[Wim Vanni]

No problem here.

[Nico Van Brandt]

nope, no problem

[Adam Zedan]

All i get is

GOAL OF THE GAME: Herd all the cows into the pen by answering the questions correctly. Each time you answer correctly, a cow moves into the pen.

NUMBER OF ROUNDS: Depends on how many questions are in the pool. At the time of this writing, there are 161 questions in the pool.

NUMBER OF QUESTIONS PER ROUND: 12

SCORING:

After each incorrect answer you will see the correct answer.

At the end of each round you will see the number of questions and the number of correct answers as well as the percentage of correct answers.

When you have completed at least two rounds, you will also see the cumulative number of questions so far, the total number of correct answers, and the percentage of correct answers.

Good luck. 

But no game.. or anything..
I am using firefox 3.6.18

Could The admin please let me know if there are other requirements which i may be missing ??

[Adam Zedan]

Tried it in IE and it works
Looks like it has a problem with FrieFox

[paul wheaton]

I'm using firefox and it worked.

Vicky,

Are you still seeing the problem? That looks like the net connection may have been wonky.

Adam,

Is it possible that you have some java stuff set to not go in firefox? I'm using firefox version 5. I'm thinking that we need to first try to duplicate the problem and I'm hoping there might be a shortcut to figuring this out.

[Hussein Baghdadi]

It works on OS X 10.6.8 and Safari 5.0.5

[Kristjan Toots]

I'm using latest Firefox and it's fine by me.

[vicky Aggarwal]

i tried on both IE and forefox, but ots not working.

It just show me a blank div with a small cross on left top.

Still unable to run it.

please let me know in case of any information require.
