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. :)

Here's an English quiz:
1) Regarding word forms (verbs, adjectives, prepositions, etc), what is the 'the' in the following sentence ...
"There is no 'the' in this sentence."
2) What does the Greek prefix 'hypo' mean and give three examples of its use in words.
3) Rewrite the sentence below, correctly inserting apostrophes:
"The childrens party wasnt particularly cheerful. Since Annes pet Davross had died at the dogs home, she hadnt been in any mood for entertaining and didnt make any efforts to make Marcuss birthday any brighter. Images of fluffy, loveable dogs were constantly on her mind."
4) What is the shortest complete sentence in the English language, and what rules does it satisfy to qualify as a sentence?
5) Using Latin and Greek prefixes and / or suffixes, design a neologism somehow related to Sleuth. E.g: sleuthaphilia - (n) a pathological and excessive love for the game of Sleuth and / or its related community : o )

"I am."
Pronoun and verb?
And I'm not gonna try to beat that, Markie! Unless I could add "unreasonable", considering our lot.

Sassyfrass tea, roots, I think. Used in root beer also.
Neurocam is basically a hoax, I think the general consensus is. A secret organisation that asks you to do odd stuff in a clandestine manner.
I think Bryola is the departed math wonder.
I can't find the thread with Greyling's origin on, please tell me before I go mad!

Well done CFM, for being the first to get the shortest sentence.
The rule is that a complete subject must have a subject and a predicate - 'I' obviously being the subject and 'am' being the predicate, or verb part of the sentence.
I like it Markie P! It has an actual application in Sleuth life as well : o )
