Great debugging job!

Victor (vbe) found another issue in the trivia DB and I have confirmed the bug and fixed it.

Also. I have adjusted all recorded user scores to this question (47 total adjustments) to reflect the correct answer.

FYI, we are approaching 40,000 answered questions in computer trivia.

Thank you so much Victor for finding this bug so I could fit and adjust the scores easily!

Well done!

OBTW, Victor also leads everyone in computer trivia with a total score of over 91%, having answered 158 questions to date. Victor's current score of 91.1% is a full 20% higher than the average score of all members, which is 70.1%; and his score is close to 50% higher than for guests (unregistered members).

This is really impressive, as the questions can be very tricky at times and Victor is a native French speaking, not English.

Wow! Very impressive.
