>Chuck Palahniuk
I've been reading his books since I found out who wrote Fight Club in 1999. My brain does NOT want to remember how to spell his name. It makes me feel like I have a learning disability.

the correct path is always blue. path popularity is based on line thickness.
So how is vertical ordering decided? It's not lexical. EDIT: I just looked again and it has changed. Perhaps the vertical ordering is random?
I don't think the vertical ordering contains information.

#13Oh that was disappointing - I hadn't heard of one of them so I hit what I thought was the "skip" button, and it took me straight to the results of all of the questions without letting me try any of the rest. I realise that this is because I am stupid - there is a warning, but I thought it was just warning me I wouldn't be able to try that question again, not that I wouldn't be able to try any of them.

#15It seems likely that I am not the only person who can't spell Chuck Palahniuk's last name. Edit: Now that I think about it, it might be more accurate to say that nobody can spell Chuck Palahniuk's last name...

I can never spell "bureaucracy" correctly without assistance. I always have to spell check it. Sometimes I can't even get close enough to spell check. I can't think of any other English words I have such trouble with.
