hi plant - not too bad thanks!! good to see you're still on the official site :D octo - thanks for your very interesting views on the quiz - I quite agree with what you said, but also, I have got to say that IMHO playing the game on anything more than the middle difficulty has got to be a SADO experience ;) - even at the middle difficulty the aliens shown wicked intelligence so I dread to think how you can possibly play it beyond that, I would never even consider doing so - so you must have unbelievable tactics and non-stop awareness - I have used missile defences and they have never stopped ANYTHING but I bow to your experience :-) orca some of the questions are "trick ones" ? octo is this true? :-0
