Nice quiz but needs at least a minute more, better two. Many of the least-guessed answers are the last books... I'd got up to Hebrews when the clock ran out.

Great quiz, but I agree with the above: it definitely needs more time.

This may sound as fault-finding, but isn't "seraphim" actually the plural form of the word? I really have no other problems. It is well done, and deserves to be nominated. With at least one more minute.

Great quiz. A couple of nitpicks though. First, I agree with Prucsok about seraphim being plural of seraph, so either the answer or the question should be reworded. Second, maybe accept "side" for the first question, as this is how it is translated in a lot of versions of the bible.

Thanks to whoever spotlighted my quiz, and for your feedback! I have added two minutes to the quiz length, and changed the answers based on the above. Unfortunately, that does mean that the stats have been reset too.
