Quizzes and puzzles news July 2010

[AB Editor]

As Summer turns up in dribs and drabs I feel it is time for some more AnswerBank quiz News. Hopefully you're reading this on a sunny afternoon with a nice cool Pimms (or may I suggest a G&T?) - I would imagine the quizzes get more difficult in the summer, although I couldn't say why.

Without further ado, July's quiz round up:

Jpspeed is looking for some help creating a quiz, why not lend a hand?:

As always, if you think I've missed you out, post details (and a link) below or email me here: [email protected]

If you want to get noticed in my original searches you should try and include the phrase "New Quiz" in your question title. It is a bit like tagging!

All the best

Do these have to be charity quizzes Ed or can we advertise any quiz here?

[Ternigapp]

This is a good one:

Hi SquareBear. I would really prefer them to be charity-based - are you thinking about putting up your quiz site?

Another addition:

[squarebear]

Ah you're a good un Ed!

The World Cup has nearly ended but at http://www.triviasquares.com I've uploaded a World Cup Quiz for members to enter for free. Guess the 32 World Cup final countries from the clues given.

For example: ("Two male names" could be Denmark = Den + Mark).

Click on the link on the home page to enter. Nearly £200 worth of cash prizes up for grabs and it won't cost you a bean. If you are not a member of the site, you can register for free. Many Answerbankers are already members.

Blimey SB - the background/border of that page is designed to burn my poor eyes out!

Looks good though.

Which is a nice enough feature I grant you. What ever happened to nice pastel shades eh?

P.S. I do realise a certain level of hypocrisy here - AB is quite "violent" in colour!

[squarebear]

I got the web design tips from that Ling's car site you showed us. :-)

[AB Editor]

Ling certainly has an "enthusiasm" about the business...

Thanks squarebear for that info on the world cup quiz. Have registered and seen the quiz.
The World Cup wasn't up to much in the way of football skills, but I have enjoyed being in the AB Fantasy Football League and am now enjoying this quiz, so AB have contributed to that competition somewhat

[squarebear]

Glad you are enjoying it Ray.

[PuzzledPedro]
