Subject: Looking for Ideas

Posted by: Matthew_07
Date: May 16 11

Sometimes I can only think of five or six questions for a ten-question quiz. And then the quiz template will be left unattended for weeks simply because I can't think of any other suitable questions that fit the quiz. This is particularly true for themed quizzes.

So the purpose of this thread is for you to post the type of questions that you would ask for your quiz, and the others might have some ideas for some of the questions for your quiz. You can acknowledge their idea or contribution in the interesting information section or the quiz conclusion part.

When posting, you can include the title of the quiz that you're working on, or you can just post the type of questions that you want. Or, you can ask for ideas for interesting quiz titles from other members as well.

However, if you're working on quizzes for Quiz Commissions and don't want to spoil the fun, you can describe the type of question that you plan to have in your quiz, and not give away the title. Also, you can always "hint" the type of questions that you want so that you do not "reveal" the title of the commission that you're working on. Let's keep the title of the quiz to yourself until the quiz is online, because that's what commission is all about, right? :)

On the other hand, if you're working on "normal" quizzes, i.e. quizzes other than commissions, then you can choose if you want to tell the others about the title of your quiz.

Have fun and let's get those quizzes online. :)

Okay, I will start first. I need to look for five questions about some of the most iconic or trademark clothes that were worn by the characters in various movies (preferably famous movies as I intend to make this an easy quiz). Anyone can help? I just need five more questions to complete my quiz.

Thanks all for the input. I think I will choose five from the list, perhaps the movies that I have watched so that it's easier for me to write the interesting information. :)

Good idea, Matthew. You'll retain pride of ownership in the quiz you write from this, yet you've allowed others to join in on the process and have given us all a quiz to look forward to!

How about Carol Burnett's dress in her spoof "Went with the Wind," where she leaves the curtain rods in when she wears the famous dress made out of drapes?

Oops, mlcmlc, I didn't read your "curtain dress" post closely enough. I'm sorry.

What a great episode that was!)

"Sound of Music" making clothes for the children out of curtains. Curtains get a lot of action, don't they?

This thread is a good idea. I am lucky enough to live with my daughter who is always ready to toss around ideas with me - if not for her, I'd have much more trouble getting some of my titles to completion (or even started). And sometimes it just takes one suggestion that you don't even use to make things fall into place.

Hmmm, "Enchanted" also used curtains as clothing. Good idea, Kyle, this could make an entire quiz. ;-)

So, who would do the curtains quiz? Is it catch as catch can? I don't know how these things work.

And now the end is near, / and so I face the final curtain :) :(

Curtain Call? That used to be the title of a business my mom, aunt, and grandma owned and operated. :-)
