Only as uninflected adverb.

But: blöde Cookies

So don't nail me down on the four letters.

But thanks for posting the questions some of them are really hard while other are pretty easy.

Got spare money?

Zoidberg, everything should be findable...

Though questions 3, 14, 28, 34, and 35 can't be found by easy type-in searches... (at least easily), they should be readily apparent to most users- or logically deducable.

Happy Birthday Apolyton!

I just tried every browser I can find find on my computer:

Netscape® Communicator 4.78 German version
Internet Explorer 6.02800.1106
Opera 6.04

Same result as in Mozilla 1.7.5. And I was more leberately with allowing cookies for IE then I am usually be.

So next try using the resources of my university remotely. This includes an ID address change. So give me some time. AT least it can't be my browser.

Well, browsing Apolyton on a remote computer isn't as fast as from my own computer, but the results aren't different.

Browser:

Internet Explorer 6.0.3790.1830
Mozilla 1.7.6: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050319
Firefox 1.0.2

So it can't be my computer, it can't be my operating system, the computer from that I am posting this is a Windows Server 2003 instead of Windows 98.

Well I can boot up my computer with a linux version and use also other Linux computers and Sun computers from my university. But I doubt that I will see another result.

I took it as a closed book test, no looking up stuff and I'm pretty sure I answered all but 4 correctly.
