Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) This is the N-Europe Official Quiz. There will be prizes! Maybe just forum based. Maybe real life based. A New Round Coming Soon. Just 4 Rounds left until a winner is decided. Update 22/09/10 Scoreboard Updated Unanswered questions from previous round explained! The Rules: 1. Most importantly: One correct answer per person, per round! The only way you can have another guess at something else is if we tell you that your guess was wrong, which includes if someone else guessed before you, or if Rule 3 comes into play. 2. Post your answer in this thread. Only answer one question until told you are wrong. Post it so that it is clear which number question you are answering. No PMs necessary. Use whatever means you want to get your answer. Google. Wikipedia. IMDB. Carrier Pigeon. It's up to you. 3. If there are questions that have not been answered after 24 hours then the remaining questions are freed up for those who already have a correct answer. This means that it is your only opportunity to get more than one point per round. The quizmaster may decide to let you answer just one more question, or several. 4. Scoreboard will be kept in this post. Prizes will probably be given to the top 3 or 5 depending on how successful it is. 5. We don't yet know how many staff will be taking place, hopefully all of them! If we get a final number of rounds, I'll let you all know. 6. If the quizmaster makes a mistake, don't have a go at them; send them a Private Message about it.

After quickly answering (no idea why I felt the need, with so many questions :P) I scrolled down and saw how many I could've answered. I hope we get the questions re-opened a few times just so that people attempt some of teh tricky but oh-so good questions. I fancied myself for that three-pointer!
