Cardinal Richelieu Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 43 minutes ago, The_Kincardine said: I did a 10 minute google of things like 'daily quizzes' etc etc and things could be worse. India's GK Today has a reliable set of daily quizzes including such questions as: Which international organization has officially launched the International Year of the Period Table of Chemical Elements (IYPT-2019)? Who has been elected as the new chairman of Broadcast Audience Research Council of India (BARC)? Which of the following countries have launched a common digital currency “Aber”? The Africa Centre for Climate and Sustainable Development has recently launched in which of the following countries? What is the India’s rank at the 2018 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) of Transparency International (TI)? Dara Dotiwalla, who passed away recently, was associated with which sports? India’s flagship hydrocarbon international conference ‘PETROTECH-2019’ is scheduled to be held in which of the following cities? Better the devil you know? BTW 6/7 for me Yes. Well done. But without wanting to go all Kincardine all of a sudden, surely there's a decent and fair BRITISH quiz out there we could take? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesP_81 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Found this one on a quick search. The name would suggest it's daily and seems a fair mix of question topics. Lacking in Australian sports and Japanese Islands however... http://quizoftheday.co.uk/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as a quiz it's fine. It's also got options for a league which would certainly make my life easier. The only problem? How the hell do you find yesterday's quiz? There is an archive, but it's not chronological and therefore, not worth a carrot. Often thought about creating my own quiz-site offering 10 questions a day. If only there was some way of monetising it! (not that it's all about the money, but I dream of having my own hot-tub). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that list doesn't show any of the previous "Quiz of the Day" ... and even today's quiz of the day doesn't have a unique URL - it's just the home screen. I'm guessing that the quiz is just generated randomly from other quizzes. Basically, it's only possible to do the quiz on the day it's posted (which might please some people but not others!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A challenge is good though! Yeah, as our staunch friend pointed out, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. And I've never achieved a 10 (or a 0 for that matter) in the Aussie quiz so unless a brilliant new quiz site that ticks all our boxes magically appears, we'll be sticking with the Aussie quiz for the time being. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 The cardigan has spoken, no changes will be made. Welcome to the tyranny we quiz under. FWIW, I’m happy to fire on with the Oz quiz...you’ll soon learn the satisfaction when a Japanese island question comes up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not that it's all about the money, but I dream of having my own hot-tub).Fair enough, I only had time for a quick squint at the site and seemed almost too simple to suggest it. I knew if I threw it out to the masses the flaws would be exposed pretty quick! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
