Having spent a night watching Mastermind and University Challenge and then demolishing all comers in the pub quiz I feel it is time to unleash my knowledge upon the world. I propose a general knowledge quiz for any Dopers who wish to join.You get points and at the end of a certain time,prizes are awarded for the top 3.We did this on another forum and it worked very well. However we need at least half a dozen of you to make it work.Anybody’s brain interested? Even if you’re 😕 :smack: then join! ---

I’m in (depending on how it works) I usually wipe the floor in chat-game-bot-rooms on irc. But they are a lower standard of oponent I suppose. I can get probably 85% of the questions on the weakest link, but I’ll get about 2 right on University Challenge. ---

Depends. Will it be like the recent Jeopardy thread and require me to constantly refresh to try to beat out other people doing the same thing? If so, I’m not interested. Even as much as I’m on the board, I’m not quite that addicted. If it’s some sort of email based game, I’m up for it though. ---
