I started a daily trivia challenge for members of the afterdawn community. It is a free game, simply create an account, login, and play. The site is spyware and pop-up free. Each day the trivia will include 10 questions of a random nature within a predecided category. Since this is mostly a video help forum we will start out with Movie Trivia. Each week I will change the category, and will gladly take any suggestions for what the category will be. http://my.funtrivia.com/tournament/LOCOS-Brain-Twister-46202.html Click the above link and create an account, bookmark the page and visit daily. At the end of each month the top 5 scores will be entered into the hall of fame forever and if you are lucky the top scorer will recieve a set of fuzzy dice to hang from the rearview mirror. EDIT: This is a timed quiz, so the longer it takes you to finish the lower your score will be. Wrong answers count against you as well as the amount of time it takes to complete the quiz...be swift my friends.
@LOCOENG Great idea!! I'll check it out. Plus I've always wanted fuzzy dice to hang from the rearview mirror LOL
#1- Quentin is a man who writes puzzle books. His editor gives him a task for his next book. He must produce 500 puzzles in the space of 80 days. He has created 300 puzzles already. However he has been working slower than normal, producing an average of 15 puzzles for every 4 days. How fast will Quentin have to work now to get the book finished on time?
#2- Every student in a second grade class sends a valentine to each of the other students in the class, for a total of 306 valentines. How many students are in the class?
#3- Answer quickly. Starting with an empty barrel, which happens first? 2/3 full 1/4 empty 1/2 full 3/4 empty
#4-You are filling various lengths of tubes with marbles. A yellow marble is 19 mm wide and a green marble is 21 mm wide. How many marbles of each color will exactly fill a tube that is 562 mm long?
#5-Annabel, Cara, Graham, Jordy, and Maddy went to Sally's Sweet Shop for a treat. Menu: Ice-cream Sundae $2.65 Double-scoop Cone $2.10 Chocolate Fudge Cake $2.40 Juice Float $1.00 Chocolate Candy Animal $1.25 Ice-cream Soda $2.25 Each person got something different and each gave the cashier $3.00. Every item on the menu was purchased by someone in the group. Annabel got back 3 quarters, 1 dime, and 1 nickel in change. Graham got back the least amount of change. Cara got back 40¢ more than Graham. Jordy is the only one who bought 2 items. He still got back 3 quarters in change. Which sweet treats did each person buy?

@Ireland I don't see the answers on your personal page... @RoNin Come back and try again, each day there will be a new quiz and each week the catagory will change. We need about 25-30 players per day for it to get interesting.
ANSWERS TO ABOVE....QUESTIONS Quentin is a man who writes puzzle books. His editor gives him a task for his next book. He must produce 500 puzzles in the space of 80 days. He has created 300 puzzles already. However he has been working slower than normal, producing an average of 15 puzzles for every 4 days. How fast will Quentin have to work now to get the book finished on time? Answer Quentin will never get the book in on time. He is on his 80th day. If he has been producing 15 puzzles for 4 days then, 15*(80/4)=300.

Yea, I'll try it too. I don't have a rear view mirror so I'll wear one die from each ear. In my neighborhood, no one will notice. @Binkie...those fuzzy dice are MINE!!
