Community History Quiz
« on: January 13, 2011, 11:03:32 pm »
Procedures :-
1) A asks a question, the rest will try to answer.
2) A must confirm which answer is correct.
3) Person (say B) with confirmed correct answer then asks the next question.
4) A cannot play again until B's turn is over (to prevent the thread turning into a 2 person spam party).
5) Repeat.
6) If person asking question doesn't login to confirm answers within 72 hrs of his question being posted, any one can ask a new question.
7) If no one can answer question within 72 hrs or can't get the right one, questioner can ask again.
8) NO Net book, or other resource searches.
9) If answer has been confirmed and the new questioner hasn't set a question in 72 hours, anyone can ask the new question.
10) Please don't try to ask questions that involve other subjects This should be purely about history

What great scientist was born 300 years to the day after Galileo died?

Well, leafiness needs to ask his question ;D
Does the quiz have a policy about this? (Not asking a new one within so much time)
