Could we make like a massive quiz of like 50 questions and all the questions are timed so you cant cheat. The winner wins something. It would be interesting to see who knows the most.

I've put in the Fun and Games section that I'm going to be starting a quiz league for the forum starting next week, not a timed one but one to keep you going for 8 weeks, with there being weekly questions.

Would it be possible to have a timer for the whole quiz and when the timer runs out youre just left with how many you answered. They do that at my school for computing tests. Would that be possible?

People just look up the answers and it's boring, plus there has been a million of them already.

I don't think so - certainly not within the confines of the forum anyway

Cant think of any way to do it within the confines of the forum without doing it via another website and enbedding a java or flash applet.

There's no way to do it within the forum, but it could work on the website, that's for sure.

Don't see how it could work personnaly, but then again I know virtually nothing about computers

I could write a program to do it on the computer, never been particularly great at web stuff but basically anything that can be done as a program can be integrated into a website, if anyone had the time to do it then it would be possible on cricketworld.com

it was good but I would have lied about my age if I had known I was illegal. Was very annoying, I want that bat.
