... but he seems intelligent enough not to have mis-spelt the word "Business" in his Newgrounds username. There are also a few mis-spellings on the front-page of the web-site you have listed. I went to Jayisgames, and it appears that Rob Allen also created a pretty complicated banner puzzle-game for them... which kinda lends itself to making one wonder about the simplicity of the web-site you're touting. Not that I know for sure you aren't him... but then there is also the fact that you haven't replied to any of the comments that claim this may be stolen.
I liked the game. I just hope it is yours.

Eh, missspellings. Bugger them. And the simplicity of the wobsite? come ON, it's been down for ages, it's still being reborn. And I've been away for a while, getting my act together, so that's why I have not responded. It's my game.

Why did even the "correct" answer to the "impossible question" turn out wrong? I tried it twice, once answering "C" and once not and in both cases, all it did was show "C" afterward (which I assume meant that it was the correct choice) and subtract 10,000 points from the score. It's just dumb. And the word "pyrrhic" doesn't mean any of those things on the list anyway. It isn't a noun that means a "victory greatly costing the victor", it is an adjective you would ascribe to the victory to convey that it came at cost to the victor. So, you thinking you were so smart by knowing some obscure word only proved that you really don't know that much about it at all.
Many of the puzzles were pretty lame as well. Like the "I Pod" thing... totally counter-intuitive to a normal puzzle setup and execution. It was only a very, VERY loosely based relationship. And Mario? You had to stoop to using Mario references? C'mon. Come up with something original.
If you're going to make a quiz game, do your homework to make sure that all of the questions and answers are correct and plausible yourself before assaulting others with it.
Author's Response:
1) The question is the IMPOSSIBLE question and you got a pyrrhic answer
2) Well you know the pyrrhic is an adjective and all that stuff so even if I displayed it as a noun you would still get a correct answer (well not really) because you know all about pyrrhic.
3) I know nothing at all? That makes me sad....
4) I Pod thing is counter-intuitive? I don't see why.
5) I put in mario because most gamers are videogame gamers and i thought they would enjoy the game more if I had some type of videogame question in.
6) I was assaulting? Sheesh, its just a game. ( I think it is mroe fun if you feel like a loser so you try even harder as you progress.

Custom cursor is all over the place... anyone using Flash who doesn't know how to do it or doesn't know how to use Google to go find out how to do it should be ashamed of themselves... as should anyone touting this as an "awesome" topic for a tutorial. The snow is fair, but there are all sorts of particle-type examples out there, and snow really doesn't follow too difficult a pattern to duplicate. A timer is also not something I would consider awesome by any stretch of the imagination. And the only thing even remotely related to Christmas in this was the snow effect... otherwise, I wouldn't think you should have called this "Christmas Actionscript". That's just dumb.
