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. :)

Well done, girls, it took less than an hour to solve the quiz. Is it a new record? There's no need for me to write the answers, Clara wins with 20/20.

it's kind of a good idea but I don't like it.
Don't get me wrong, if sure other people like it!

One neat idea is to check the dates on posts. People have been "if sure liking it", every day, for almost two years now.

Or was that some really cleverly worded question?

Ok, since I know I stand no chance of making such a beautiful quiz like Rosamund and Breitkat did, here’s a quiz on something I’m totally cazy about (apart from Sleuth) – adventure games:

1) What’s the name of the game in which “a flower is a symbol of pain, of death within death” and florists are botanical weapons experts?
2) In Discworld Noir, detective Lewton undergoes a serious metamorphosis. What exactly happens to him?
3) What does the protagonist of The Longest Journey, April Ryan, do for living, and what does she study?
4) His name is George, her name is Nico, his name is Andre. Which adventure game series feature this love triangle?
5) What is the greatest ability of Guybrush Threepwood, the mighty pirate?
6) What does Jane Penvellyn – one of the characters in Nancy Drew game “Curse of Blackmoor Manor” – wants to do when she grows up?
7) The main character of this fairly recent game had a grandfather who was a detective and a grandmother who was a prostitute. What’s the title of the game?
8) He had a really tough night. First, his dog was kidnapped. Then, he found himself in an ugly amusement park which he couldn’t leave. What is the name of that unfortunate detective?
9) What are the names and gender of the trio of performers who help out the main character in Runaway: The Road Adventure?
10) Give at least one title of an adventure game inspired by Jules Verne’s books.
