    I am going to be pedantic as ever and disagree with some of the questions (even ones I got right!).

    Question 2

    A 5* hotel does not have to have a conference room. As more and more of the best hotels are boutique style, conference rooms are become less of the norm in 5* hotels. Also, if you refer to the UK standards, quality is now a measure, as well as available facilities.

    Question 3

    Is there really a need for the use of the word 'shockingly'? If you put the costs into perspective, and remember that you are talking about FOUR tickets, there is nothing shocking about it.

    Question 9

    Agree with others, compensation is not given for delays.

    Question 10

    I disagree with the answer. If a flight is booked as a return ticket (and the question does state that this is the case), you would be covered under s. 75. If a trip is purchased as two singles, as is usually the case with low cost airlines, then you would not be covered.
    Gone ... or have I?

    6 out of 10 using Windows XP and IE8. Not too bad for an alien living in Sweden not knowing too much about UK money matter :)
    I would agree with others on question 9 that 1,45 hours delay would not give you any right to compensation...

    I'm also using IE8 and XP and got half a screen like the one shown previously. It also asked me in the yellow bar at the top to run Adobe Flash Player (which I've already got :confused:) I clicked run and the page refreshed perfectly.

    Only got 3/10, now that is shocking :undecided

    Interesting quiz though :)

    I'm getting the same half screen issue as above today - I'm using IE6 I think.

    Also when it displays the answers, the green tick or red cross image are chopped off...

    Good quiz though!!

    Hi folks

    Thanks for all the help.

    If anyone who had the half-question problem is still around, can you let us know whether you used the 'Next Question' button to cycle through question or used your keyboard's 'Tab' button instead?

    Cheers
