I read the Rag daily on my iphone. Except for & only today, there is never a place or link to make a comment on my phone. Sometimes it’s a question & often a compliment.
Can this issue be corrected ??

Gentle criticism: It’s kind of lopsided to have two questions in a row (which happens a few times in this quiz) on the same basic subject. I know writing quizzes isn’t easy, but it would be more fun (and maybe easier for this reader) if each question were a on a discrete topic, not, for example, two questions in a row about the Park Avenue Armory (random example, not a quiz spoiler.)

But I love this new quiz feature anyway! Turns out that even though I’m a lifelong native I don’t know as much as I thought about the UWS.
