See if there is interest for this.

1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

I can't claim victory for this quiz... I'd've only gotten 5 or so on my own. Clara totally rocked this quiz, so I'll put it on her to come up with the next one. Unless she doesn't want to, then I'll post one...
