Title: Sunday's quiz
Post by: TheBoy on 03 August 2008, 18:48:40
Need to test out the quiz system, so having a quiz tonight at 8pm.

Anyone wanting to take part, please reply on this thread, and I'll PM you details for captains login page.  As its purely to test that the system works, answers can only be input via the captains page, no MSN this time.

Also, I'm after as many teams as possible, so would appreciate as much help as possible by having as many captains as possible.

The captains page is http://quiz.omegaowners.com/captain.asp and the page for team members, if applicable, is http://quiz.omegaowners.com

Captains have to do a 'human test' then log in with the credentials I will PM.  Please note, I am aware of a bug that shows the wrong question number for captains (if asks the right question, but it does ask the right question)

As I guess many people may be shy about their general knowledge, I will not post scores other than top 3.

All others will be kept private and nobody other than me will know :)

At what point did it stop submitting info - during the 2 'human test' questions, or during entry of userid/password?

This is all useful information :y

Evening all. Would'nt submit answers to colour questions if that helps, Capt name & password seemed ok. Still none the wiser but hope you sorted what you were trying to sort. Wish i could've at least watched the quiz, sure i'd have known all the answers!!!!, Guy. 8-)
Title: Re: Sunday's quiz
Post by: TheBoy on 03 August 2008, 21:11:58
Right, the top 3:

Debs, 30pts
JamesV6CDX, 30pts
Mrs TheBoy, 22.5pts

(Max possible was 42pts)

I doubt anybody knows the height of a hill in Wendover Woods (I lived there for 20yrs, and I would only be able to get withing 50m), so I suspect a bit of cheating going on with the tie breaker, meaning we are unable to seperate the top 2, who both got it bang on the answer given in google's top hit  ::)

Thanks to everyone who took part (and those who attempted to take part), it has provided useful info to getting the quiz system fully working.

I will make some changes to my dodgy code in an effect to perfect it.

Normal Loo-knee service will likely resume soon ;D

I might offer one suggestion for the Q and A page; if it`s do-able, a 'count-down' to the next question would help greatly in not missing the chance to submit one`s answer before the next question displays. ;)

BTW: many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. The Boy for the smashing-work on the quiz tonight. :y
