I had a go and got 84% which is shockingly terrible, but then as i have not read or seen 'The Hunger Games' as yet (*sighs and says that it is not fair!), it could have be..."

You need to read them. They are amazing!

It's so annoying - you keep trying and every time you get so close...and then BAM! You die!!

Haha yup! Every time I think I made it or I'm almost there and then...dead.

I got 93% and somehow died.
Speed does not when the Hunger Games, people!

I don't like quizzes, people can't tell me what I will and Won't do.

I got 95% on the first one though,]. I liked the format buuuut I wanted to answer all the questions

I keep dying and I also keep getting numbers above 80. Apparently the odds are not in my favor.

Haha I'm doing the exact same thing...

94% - almost!

I got 91% both times.

Highest score was a 98% after trying many times!!!
I think maybe the trick is to get a variety of qualities...

91% again!

I got 78%... Apparently I'm very instinctive ? O.O
I love the suspenseful music though.

OMG 98%! SOOO CLOOOOSSEEE NOOOOOOO

So the sponsor's hints in the bottom-right corner... they change every time you play, right? So you'll need different qualities every time you take the test?

I'm not sure. I just thought that to get a higher score you had to get different qualities in the 8 questions. So, like trying to get a different quality for each of the questions... Did anyone else see this? or am I just wrong??? :)

I got 88%

92%!

Okay so what qualities are there? There's courage, speed, strength, instinct, cunning, intelligence....
What am I missing?

charisma

98%! Woohoo!

I did it! Yes!!! ~Haelee~ was right, we needed a different quality for each question. I went through the questions, trying to get a different quality for each.

WHOAH!!!!!! AWESOME!!!! Totally going to try that! If we were in The Hunger Games, you would come out Victor.

@Aurora - Nice!! That's awesome!! I think you're the first person that has beaten it on this thread!

Ahahaha thanks guys :)
I guess there's kind of 9 qualities; Courage, speed, strength, instinct, cunning, intelligence, vigilance, charisma.... and luck. xD

I got NINETY-FIVE PERCENT and still did not win.
