Billkozy's Manmade Wonders

Billkozy on 02/17/2007

Welcome to the February Challenge Quizzes -- a game for quiz takers and makers.

This is my take on the Community Quiz, "Manmade Wonders." Some of you who answered my survey already know what this quiz will be about, and a huge thank you to all who participated! I polled Sploofusers, those who wrote quizzes about architecture, and many others as well, asking them to vote for their "5 Favorite Architectural Achievements Throughout History" I heard back from 110 people, and using a formula that combines the order they placed their choices in with the sheer number of votes received, I tallied the results and have discovered what the overall Top 10 were. They are the focus of this quiz. So without further ado, the following quiz features the Top 10 Favorite Architectural Wonders that Sploofusers have voted for. Thank you so much to all of you who took part--you make this a lot of fun for me, and I can only hope you have fun seeing what you and your colleagues voted for.
Best Wishes,
Bill
