It's not working, I can click anything. I don't see any answers there.
The correct answer(s) have a star beside it/them
I mean I can not click anything sorry.
Apparently, the little asterisk to the left of one of the answers is the correct choice given that the few I KNEW I knew had them. I got them all right and I don't even watch the Today show.... :)
They asterisk is next to the answer you chose not the correct answer.
