Enter 10 multiple choice questions below.
After each question insert [answer1;;answer2;;answer3;;answer4;;answer5::correct answer]
where you list your five possible answers (including the correct one) in the [ ] separated by ";;"
followed by a "::" and the correct answer;
then press the "makeit" button below.

For example:
Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?[IKE;;Grant;;JQBarley;;Lee;;Lester::Grant]
You must have 10 questions and 5 answers to use this version!

NOTE: You can't use html tags in the answer choices!
Make sure you answer matches the correct answer choice exactly in spaces and punctuation.
Example: '12 pounds' does not match '12pounds' or '12 Pounds.'
Due to an apparent bug in some versions of Netscape avoid using the words 'value' or 'values' in your answers.
