Subject: Quiz-O-Meter 5 - COMPLETE

Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Mar 29 20

Tacked to the wall in this corner of the Author Lounge is a ten-step meter. Someone has placed a sign beneath it. Judging by challenges of this type in the past, all we need to do is fill it up to the top, but how do we do that?

So, given Kyle's blatant direction (since we're all being quite obtuse about this clue), here is a rundown of the first Quiz-o-Meter

(I'm thinking maybe the '-o-' in our current clue points to the original?)

Quiz-o-Meter #1 (the original)

1-5 were non-food Hobbies quizzes (the third being a challenge title). pretty straightforward.
6 and 7 simply needed to be about Africa in any sense.
8 Just required a quiz in Humanities beginning with 'O'.
9 Required the title to contain 'Hearts', 'Diamonds', 'Spades', or 'Clubs'.
10 needed that full title (The Cherry on Top).

Thanks, reedy, I couldn't find it.

We've tried lots of Os. Hasn't anybody submitted a Humanities quiz beginning with O? If not, go for it! I submitted a quiz for Adventures in Authoring a moment ago, so will be tied up in the queue for at least a few days. Besides, zilch ideas for O Humanities quizzes are coming to me. At this point I'd be happy if *anybody* got it.

I really thought I was on to something with "Quick Quiz". :(

Just got an idea for a title and which subcategory to put it in, but absolutely no idea whatsoever what to do with it. *shrug* Like I say, go for it!

Nix that. I wish it were possible to delete replies. I actually have a quiz that is finished except for the dratted extra info, and quite by accident I found the perfect Humanities subcategory to put it in. So, on the off chance nobody gets it for a few days... Who am I kidding? reedy or Rossian or somebody'll get it. Oh well. This quiz of mine needs to get finished anyway. Wish I'd looked here before submitting my AIA quiz. :(

Nope. The meter remains unmoving.

Well, I am really at a loss.

For the first Quiz-o-Meter, the recap doesn't actually say what the clues were, so I can't find a direction that was similar to the current one (as per Kyle's clue)

I guess, try the next one (Humanities, starting with 'O')?

Or Africa (that's actually the next one)

The other Quiz-o-Meter recaps don't seem to have anything similar to the current clue, either:

#2

1 - A music quiz
2 and 3 - Any quiz where the title began with Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, Li, or Ti
4 - A Video Games quiz
5 - Any Author Challenge
6 - A quiz where the first letters of each word in the title began with B, Y, O, then B.
7 - A quiz with a number in the title
8 - A quiz with 'Body' or 'Language' in the title
9 and 10 - A quiz with 'King' or 'Queen' in the title, not in the People category; the one not selected for the first quiz would be used for the second quiz.

#3

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.]

#4

1-7 - Required quizzes whose titles began with the letters as appearing on the staff of a treble clef from the top line downward (F, E, D, C, B, A, G)
8-9 - One quiz required 'Rock' in the title, one required 'Roll'
10 - Any quiz in the Music category

Probably won't work, but here's another attempt with a Humanities quiz.

Well, it turned out to be a better fit in Brain Teasers, but I'll post it here just in case.

Still a bit stunned that "Quick Quiz" didn't make it. I was sooo sure that was the answer. The Quizometer certainly is enigmatic.

Sorry-- neither are a fit.

I've got a quiz in the queue that I believe may work this time. *Fingers crossed*
