I've yet to author any quizzes, but I believe the rules state you have to be a member for at least one month (should be six IMO). A little advice though - work on your capitalization and punctuation if you want to be successful. If your post is any indication of what your quiz will look like, you won't have a chance.

Welcome aboard!

I'll agree (100%) with what wayman said. Authoring quizzes is not as easy as it sounds --- and grammar details matter (a lot). Welcome! And get your feet wet about what the site's about here in The Forums, OK? I hope you do, and I mean that. Great new quizzes are just but a "you" away. Look around, learn your way? And you'll be good. I also can't wait to play one of your eventual quizzes, too !

Welcome from Australia.
There are some really good quizzes about how to write a quiz - it is a good idea to work your way through those, also to do a lot of quizzes in the category you hope to write your first quiz in - that way, there is less chance of you duplicating what someone else has already written.
Have fun !

I think the one month rule was relaxed quite some time ago.

See this page for requirements for quiz-making. You must first get your "degree" from Quiziversity, and then, depending on the category, you must have already played from 20-75 quizzes. One category, Brain Teasers, is closed to new quiz-makers.

An editor could chime in on how up-to-date that page may be.

That page is accurate but the requirements per category are not set in stone. Some days, brain teasers will be in the light traffic section and accept quizzes from all-comers, whereas other categories may be restricted to new quiz-makers from time to time.
