Each question on β's quiz is worth 2 points. I got 70 on my first try with little translation. For question 10, the dates are from the official quiz and not my input. I suppose the theory that the story takes place in 2010 is now ruined.

Wow!! Thanks so much for putting up a translated version. I'm ashamed to say I failed even though I've read all the light novels within the last two months.

Anyway, I saw in this thread somewhere about reading the light novels on an iPhone. You can download an application that I use, Dropbox, a really useful online file hosting/syncing program. Both the iPhone app and the online registration are free. The app conveniently allows you to "favorite" any file you like so that you can access it and read it on your iPhone when you're offline.
