Arial or Helvetica?
BooYah! First time, baby!
If your response is "Bah, they look the same!", then read this article, which demonstrates the differences between the two, and then this article, which charts the history of the two fonts, and explains how the differences matter.

Hey, congratulations! I got 6/10 the first time -- then I had to spend time in Photoshop comparing them, finding things not mentioned in the articles before i could get full marks. Like the inside of 'A', and squared-versus-horizontal ends on the 's'.
I had no idea that they were so similar... always thought Arial had many more differences, for some reason it always looks much worse.
