It says we get only 1 shot at this quz and that all answers are found at RocDeals.com. I found a RocDeals page at http://shopping.democratandchronicle.com/ROP/Categories.aspx - got it from a tab on the D and C home page above the main headline picture.

It would be a good idea to find RocDeals.com and have the site open as you answer the quiz.

Get 1 answer right - 5 points
Get 20 answers right - 145 points
Get 25 right - 350 points

Be careful, one of the questions is a tricky one! Took me 10 min to find that one!

Other than the tricky Q that Micci mentions, how hard/easy was this quiz? How long did it take to do the quiz?

If you have the RocDeals page open and use teh Search box for each question, it's not hard, it's just typing. 25 questions with a search for each, but just a few minutes. Took me about as long as it takes me to do Medium Sliders.

A faster way is to use the Advertisers tab and then go to the first letter of the advertiser, gets you there quicker, but the one I mentioned is not found that way, you have to do a search on that one. Micci

It was easy, just make sure you read the questions and take your time, there's no time limit. There are two kinda tricky questions. One has two ads to choose from, look for the "key" word to get it right. The other one isn't giving you the store name to search for, so I suggest using the search box. I was only putting in one word in the business name and had no problem getting the right ads to look at.

What clever people the PTI people are! I've read the Democrat and Chronicle every day for years and always ignore the ads - too much visual clutter, too much overload. I want straight content.

After doing this quiz - sooo much easier than a maptitude quiz - last night, and then reading the paper this morning, the ads pop out at me. Clever!

I see no one in the top 20 has any other new-in-Week-6 achievements except this quiz. Does this means there's no extra Saturday newspaper puzzle this week? I searched the paper without finding anything untoward, just the ads popping out at me throughout the paper. But I could have missed something.

I'm thinking the Charlotte ad changed this morning because I'm def. not seeing any televisions. Or a way to review old ads.

I don't see it now either, but the header does say that Charlotte's ad is "new". I got the achievement last night, and the question was what was the original price (i.e., probably doesn't have the $'s off, and was lower than you'd think). Hopefully that helps.

Unfortunately, that ad appears to have been replaced with a new one unexpectedly. We're working on posting a new question in that spot.

Until then, the answer is ...

$899
