x)

[XSPOILER=You type in question here?] Type answer here [/SPOILER]

When it appears as a thread (with the X removed) it will look like this.

(You type in question here?)
Type answer here
