So, after lots of checking and re-checking of round 10 scores, I can release the results. The issue? A score that seemed to good to be true. However we found no indication of foul play whatsoever, so we do have a new "fastest lap" time.
8 minutes.
That is EIGHT minutes. You can't hard-boil an egg in that time, but you can write a quiz. At least if you're Mariamir.

Wow, 8 minutes! From seeing the clue, to having an idea, to making a template probably leaves you with just about 5 minutes to make all the questions without corrections! Sounds a little fishy, but I will still say great job!

How did you do that, mariamir? That's like 30 seconds per question.
I am in awe. Congrats mariamir. :-)

"I must admit to some serendipity on last week's quiz. Because I couldn't write it for several days, I saw three others come online, and had a pretty good idea what the requirement was going to be. I was even able to mull over possible titles and approaches in my head, saving probably about an hour of time. Then I chose to do FITB, with the same hint for every question (type it once, copy it to all the other hint boxes) - that meant no time spent coming up with viable MC options, and typing them in. Since the topic was familiar phrases, it wasn't very time consuming to write up the extra information - no lengthy research required. I will never again write a quiz that quickly!"
To quote l_t. So, basically, same thing. Only, since it was wordplay, I had almost no extra info to write. II is my biggest speed block!
Thank you, everyone! I set a goal to get the fastest time, since our team is definitely not going to place first!
Oh, one CAN boil an egg in that time if the water is already boiling...just saying. :P

The pair of you are wicked and evil and I can't decide which of you is worse on this last task. Not a lot to choose between you. I think you're just sitting there laughing at the thought of the extra grey hairs you've just given me.
Pass the chocolate and the gin please.

That sounds ominous. I'm deferring the joy of finding out what they've come up with until tomorrow.

Plodd just became the first official finisher of the Sprint. The quiz went online without any issues and it managed to adhere to my clue as well.

Swamped this weekend with a religious convention. It's all I can do to play my daily games for the team. I'll do this Monday or Wednesday. :-)
