See if there is interest for this.

*peeks in looking for quiz to cheer me up* aww shucks :-(

aww sorry Em.

Ok so Rosamund and I have been talking about the Quiz getting a bit stale, and old. These things go in fits and starts. We've been going pretty faithfully for 9 months since Leddie kicked it off again in April 2006, which is pretty impressive.

That's a LOT of questions!! (lol and answers) Who would have thought there was soooo much useless information out there.

So what say you devotees of quizdom?

Give it a rest for a couple of months? Make it "weekly" for a while? Just make it 'easier', so more people 'want' to have ago?

Any ideas?

Whatever the general public wants to do is ok with me. I just know that knowing that this is here really cheers me up...Pathetic as it is, it gives me something to look forward to when I'm actually well enough to get on here.
So, I suppose if I had to pick a solution, I'd say weekly or just let anyone who wants to post a quiz post so that there's no responsibility upon winning......just my two cents :-)

I totally agree with you, Em. We can wait for the winner for 24 hours, and after that anyone can post the new quiz. If the winner has no intention to post, he/she can say so right away. Or, as you say, there doesn't need to be any responsibility upon winning.

I like the quizzes easy and I think anyone can post after 24 hours have passed with the last quiz being answered correctly.
So in that spirit: I decided to make a very easy quiz for those who actually pay attention.

These first questions can be found in this Daily Quiz thread. And don’t worry, I am too lazy to go through too many pages worth. They are all found within the first 10 pages or so.
1. Who discovered X-Rays in 1895?
2. What is roman numeral for 1000?
3. Has Sleuth Admin ever played the Daily Quiz?
4. Who was the first person to make/come up with a quiz besides Jstkdn?
5. What does TAFKADD stand for?

The next 5 are general Sleuth knowledge or easily found.
6. Where can you find Lucy?
7. What 3 factions are in New York?
8. What is the first requirement for joining any agency?
9. How much does a one year subscription cost (with and without a coupon)?
10. Which moderator has the most picks in the Moderator Picks?
