Strange?!? When I was there this morning, it was the same kangaroo one. It let me answer & said I got points (will have to watch my account to verify). I just saw your post so went there & again same questions, let me answer & said I got the points. So what the heck, I did it again and the grillin' one came up. Well ya know by now I had to try again... It was the grillin' one & said I was done. So.. I'm not sure what's up but thanks for the right answers.
