Do we have to refresh the page or should new posts appear automatically?

[Dominic]

I will wait a few minutes then explain how the format will run.

[Dominic]

Hi Cactus. That's four of you now.

I shall start by explaining the format. This will take a few minutes, so that will give time for late arrivals to hop on board.

[Lofos-5]

We are here too... (all of Lofos-5)!

In total there will be 15 questions. The first 12 questions are broadly themed on the 12 Days of Christmas. The last three will be general knowledge questions.

You get a point for a correct answer, nothing for a wrong answer.

The only difference to this is the final two general knowledge questions. If nobody gets the correct answer a point will go to whoever is closest.

It is taken as read that you are all honourable and none of you will use Google. All that will show is what a big fat cheat you are.

Bing OK then? - no we won't!

[ApusApus]

Ok, so how do we know when a question is posted unless we refresh the page every minute or so?


Shane

[jagwheels]

Why are we waiting?

[Dominic]

I will post one question at a time, in it's own thread.

You will have a minute to respond to the question with your answer, BY SENDING ME A PM.

Once you have finished the question, return to the Quiz forum and wait for the next question.

If you don't know how to send a PM, please say so now.

I shall be using this website as a timer, so you will all know when I am posting.

https://time.is/

The aim will be to post one question every two minutes, at the start of the minute.

So if we start at 7:15, the next question will be posted at 7:17 etc. You will have to refresh your browser to see the new question.

[Dominic]

We shall start at 7:15

The first question will appear on the quiz forum.
