Self-refential quiz

Looking for a self-referential multiple-choice quiz that I saw in... 2003? 2001? It is similar in content to the James Propp Self-Referential Aptitude Test that is all over google search results but is categorically not that one.
It was at least 10 questions long, may have been 20. The linch-pin question that allowed you to solve all the others was about a non-rhyming color name and I think the trick was that silver is not the answer because somewhere it was stated something like "Vernon is a werewolf and silver will kill Vernon" (silver rhymes with kill Ver) though I might be confusing that part with something else. There was definitely no barometer question which the Propp test has. Other information, I may have seen it posted on a site by someone with a username like poopy or poopypants or poopie or something like that. I don't think I originally saw it on MeFi and did check the user poopy's posting history to be sure there were no links from him to such a quiz.
