Top 25 Rated Quizzes

Wow very impressive Stu. Also great job to Cellardoor with 5.

Would any of you super authors be willing to reveal your excellent and good percentages?

Coo - Happy Beagle Dance! Thanks, Nightmare!

Congrats to all of the top 25, and especially Arlesienne who seems to have a permanent spot in the Top 10.

"I don't think we get those kinds of statistics. This isn't too far off, though."

In the "My Quizzes" section on "Me" it gives you your percentages for all quizzes you've made. Unless this changes when quizzes become archived?

Ha! Fantastic.

I bet that 39th person feels a fool

(Note to self - play a few of these top 25ers).

What strikes me is that all of these 25 quizzes have highly specialized topics. Naively, I would have thought that quizzes with a broader audience fare better than those that require intimate knowledge of a very narrow field, but these authors prove otherwise. (Of course that means I could play a whole 2 of these without making it a pure guessing game or a "google and paste" orgy...)

Quizzes that are about specialised topics generally take longer to get a ranking, as they don't get as many plays as the quizzes on more popular topics. But once they get that rating...

Wow! fantastic! You guys really are the best:) Noticed that there are 9 Literature quizzes in the top 25! Maybe you guys should go write some books too

I would certainly agree that the more specialised quizzes are generally played by members with a good knowledge of the subject and/or a love of the subject, and a desire to learn more.
Given that scenario, it's to be expected that they will be highly rated. My own top rated quiz, is indeed a very specialised topic, and I personally do not feel that it's my 'best' quiz - which only goes to prove that ratings are highly subjective.

The list has changed slightly. My Inspector Morse quiz has re-entered the top 25 at position 23 after today's rankings. For the last few weeks it's been sitting at 26. It's rated as average difficulty and hasn't been played since June 21st. I wouldn't call it a specialised quiz as the show has been seen in many countries.

lol. I would like to see AnneBonney's The Red Green Show quiz make it that far up! She is usually in the top 50 with that one. ;-) Good quiz.


RomeoMikeGolf, I would most definitely call that a specialized topic. It could be broadcast all over the world, but only people who watch the show will play it, right? I have never even heard of it, so even if it is shown here, I wouldn't know any answers. :-)

Wow, almost a year in top spot, 3 different quizzes.... CD must be a pretty good author. ;-)

This is an awesome thread you've got going, Nightmare. :-)

Thanks for keeping track of this, Nightmare! It's been neat watching new quizzes enter the list and old ones depart.

Salami, my thanks for the compliment. It's been fun at the top of the list! Congratulations, Gamemaster, for your excellent showing here. Very well done!

*******************************

Sports has a quiz sitting in the top spot for the first time with Dodger-Giant Traitors by Nightmare.

adams627 makes the Top 25 list with five of their own.
Gamemaster1967 and stuthehistoryguy ranks three in the Top 25, and in diffferent categories.
Applause goes to Matthew_07 for making the Top 25 for the first time.

Congratulations to everyone!

Wow! And about time, Nightmare.

Terrific result, and thanks for the great work- there are some pretty impressive names in the other 24 spots, too.

I echo ozzz's sentiments. It IS about time Nightmare had the top quiz. He is a prolific writer for a reason!

Congrats to everyone on the Top 25 list. I can only dream of being there.

A friend of mine asked me the other day if there was a list of the top quizzes. I didn't know but I've read this thread before so off I went to google to find it. Instead I found this link http://www.funtrivia.com/catranks.cfm?cat=1
After 18 months here I no longer consider myself a FT newbie and I thought I pretty much knew where everything was but I've never seen this list before. Have I been completely blinkered as I've wandered around the FT corridors or could this list do with more prominence? Would anyone else be interested in playing their way through the best/most popular quizzes in order to learn more about the world and/or about quiz writing?

I have spent many hours playing my way through the top quizzes in each category - there are some great quizzes there, and it's a good way to learn about some of the categories about which I come to the site knowing very little. I access it through the 'Me' menu - it's under Gold Member features.

What a great list! I have never seen that either, but it is a great starting place for a rainy day when I just want to go quiz crazy!

Thanks looney_tunes for pointing out that the list is available in the drop down menu. I probably should have found that earlier but there's so much to do here that I missed that link. I shall pass it on to my friend who was looking for a list and one day I'll plough through it too. This reminds me of the time I discovered the dial that controlled the dashboard lights in my car... after three years of ownership! I'd never needed it before so I never went looking for it, only to find it by chance one day

I had a friend who lived in a house for four years with the main light in the front room broken. Eventually he decided it was time to get an electrician in to fix it. Sparky took one look at the light, changed the bulb and hey, presto...

Now, now Snowman, I know how to change a light bulb! I didn't need to find the dial to alter the dashboard lights so I never looked for it The big question is how much did the sparky charge to put in a new light bulb?

Seeing as Nightmare is no longer around to do this, I thought I would pick up the baton.

And a special call out for JanIQ who hits the Top 25 for the first time.

Congratulations to everyone!

I'm pleased my "Empedocles" quiz has moved up.

Maybe I should think of other Empedoclean quizzes next year.

But the burning question is: "how many funtrivia editors does it take to change a light bulb?"

Five.
One to put a new bulb in it, one to check it, one to send it back because it's the wrong bulb, one to get the right bulb, the first one to replace it, and another to flick the switch.

You forgot the one who has to move the light bulb from the wrong room into the right room.

Goodness! Who's holding the ladder? That's another one, surely?

Oh, and Terry too to turn the power back on when the bulb blows and knocks out the rest of them.

Thanks, Tizzabelle, for making up the list of top quizzes again!

I think it was Snowman who actually did the work and deserves the praise.

I note it started after my best quiz fell out of the top 25

darksplash Nightmare used to post this list all the time. I can remember him posting it for years.

darksplash, congratulations for getting there at some point. Even if it's not there now, being in the top 25 is quite an amazing achievement!

Hmm
It is a couple of years since I had the Number One quiz on the site.
Hmm
It is a couple of years since I had the Number One quiz on the site.

(I typed that again because I liked the look of it)

I bet it does sound good to say!

Darksplash, I think this list is posted once every quarter, so it doesn't track movements in and out of the Top 25 that occur in between postings.

You'd think I'd be able to read.... Must be all those GC rounds at all hours... Thanks, rossian, for seeting me straight, and thanks, Snowman, for posting the list.

*******************************
adams627 makes the Top 25 list with no fewer than six quizzes. Gamemaster1967, stuthehistoryguy and Pagiedamon feature twice each.

Congrats to all.

There are some fantastic quizzes there! I was wondering if there was some way of featuring them on the home page, to let newcomers see some of the best we have to offer. I know I can see the top some-number-or-other in each category, but it's a Gold Member feature. Featuring the current top 25 could be an inducement to upgrade for more information. This would apply even for those whose favorite categories aren't among the current top-of-the-tops - seeing what is the most appreciated in that category is interesting.

I've just realised I've short-changed stuthehistoryguy. He has three quizzes in the top 25 at the moment. Sorry, Stu!

And it was from a year ago!

The problem with that, Looney, is that they are already played and rated plenty... I have absolutely no idea where on the forums I read this, but it was mentioned that the top quizzes are usually listed first, and thus get even further into the lead... A list of the 25 best quizzes on the site would make players play those quizzes, and probably rate them all excellent, as they are "the best", and those 25 would simply be pushed far beyond reach of any other quiz.

The lower rated quizzes (even sunnies below 10,000) typically are listed on further pages on all the quiz pages, and so they don't get as many plays...

Personally, I do not want to see the top 25 list on the homepage. It would just make the rich richer and the poor poorer, so to speak.

Stu and Adam might not agree, though!

True, they probably wouldn't. :P But they're already at the top, and I look up to them... They've got plenty of recognition.

Good point. I blame New Year over-indulgence.

Perhaps the point dg_dave was trying to make is that it is quite an accomplishment to have a quiz remain on this list for a full year, especially with the numbers of high quality quizzes that have been written over the past while?

As for Adam, he appears to be a quiet, humble, modest (and incredibly talented, of course) man. I doubt that "fame" motivated him to write so many quizzes that ended up getting Editor's Choice awards. But if making him a "poster boy" on the home page DID motivate him?? Well then, most of us would be in major trouble and Snowman might have to increase the NUMBER of quizzes that appear on this list (giggles!).

Boy, I really could go for a tally-up of the Top 25 right now.
(Just to see my name up there. )

Well done all!

I'm a bit behind on this so I'll do an update on April 1 (especially for eburge)

I've just played Stu's "And the band played Waltzing Matilda". Why hasn't it got an ET??? Brilliant quiz!

Ooops I meant EC

Awesome. Thanks Snowman.

Thanks, mate. The 25th is coming up--have one for absent friends.

OK, so it was May not April but eburge still makes the 25!

Me too! This is the first time that one of my quizzes stayed in the top 25 to get itself listed on an update.

Thanks Snowman.
My quiz is now beginning the inevitable descent through the rankings, though I'm absolutely chuffed to have seen it peak at #3 for a week or two.

I'm still baffled that a vg quiz can get that high! Well done, eburge, but I've never even heard of Skyrim.

We need to fix that then, Pam.

Sorry LT for not calling you out. Having enviously noticed your high-rating bus ride quizzes in the past, I'd just assumed that you had made it into lights before. Congrats!

Is it anywhere near Greece, Ethan? I've got a map of Crete and I can't find it on there.

It's nowhere near as warm as Greece. It has a certain Scandiwegian (as Stephen Fry would say) feel to it.

A bit behind schedule but here is the top 25 as of July 1st (that's the only time you'll see me use "as of" on this site)

Missed again... 28th and 30th for me, but can't seem to make the list

I just missed, too. 616.

Haha Salami. I do have a quiz that made it to the top 25 once upon a time. It is currently ranked 250! My highest rated quiz at the moment is sitting at 113 right now.

Often regression to the mean operates with inexorable efficiency. Ten years ago or so I had a quiz in top 25 and now it's at 15,000 + where it seems to have found its level, for the time being at least.

Keeping a quiz in the top 25 (or for that matter in the top 1,000) is quite an achievement.

The top 25 is definitely difficult to stay in. Ethan's Skyrim quiz suffered the same fate.

My highest rated quiz ever was about 300. 5 years later it's still under 3,000. :-P

Hmm, I amaze myself if I write any quiz at all lol. My best ranked quiz is in the 7,500+ somethings. I know exactly why that is, but I'm more than okay with it. I also have two quizzes at OVER 65,000 (which I wish I could rewrite!). In any case, this list is meant for kudos, so it's nice to see several of my favourite authors in the top 25 yet again - congrats to you all! For those who are oh-so-close or who have recently dropped off, am absolutely sure you'll be there (or be there again) in the future : )

Thanks for compiling the list, Snowman!

Doing this a couple of days early as I'm going to be at the Paralympics on the 1st (and the rankings will be the same as they are today).

adams627 is slacking--only four quizzes in the top 25 this time around! stuthehistoryguy has three. jmorrow and kyleisalive are joined on two by WesleyCrusher, who hits the top 25 with the only two new entries this month.

Congratulations, Wesley - no wonder you wanted to make sure this month's list got posted!

What happened to August? I only ask because for the first time ever I had one quiz in there. It's now dropped to 29 so just misses out for the current list!

It's a bi-monthly update (often less due to forgetfulness).

I'll just have to content myself with knowing that I did, once, achieve this then. Of course, the quiz might bounce back up but, with my luck, it would be in the month that doesn't count.

Thanks for your efforts - it was remiss of me not to say that in the previous post.

Nice job with the list. Congrats to all.

I'm not even close... Highest rated is over 600. Someday, I'll be in the top 25 (you know, when I turn into Adams and Stu and write a quiz about Literary Vampires of the Enlightenment Drop-a-Letter. :P

That's been tried before and is ranking somewhere down in the 7500s

Aah, but I liked that quiz, Wes.
