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. :)

Angry with you? No no no no, absolutely not - I wouldn't, I couldn't, you all absolutely make the early part of my day (even though I completely blame you for distracting me from what I ought to be doing - *looks over on the stack of books and articles that are gathering dust* ;p).
