Sporcle

Picture the scene.
You're at work, school, college or university, and you're a little bit bored of doing the work so you search the Internet for some games to play but don't particularly want to be caught playing a game.
So why not try something "mentally stimulating" like Sporcle?
There are a wide range of quizzes on there that are suited to many people's tastes.
If you find any quizzes that you like, post them here so that others can have a go. Why not show off your scores?

ACCESS DENIED. This Sporcle thing seems to be banned at my school by Educational Surf Control. (N)

I only got 60 in the 'commonly used words' one. Although, to be honest, for the first 10 seconds I thought it was 'commonly confused words' and I was sitting there wondering why it didn't accept 'effect/affect'. Then I realized.

I liked the 'corporate logos' one. I got 15/16 on that one Apparently that's the average though, so woo.
