See if there is interest for this.

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. :)

Another sleuth one:
1. Dickie Tracey detective agency used to be?
2. Who is responsible for writing "as the world sleuths" a soap opera posted on the sleuthchat website?
3. Who won the last bio competition?
4. Which two sleuths recently met in real life and fell in love?
5. Which sleuth will they be visiting at the end of this month?
6. Arabesque is a director of which agency?
7. Who solved the 1 millionth sleuth case?
8. Name one of crunchpatty's pet peeves?
9. True or false, my double is really Lucian Ty?
10. Some people refer to a certain sign, that they'd like to have implemented to indicate important things in sleuth. For instance displaying the sign when people want to post in the recruitment thread while they are not subscribed, or when a director quits and agency causing the agency to dissolve?
