If I've understood your question correctly:
the avge user rating is not calculated by the system until a quiz has been online for 20 days; when it loses its "new" label and its ranking calculated (the site-wide ranking out of 65,000 odd quizzes). See this post by Terry:
New Quiz Rankings Feb 04
I've scrolled through the Newest Quizzes list, and the cut-off pint is still 20 days.
