The August quiz is closed, and I think that everyone can agree it was by far our most difficult quiz ever. Out of the 154 who attempted the quiz, a mere 24 made it into the winners list, and for the first month ever, no one was able to claim the title of First Place winner. So a huge round of applause to everyone who actually got on the list for last month!

But we thought that we would go a little easier on everyone this time around, so the new September edition of the Coaster Quiz is up, and we might wait a few months before going for another one like August.

[Devin Olson]

Thanks for pointing out the typo, Trev32; we'll correct that.

It looks like the failing rate is way down this month

i have a question, how come you can only take the quiz once a month??? it should be like once a week or somthing.

[CoasterBGW]

The quiz is only updated once a month.

Certainly if we got some good question submitted we could probably think about doing it bi-monthly I guess. I don't think it would be too hard if we got a heavy influx of good questions.

Congratulations to everyone who took our September Coaster Quiz and made the winners' list! In all, we had a good fifty more winners last month than August, when the improved Quiz went online. For September, we had two first place winners: Redjag, and Vater. Great job guys!
October's Quiz has gone up with eight new questions to challenge your knowledge, and be forewarned, it's another tough round this month. If turnout is up again this month, we may be making some changes for the better in November.

YEA! Sorry I just love these quizes. If only I could crack the code.

[CoasterBGW]

Impossible to crack the code to get the answers... now all I need to do is find some time to add the little line of code so people don't enter blank usernames... if I only had 5 minutes of free time

[Trev32]

I have a suggestion for the future quizzes, maybe you guys should tell the ppl the ones they got right at the end of the quiz, there woudlent' be a point, but i'm always curious on which ones i got right.


I only got 4th this month

[CoasterBGW]

Then that would encourage cheating The answers will not be revealed to the end of the month to prevent one person from taking it then passing the answers on to someone else.

[MIA]

NO, not crakc the code that way. I mean make my own quiz. I figured part of it out.

[CoasterBGW]

I sent you the code You just need to make the necessary database access changes and upload.

[MIA]

Yeah, if only it was that easy adn I was apro with this. You must not know I am fresh. i figured out some of the HTML stuff for the quiz and got most of it up. So im well on my way.

[Trev32]

^I guess you can do that, there isn't any rules against it.



Plus nobody will find out!

Our October Coaster Quiz will be ending this weekend, and we congratulate all 65 winners so far! However, we still don't have any winners in the first place position, which goes to show just how tough it was this time around.

If the participation for this or November's quiz exceeds 200 before the close, we will be doubling the amount of quizzes by running them bi-monthly as opposed to once a month. So if you haven't checked out our current Coaster Quiz yet, be sure to test your knowledge now!

[Devin Olson]

The November, 2004 edition of our Coaster Quiz has gone online along with the answers to the October quiz, which we ended up having no first place winner to, but 76 winners for the other four places out of the 179 who took it.

Over the past three months, we've gone from 24 winners and 154 participants to the current, and if atleast 200 take part in our November quiz, we will be doubling the frequency of new quizzes as previously mentioned.

Good luck to everyone on the Coaster Quiz this month!

[Trev32]

Awsome!! i got 3rd place this time around!

[Devin Olson]

Congratulations Trev... Now we'll have to see if we have any first place winners this month!
