Matty22 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I thought I would start up a quiz thing, this will either be a good toppic or a major flop.How it will work (hopefully)Every week I will devise 5 questions which I will give everyone a week to respond to , on a sunday I will go through everyone who has entered and see who has the most correct answers. If you have the most questions you win a point. I will update a table with rankings and whoever has the most points by end of January -ish is the Thorpe Park BOFF. I really hope this can be a success. Please post if you would be interested in taking part and according to how many people are interested I will start the first quiz a.s.a.pPlease reply Matty22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Not a bad idea, in fact a very good idea! *expresses interest*One thing, how are you going to constantly come up with 5 questions a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty22 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 well my next question if I got interest was, I would need someone to help me with the quizzes as my knowledge of coasters isn't that great. I would need someone experienced to help me. Any volunteers would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I don't know that much about coasters, but I feel that I know a great deal about THORPE PARK and its rides specifically. I'd be happy to help with some questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealth888 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 With regards to the comment made about everyone viewing everyone elses answers, I have devised an elegant solution Matt could come up with some questions, post it on this topic, and everyone has a deadline to answer them by.But instead of posting answers on here, we could send our individual amswers to him privately, then he could update this topic with the real answers and all of our scores.I also think we should have a leaderboard to see who has won the most quizzes in terms of the most questions answered correctly. For example:1. Themeparkmad Score:12/12 2. Stealth888 Score:8/123-4-5-.....and so on.(or something like that)and with every quiz completed, the leaderboard could be updated.working progress>>sound good?

TimR Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I did try to use spoilers, but I can't work out how to use the new spoiler system, when I press spolier and enter the text to be masked and then click add, nothing happens...
