Webby's Backgammon Quiz 1

Rules:

Ummm... there aren't any :-) This is just fun.

You can test yourself properly by completing all the questions then clicking on the "Grade It" button at the bottom of the page to see the results, or for those who simply must know the answer before moving on, you can press the "Cheat" button ;-) This takes you to the corresponding answer and analysis on my analysis page. Navigate back to the question page with either your browser back button or the back icon provided at each analysis. Another way to cheat is of course to press the "Grade It" button to check your answer (no limit to how many times you can press it).

I would suggest you take the quiz in the manner it is primarily designed for though. That means complete all the questions, without peeking, and then pressing the "Grade It"button.
