    Thinking of having a quiz in real time for next week maybe at 20:00 Thursday when I'll have a number questions set

    Round 1 (thank function)
    True or false questions
    Using the Thank function if you think the statement is true and not using it if you think the statement is false

    Round 2 (poll function)
    Multiple choice questions
    Using Multiple choice poll function which will allow for 1 question with a choice of 4 and 7 questions with a choice of 3

    Round 3 (page refresh or tab)
    Question stream
    A specific question like name all Roald Dahls childrens stories (17) and poster A would give one answer then poster B would give an answer

    Round 4 (PM function)
    A set number of questions is placed on this thread and each contestant posts their answers

    It'll be hopefully a quick quiz with a quick result and if anyone is interested please reply here and if the time doesn't suit post a time and day that might be better for you
