So I CAN still do this? I don't know what to use then. The very first attempt in my house was when I tried before I registered... which technically I didn't even attempt, all I did was view the questions. THEN I decided to register and that's when I submitted answers for the first time. My husband tried some time later in that day. I've already tried clearing cookies/cache and it won't let me try again logged in or out.

The account that answered 10 questions already, 5 on the 19th and 5 on the 25th, is the one that is eligible to continue.
Looking at questions doesn't count as participating, answering does. If he answered before you did, he's the one who's still in the game even if you were here first.

Anyway, 10 more questions to go! At least, 10 more correct ones. I like doing these quizzes without looking for the answers; it's kind of fun! :'D

Thanks EOS and other contributers for a fantastic event. I really like the chair. 
(And this event teaches me some humility, plenty of answers I don't know and can't even find.)

Sorry to post this, but is it possible that my code didn't work? I did the quiz and all that, but when I enter my code in the CS, it says it has been redeemed, but nothing happened. I didn't get anything in my CS inventory.
I can provide SS of my code if need proof that I have completed the quiz.
-Edit- Nvm, my bad. Found it.

5/5 finally.  I've also found that this database loads much faster than HS so guess which one I'll be using from now on for most things.

I copped a database error when I submitted my questions. I'm pretty sure I aced that set easily...
Then I clicked back and submitted again as per instructions...
Then I saw that the answers to the questions got RANDOMIZED, but my choices remained the same...
... which means I only ended up getting 1 correct instead of 5...
Why save the state of the page?
L>explanation.

I'm not [MENTION=2054]Eos[/MENTION]; but I'll attempt an explanation:
What your browser does when you hit BACK is not entirely under the website's control. Especially when there was a database error which apparently prevented the program from saving which questions were assigned to you.
Should have glanced over the questions before hitting Submit again.

The questions were the same, choices remained the same, but answers got randomized.
Of course... why handle for user stupidity right... I should have taken the event more seriously yeah?

Again, your situation is not something the website could control. Because of the database error, it didn't know you'd submitted anything. It's your browser that saved the selections you'd made.
Plus, we do handle for user stupidity (or carelessness), in that you only need to get 35 correct answers out of (potentially) 140 questions. Still almost two weeks to go. All today did to you was delay the day you get your chair. No need to take it too hard.

Of course, delays are inevitable. I'm not chasing after spilled milk. Its the reason behind it I'm after.
Having never run these websites before, I thought the way it works would be when form loads (as back button pressed), the form gets reloaded, hence losing its state as the answers were randomized; but if the form never reloaded, then the questions must have gotten reshuffled at the client side. Question is what sort of script changed it, or was it the multiple choice control which caused it...

The OP of this thread says the following;
"If you do not answer and come back on the same day you will have the same questions. Answer order will change each time the page reloads. Answers can not be changed once submitted."
The average browser back button returns to a locally cached copy of the page, how the browser remembers it being. We have no control over yours exhibiting the unusual behavior of actually going to the address it was previously at and reloading the page instead. In most browsers one would have to have gone out of their way to explicitly force that behavior.
Since in that circumstance you would've had to manually redo all the checks on the page before you could resubmit it you shouldn't have re-answered based on the ordinal position of your answers, and I guarantee your browser did not retain the ordinal position of each answer if it reloaded the page, if it retained anything whatsoever from a previously loaded form it would've retained the selected values themselves, not their position on the screen. That's why a refresh of an attempted form submission in most browsers resubmits the exact same form.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.

Cool event and by far the coolest chair in the game. Thanks SP and Nexon.
