Even HN falls to it's knees in the presence of an internet quiz and the opportunity to show off a score. Unrelated, you used to see ridiculous amounts of quiz's being shared on Facebook only a few years ago and they seem to have all but disappeared. They where obviously shady in some aspect (maybe some kind of data collection), did something actually happen to them or did people just get bored?
