    Play the Clippy Game and gain entry to Chris's Club!!

    We are a rival gang to Honeybee's Club. The initiation test is to complete all 3 rounds of the Clippy Game (http://www.microsoft.com/office/clippy/game.asp). Anyone who matches or beats my accuracy score of 49% may join this *exclusive* club. membership benfits include abolsutely nothing more than the joy of belonging.

    Of course, you can only be accepted if we have proof of your acheivement. So make sure you attach a JPG of your triumph! (and no doctoring the results!!!!)

    Let the games begin!

    I think I'll wait till I get home before trying it. My boss might be marginally less than amused at me if I play it here

    So why did he say "You do unerstand the object of the game was to hit me"? Doesn't sound like a winning performance to me...but numbers don't lie so welcome abord. Star, you are Number 3. Arise #3.

    Club song...hmm. it will have to be Clippy's traditional Blue's tune

    [lyrics]
    It looks like your writing a letter
    Would you like some help along the way
    Yeah it looks like you're opening a spreadsheet now mama
    That's the kinda thing I used to say
    Tried to tell ya how to create a template for ya database
    But you just yelled at me to go away

    Looks like your writing a letter
    I do believe I could format it better
    But since you upgraded to XP
    Looks like you go no use for me

    I pleaded my case to Microsoft
    I told them I made PowerPoint hip
    Yeah I pleaded my case to Microsoft
    Told them that users think I'm a trick
    But they told me a little company secret
    XP Stands for eX Paperclip

    Now that ain't right
    [/lyrics]

    and I think the lyrics are great for the club song but I think a calypso beat is better than the blues if we are called clipso!

    According to websters....a clique is an exclusive group of friends or associates. It's in the dictionary just above the word cL$@^#%s...if you feel the need to verify the definition!

    Ked, you are one cool customer. 69% is pretty impressive.

    Okay, a new minimum level has been set. You must score 52% or above accuracy to be granted membership of "Chris' Cool Clipso Clique" which at present has 5 members, making it that little bit more exclusive.

    Keep gaming!
