Title: Prove you're a smartie pants!
Post by: AprilWhine on July 31, 2007, 09:01:52 AM
Minnie Mouse on MINI2 runs a daily quiz that is fairly popular. I play regularly and thought some of you might enjoy it too. I set up a private quiz for HRMINI with a rotating selection of fairly easy questions. Hope you enjoy it!

HRMINI Smartie Pants (http://my.funtrivia.com/tournament/HRMINI-Smartie-Pants-74531.html)

If you've drank the kool aid and want more:

MINI2 Daily Quiz (http://my.funtrivia.com/private/main.cfm?tid=45515)

This one is hard General Knowledge every day.

I must point out that the quiz is scrambled. During one day, every person may get a totally different quiz. Very seldom do Sherry and I get the same quiz, even if we click on start at the same time.  :?

Sort of evens the playing field. And keeps you from registering under a false name and previewing the quiz before doing it in your own name.  :shock:

Sorry ... that job is taken.

Also, I am a horrible pillow and blanket whore.

And we are learning we have been spoiled ... for years and years we had a queen sized bed. About 4 years ago we got a King. When Scott came out here he got another queen - last night we realized how tiny a queen is, even without the cats.

Peace,
R.


PS - can't wait for the history and geography days!!!! Altho I have learned from others' examples - I am NOT throwing out that "I am going to pwn you" threats.

You mean the HRMINI and MINI2 quiz? You need a login for each quiz, but it can be the same name.
