Wait! I did not post AGAIN last night??? How is that even possible?
I got 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, missed 16, got 17 and 18, missed 19, got 20.
I mean, it is obviously my fault, and I am closing the window after I verify that I have correctly typed the correct answers into the PREVIEW window, but it sure is maddening.
Oh, well, I probably won't know any tonight.

Aha, I might have figured out what I am doing. It is when I change or correct an answer, and I fix my mistake, so I hit Preview again, and THEN I think it is the final.
