Subject: Bus Ride Renewal Challenge
Posted by: Terry
Date: Mar 16 10
While the replacement of low-ranked quizzes is a continuing goal, preparation of extra quizzes to introduce variety for the tourists is also important now that the Bus Ride is well-established. Some tourists have been around the world over ten times, and even nice quizzes get repetitive. The lowest-ranked quiz currently used for the tour has a ranking that is roughly in the top third of all quizzes, so replacement is not an urgent matter, but we would still like to have new quizzes of a suitable quality to use as replacements, to provide a bit of diversity for those players who have played every day since the beginning, and who have probably memorised the answers to the current quizzes.
If you create a new quiz on a Bus Ride country, get it placed online, and have it place within a reasonable ranking, it may be rotated in to provide a more diverse program. Should your quiz manage a higher ranking than the current entry, it could become the permanent fixture, waiting for a future challenger. As an added bonus, we have modified the ratings system to give all quizzes in our rotation a ratings bump.
Feel free to use this thread to also "claim" a country so that you don't duplicate someone else's effort, and make sure to follow along with our later posts and updates to make sure that everything is in order. We look forward to seeing what you can come up with!
This link will show you what the ranking is for each of our current country quizzes.

I'll take Kiribati, since I already did the Marshall Islands and the "taxi" one I have a load of notes on that part of the world already. I'll start with Kiribati and see where's left for the Island Nations after I'm done. Reply #41. Mar 17 10, 2:06 AM |

I'll try Turkey (47226). Actually, I've been there, but if I tell you how long ago it was, you'll figure out how old I am. (Okay, it was 40 years ago.) Janet Reply #42. Mar 17 10, 9:22 AM |

Wow, you've been to Turkey, huh? That would be so exciting! I've only been to the US and the Bahamas. I would love to visit all 195 countries, though. ;-) Reply #44. Mar 17 10, 9:33 AM |

I will take Eritrea because of my 4 previous African quizzes. For record, Kosovo=Yes, French Guinea=No, Western Sahara=No The four missing countries are Democratic Republic of Congo, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, and one more. The DRC already has its own quiz, though. Really this 'new quiz for each country' was my idea in the first place. But I decided to just reach the goal of 'one quiz on every country'. Now you guys have taken my goal and made it so much better! Reply #48. Mar 18 10, 4:46 AM |

JoJanne 1974: Canada is on the last near the bottom. That quiz was placed online in early 2007 so does not need replacing. Reply #49. Mar 18 10, 5:59 AM |

"The four missing countries are Democratic Republic of Congo, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, and one more. The DRC already has its own quiz, though" I had the same list GOW, with the one more being Morocco. Reply #50. Mar 18 10, 7:47 AM |

Thanks Redwall. I don't mind having a crack at Palau next unless anyone else is working on it. Reply #58. Mar 20 10, 4:07 AM |

Having said that, I notice that the author of the current quiz on Palau is still active on the site. Do we know why that quiz is offline? Reply #59. Mar 20 10, 8:27 AM |
