chessart Enthusiast Registered: Thu Dec 09 1999 Posts: 323 Loc: Ohio USA	I have a quiz ready to submit, but the system is telling me I need a hint for a fill-in-the-blank question. I have already provided a hint. Is there some special technique for giving hints that I need to follow?

A hint could be the number of words or letters in the answer (never a bad idea) or something more substantial such as 'He was American' or 'Has four legs' or 'Invented by Edison'. _________________________ A platypus lays eggs and produces milk - it can make its own custard
