Congratulations to Ellie Moen, winner of this month’s character quiz. (Email me ASAP to claim your prize.) We set a record for quiz entries this month–45 hopeful entries. Of those, 28 responders got all of the answers right–100%. That is amazing, and so many that I can’t list them here. You will know who you are when you read the answers below.
Because there were so many ties, I used random.org to generate the winning number. So, hopefully that explains what happens when ties occur.

If I won this quiz, would I be able to enter the spring contest?
This contest has nothing to do with the writing contest. This is just a fun character quiz. You can enter everything regardless of whether you have won before or not.
Okay, thanks! But if you won a quiz, could you enter one again?
Absolutely. The character quizzes are about once a month. You may enter every month, even if you have won before.
Thank you!!
Wow fun!
Yay! Another CQ! I haven’t read the new books yet but I think I know most of them. Question 18 sort of gives away question 16…..
Are you sure about that? 🙂
Oh, no! I just remembered…. Well I can still change it if I need to!
Ok, I entered my answers!
Yayyyyy!! ill do it on wednesday!
I love quizzes and already sent in my entries! I’m SO GLAD you picked Cory Blake instead of Melinda or Mitch! I know Cory a LOT better than Melinda, and, believe it or not, Mitch!
I love the character quizzes! This one is especially fun. Thank you for putting it together!
Oh, and, Mrs. M? I forgot to put question 19’s full answer before I sent it in. Is that a problem? Should I resend with the full answer? Or should I just leave it?
It’s fine…
I sent in my answers! 😊
I sent in my answers!
can you check if you got my email Mrs.M?
If you get a reply from me it means I got it. If you don’t get a reply, it means I did not get it. 😉

I know most of them! Tomorrow (or later today) I’ll send in my answers
Did you get my email?
What email? For the Cory quiz? No, sorry. I have not. Whenever I get an email, I reply to let you know that I got it. If you don’t get a reply, it means I did not get it.
Ok 🙂
I just did the Cory Quiz and sent it to Mrs.M
I mean just yesterday
My name is Elizabeth
What if you don’t have stranger in the glades? Is the answer in Memory Creek Ranch?
You can always browse and find out. I got rid of all my old Tales books.
You got rid of all your old tales?
Can you get them back? I want to read them.
Were they funny?
Did you write them?
Was it cold when you went to see the snow?
I rewrote, updated, and incorporated the old Tales from Memory Creek Ranch and More Tales from Memory Creek Ranch into the new books. Here is the link to learn more: https://circlecadventures.com/milestones-5-6/
The younger Tales (from the Circle C Ranch) are still available as a book, so no, I didn’t get rid of those younger stories. And yes, I wrote them all.
My name is Elisabeth Davis Swan
But call me Lizzy or Beth for a nickname
Are you sure the book is right for question 13?
Absolutely. So far, over 20 entries have all gotten 100% and I know the answer exactly. 🙂
Just curious but, if over 20 all got 100%, how do you pick a winner?
The winner is chosen by a random drawing, just as it is laid out in the rules on the character quiz post.
I send in my email too, right?
Not sure what you are asking. You do need to include your email in case you win and I need to contact you.
Who won the Quiz?
It doesn’t end until 6pm. I will announce it tomorrow.
Oh, wait, I thought that the contest ended on the 28th and the winner was chosen on the 29th! Must have misread it lol!
I also updated to haven’t end a day earlier… Today
Did you get my answers? I sent them in a few hours ago but never received a reply. Sorry!
I finally checked my email. I’ve been out in the garage getting ready for the upcoming homeschool convention this weekend, so I got behind on checking my email. sorry! It should be there by now.
