Quiz
 
I'm working on a quiz .... need to gauge interest.

The quiz is purely sound based, so how many would play during the working week ??

Talking of which, where's today's quiz...?!

Re: Quiz
 
If this is done during working hours (say 9-5) then it may stop a lot of people taking part due to some companies etc not buying computers with audio playback capabilities. I know at my old job there was only one PC that had speakers and they weren't official ones either.
What time would the quiz be done?

*ahem*

A combination of product recalls, last nights beer and an appalling memory, I've forgotten about the bloomin' quiz again :dozey:

Right, I categorically promise that the 'normal' quiz will be at 1 o'clock on Monday :dunce:

I won't be able to take part in any quiz that is run during the working week.

I'm running enough risk just being on the site from my work computer ;)

This is what I'm trying to gauge ....

Due to the nature of the quiz, during the day may not be the right time to do it, in the normal fashion.

I'm considering creating the quiz and closing the thread, allowing 24hrs for people to listen. Then re-opening to allow answers. Just thinking aloud at the moment.

Well it's a lot more difficult to google for music!

Although I do recall hearing about a service that could identify all sorts of pieces of music for ringtones.

Hmm, ah! http://www.shazam.com/uk/do/ringtones

Nope I wouldn't be able to take part in the quiz either, I don't have sound on my work PC.

I'd enjoy a quiz but it would be best launched around the time people get home from work as an evening quiz I think.

Re: Quiz
 
Having enjoyed a sneak preview of the quiz Simon is referring to, I can promise you'll all want to have a go, so I think it needs to be run outside work hours when most people will be able to. :D

I do like the idea of posting, closing and then reopening later though, to let the max. number of people download and listen to it. If we do that, it should be reopened during an evening.

Re: Quiz
 
Cheeky answer yes from me as I am one of the "at home" mums so my work week is 24/7 (almost).

Why reopen? Why not take PM's for the answers. One per entrant containing all of there answers and then post the results 24hrs after the quiz was posted.

Public posts are more fun for all the members than PMs no-one can see, and posts are also easier to manage than PMs, as you can see all the posts on-screen at once.
