Everybody loves online quizzes. Click a few buttons, hit return and get your answers. Unless, that is, you are doing a quiz on The Guardian.

It has an enticing quiz entitled “Test your geek credentials“.

However, the quiz is a disappointment, not because of the content but because it is a static, traditional newspaper quiz, cut and pasted onto a web page.

No clicking of answers here. Instead you have to write down your choice of a, b, c or d, and then scroll down to the bottom of the page to see how well, or badly, you have done.

Surely as we near the end of 2007, The Guardian could do a proper, interactive online quiz. This geek quiz is just an embarrassment.
