Some tips for aspiring quiz masters:
Create a Word document or similar with your questions in so when it comes time for the quiz you can just go "create thread" and cut and paste the document in.
Have a copy of this open in another window so each time a question is answered you can simply cut the question from the document and replace it with the poster's name, this lets you easily answer those "what questions are left" posts and also helps with collating the results afterwards. (You can also add each correct poster's name at the bottom and update the number of right answers each time to speed things up further)
Don't use the "new posts" button, use the "back" and "reload" buttons. This allows you to read eg message #2, check the answers and post "correct" or "wrong", then step back to message #2 to ensure that you don't miss any answers. (Hit reload if it was at the top of the page or things have slowed down to ensure you don't miss any posts that have been added)
Periodically go right back to the start of the thread to check through for edits/ amendments/ missed posts/ mistakes etc.
