A Game For Font Geeks

Nonsense
I did a graphic design
course a few years ago and during it developed an
interest in typography. Since then I have become a
font geek of sorts. (Just as I can tell the
difference between an Australian and a New Zealand
accent,
so too do I know the difference between Helvetica and
Arial.)
Which brings me to the point of this post. Found, via the excellent Daring Fireball (whose author, John Gruber is a font uber-geek), The Rather Difficult Font Game.
The server upon which it is hosted seems to be getting something of a caning at the moment. It flaked out on me on round 22, by which time I was enjoying a score of 19.
(Disclosure: I only cheated a teeny-tiny bit, and referred to Font Book once or twice, but only to confirm my suspicion.)
