The Trinity Quiz
For those that did not get a chance to do the quiz at the beginning of 2005, it is back, but now you can see straight away whether you have got the answers right.
When you think you know the answer to each question click on question mark under your chosen answer.  It will change to a tick if you have got it right and a cross if it is wrong.  You can click again on another answer if you got it wrong.  As you proceed through the questions the ticks and crosses remain so that you can see how many questions you got right first time.  Do not click refresh or the ticks and crosses will disappear.  If you want to research elsewhere on the Trinity website to find the answers, then use a separate window.
