Well, first I did Kris' quiz. I started out doing it quickly and got the 
first two wrong, Then I slowed down and got the rest right. This confirmed 
what I already thought, that I'm reasonably intelligent, but not a quick 
thinker. Next I looked at Andy's Mystery Chord, but failed to identify the 
chord or get the nerdy joke. So I slowed downd again and looked 
carefully... 
but I still don't get it. Mind you, it could be a trick - it's virtually 
impossible from this two dimensional picture, to tell whether he's actully 
touching the guitar strings at all.

Baffled,

Steve
