In fact, ive rekindled my love of history and education, if im not treading on the quizmeisters toes, would he object to me starting a history quiz of my own? ;D No problem at all, would welcome it. 8-) Obviously it would be good if you could loosely follow the tried and tested format....all I really mean by that is that "100 points for a correct answer" would be quickly censored ! :D |
