Subject: Quiz-O-Meter 3 - COMPLETE
Date: Jul 17 12

A meter has been tacked to a wall in the Author's Lounge and no one can say for sure what it does. Perhaps if our fine authors can solve its riddles we can fill it up. Who knows?

The old reply to thread function was removed because it got to the point where people weren't even reading the announcements and assuming, by default, that they were somehow being wronged or forgotten or insulted or abused or cheated out of something in some manner.

Perhaps the clue suggests a style rather than a title and a Fill In The Blank quiz is required.

Mind you, history has shown that any clue in quotation marks suggests a verbatim quiz title.

It worked! What was the criteria for everything?

That's a wrap for this satisfied meter.

1-3 - 'Are you feeling unwell?' [Quizzes require a disease name, or an indication of disease in the title (ie. 'Flu', 'Sickness', 'Illness', etc.]
4-6 - 'What are the odds?' [If an author writes this quiz, it must bring their quiz total up to an odd number to count]
7 - 'What's your favourite scary movie?' [Must write a quiz about a single horror movie/multiple horror movies]
8 - 'Trouble ahead!' [Quiz can be anything. As long as the author announces their title in the thread, it will count.]
9 - 'Fun?' [Quiz must be written in the Thematic Fun category (10q). They will not get any hints. This is the 'trouble'.]
10 - '"Fill 'er Up!"' [Quiz must use this title to finish the challenge.]

Not sure where you guys got the opposites idea, but you took it as far as it could go. XD

We were grasping at straw, Kyle! Your meter's criteria are quite clear NOW, but not at the time. Especially the one about it having to bring the author's total up to an odd number - we never even cam e close to guessing that one, hence our desperate attempts at mindreading.

Well, that was actually fun. I'll be in from the beginning of the next one.

I would never have gotten it, but it makes sense now, of course.

nannywoo: Well, that was actually fun.

Don't encourage him! He'll only make the next one even more opaque, so he can spend his time watching us writhe and squirm trying to work it out.

I must admit, though, that I like these meter challenges better than ABBA.

ABBA is a four letter word! Thought we weren't allowed to swear on here ;)

Well done on completing the challenge, L_T. Getting the 'odds' one right was just sheer luck, then. We stuck to the 'opposites' idea because it seemed to be working! Using 'thematic fun' was more luck than judgement too - my first thought was to do something in People, with 'fun' in the title, but I couldn't come up with enough questions to make it work.

If you have a quiz that you think qualifies you just paste the link here once it is online and then the meter will tell you whether it meets the requirements or not.

Buddy1 To link a quiz, go to the title bar of the Internet, copy the web address, then come to this thread and paste it.

You can do the copy and paste other ways, but I learned the keyboard technique once when shortcuts weren't working. You highlight the web address, as Buddy says, then hold down the CTRL key and type C (for copy). To paste it, you have your cursor where you want the address to go, then hold down the CTRL key and type V (don't know what that's for, but it pastes it in). Or just use the copy and paste in the Edit menu of your browser. Always amazes me when it shows up!

Check out You Tube for visual instructions on how to copy and paste :-)

zorba_scank What would we do without Youtube instruction videos! :)
