Sorry ozzz, I'm not sure of the answer but I'll move this down to the Quizzyland forum and perhaps one of the editors or another quizmaker may be able to help.

Nice to see another Aussie! .... now off to see how much I know about Australian stamps ...

ozzz, the only stats available for each quiz are the % who got each question right, how many players have played the quiz, its ranking (out 23k odd), and it's difficulty rating out of 100

...and while we're on the subject... The quiz I created a couple of weeks ago remains unranked even though it has been played more times than some ranked quizzes. Does this mean that it is rubbish?

No, it means that there's something going on with the algorithm that's ranking the quizzes. Doesn't mean your quiz is "rubbish" at all!

Terry, do you have the more technical explanation of why this happens?
