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. :)

Breit and Squirrel tie for first – good job guys :)


Not 100% sure how the quiz master rotation plan works, Biggie, but yeah most times the winner tends to get first choice as to whether he or she wants to do the next one or not, or else it's when the natives start getting restless – sometimes that can be days other times it's a matter of hours :D
