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.

Mine is still in the queue, I hope there is nothing really wrong with it or something. Nice quiz on Bhutan though LeoDaVinci! Even though I did really poorly on it... Reply #83. Mar 25 10, 3:19 PM |

Thanks guys. I'm willing to take on another destination, but am unsure what hasn't been taken yet. The more obscure the place, the more willing I am to tackle it. Any suggestions? Reply #85. Mar 26 10, 6:46 AM |

Thank you, Looney_Tunes. I'm glad you enjoyed the quiz. I had fun researching this one. In fact, so much so that, come August, we are heading to the Delta to see it first hand. Reply #88. Mar 27 10, 2:28 AM |

I was thinking about doing Lesotho after I finish Uganda, but I don't think I'll have the time... :-( Reply #93. Mar 27 10, 12:28 PM |

Liechtenstein already has a newly created quiz by amank2: http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/Lets-Visit-Liechtenstein-266336.html Info is a bit on the brief side, but the quiz otherwise looks okay. Reply #96. Mar 27 10, 7:00 PM |

Barbados is submitted. Without the cricket question, for which I couldn't find room in 10 questions. Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Frank Worrell, Sir Clyde Walcott and Joel Garner (where's HIS knighthood, one might ask) will have to wait for another time. Reply #97. Mar 28 10, 1:34 AM |

If nobody takes dibs on it can I do Maldives? It takes me about a week to get a quiz together if that is alright? Reply #99. Mar 28 10, 1:55 AM |
