2013 Pre-GP Quiz Championship

What's happening..

Miracles, Mephistopheles. Miracles are happening in this little corner of CTA.

Results are in for Spain!

A 1.5 point victory for teabagyokel see him comfortably extend his lead over Johnny Carwash and the very tight pack chasing second place.

Scores were very close in Spain, allowing F1Yorkshire to score for the first time, and Mephistopheles to score for the second week in a row. The top is very daunting with teabagyokel 50 points in the lead after his two-and-a-halfth win. A pack of four competes for second place, with Galahad on thier coat tails.

Pastor jez101 will be delighted to learn Jos the Boss is writing the quizzes for Monaco and Canada as he hopes to repeat his suprise win.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Am I?! Really? Completely forgot!

 

[teabagyokel]

Yes, Jos the Boss, yes you are.

 

[Mephistopheles]

I can't find the Monaco quiz....

 

[Jos the Boss]

Well I will get writing soon, and Mephistopheles that may be because it isn't up yet!

 

[gethinceri]

'Cos his weather manipulations take presidence over any puny quiz.

 

[Mephistopheles]

What hammers my noggin is that in one table I'm beating gethinceri and in the other geth is beating me.....

 

[RasputinLives]

I've just done all the quizzes (I was bored) so can I play now?

 

[teabagyokel]

RasputinLives - I think you need to wait for Monaco...


(...Jos the Boss)

 

[tooncheese]

RasputinLives, as long as you register a score within a week of the quiz opening it will be counted. This is just to stop me having to check back through all the threads and adjust the points accordingly.

 

[tooncheese]

The tables are now showing the adjusted scores for the quiz writers, giving the likes of Jos the Boss and mjo a more accurate position. The formula is S*(D/D-W) where S is the actual score, D is the number of quizzes completed, and W the number written.

A five way tie for second had maintained the status quo in the battle for runner up, whilst aiding teabagyokel's runaway lead. Johnny Carwash, Galahad, and myself are in contention in both table along with the two quiz writers. Well Done to The Artist..... who scores well on his debut.

 

[The Artist.....]

tooncheese... Still an awful long way behind though!!! Damn you teabagyokel #shakesfist!!!

 

[Jos the Boss]

I'm gonna need to make sure TBY scores 0 in the next quiz, which I'm writing!

 

[teabagyokel]

Jos the Boss - Bring. It. On.

 

[McZiderRed]

Why aren't you worried about me?

Just a few good scores and you're all buggered..!

.... After all, it's the second half of the season that's my strong point...

 

[F1Yorkshire]

I do love this quiz championship, the only downside however is the honesty factor. I'm 99.9% sure none of us would actually post a score that we didn't get but if there was a way of automating quizzes where scores could be actually posted I'm pretty sure it could take on a life of its own,

Multiple choice questions to make scoring more consistent, possibly a timer too to make googling trickier too. I'm sure it could even become a factor for giving out the coveted CTA mug and other prizes!

Brogan, Mike & teabagyokel Is it possible to create a script for this or use existing code from elsewhere and make the quizzes even better for 2014?

 

[McZiderRed]

Do you honestly believe that I would post a score that's "below par"..?

I'm as honest as the day is long.......

 

[F1Yorkshire]

You're a cider drinking squirrel, I'd trust you more than anyone!
