Another quiz tonight for those interested
Jump to: Newest in thread
Hey folks,
After last week's quiz went so well I've decided to do another one tonight.
For those who are interested I will post a link up at around 8.
I'll also be on Zoom to give assistance for those who wish to log on. Zoom is optional though and not necessary to participate in the quiz though it can help make things easier for you to understand and follow.
If coming unto Zoom later: Just like last week, it is solely for the purpose of helping to conduct the quiz. Courtesy and manners expected at all times.
Anybody who acts inappropriately, misbehaves, or behaves in a disrespectful manner shall be booted.
I look forward to seeing you all later.
Thanks. |

You just need to use your phone or ipad
No zoom required "

ZOOM isn't necessary.
I will be hosting the quiz from a website called AhaSlides.
I will post a link up later tonight.
All you have to do is click on the link and enter in your quiz name plus pick an avatar.
The screen will then say question 1 of..... (however many there will be....around 80).
People then just need to wait patiently until everyone is ready and and then when I start the quiz each question will come up on your screen in turn.
For each question there will be four possible answers.
All you have to do is choose whichever answer you think is the correct one then click submit.
If you get a question wrong then no points are awarded.
If you get a question correct then you will be awarded points based on how quickly you answered.
The maximum points you can get for an answer is 100 and the minimum is 50. The faster you answer correctly the more points awarded for that question.
Sometimes it's better to take a few extra seconds to consider answers as a lower score for a correct answer is still better than 0 points for a hasty wrong answer.
There will be a leaderboard shown at the end of each round to show everybody's position and then an overall leaderboard at the very end to show the winner.
The round topics are:
Art & Literature
General Knowledge
Geography
History
Music
Politics
Science
Sports
TV and Movies
And a bonus round
The quiz will be fully interactive and is pretty much just a case of point and click. It will work fine on any Smartphone, tablet or laptop/desktop.
The only reason for the Zoom is so that if there are any glitches or problems I can communicate directly to explain or help, but it is not necessary. |

That's great. Zoom not really needed. As you did last week's quiz you know how it all works now anyway. |

"I did the first round last week but my phone's browser updated, restarted, and I couldn't get back in 
Will be on the laptop tonight hopefully! "
I'd noticed a few had joined the quiz but didn't finish so gathered they maybe just had problems with connections or whatever. Will be good if you can make it tonight. The more the merrier. |

Well done Pete
My mobile connection dropped in, of all rounds, the Music round
Not saying that I would have ranked any higher but was really enjoying it and phone nearly got flung when that happened
Good fun OP and well done for organising
Kudos also to Miss J who was leading most of the way until that very interesting last round of quiz short term memory

Thanks for joining in everyone.
It's not just about winning though well done to Pete for coming 1st and well done to Miss J for coming so close but tripping at the very last huddle. 
Maybe next time Miss J.
Bit of craic for everyone during this lockdown madness and I'm sure those of you who know each other enjoyed trying to outdo one another also.
I might repeat this one tomorrow for those who couldn't make it tonight, and have another one ready for next week.
I'll post any details up here in the forums anyway. |

"Just wondering if the questions are the same as last night Justin  "
Hehehe. I might be busy tonight but if I do repeat last night's quiz tonight those who already did it won't be able to answer the questions again.
They can try but it will just show on the screen that they have already answered the questions and that the scores are already logged. |

Could maybe do a repeat of last night's one tonight, for those who missed it if there are enough people interested."

I'll fire the link up shortly. Anybody who did it last night won't be able to redo it though as it will just come up on the screen each time "You already answered this question", plus the scores were logged. |

"great stuff Justin!! really enjoyed that!"
You did really well. Right up there near the top.
SoFarUpOurs were storming it then faltered in the second last round (TV and movies) then lost on the last which meant last night's winner was overall winner.
The difference in points though was literally the difference in answering any correct answer a few seconds sooner. So close. |

"Is it on here or on zoom??"
Hey Dub. I will post a link up later at round 8. All you have to do is copy and paste the link into your web browser and it will take you to the quiz.
I might have zoom running too but it isn't necessary. It would be just for assistance and a bit of banter while the quiz is running. |
