At last, I will be able to win (elimination of Dawn, Sparten and Praetor will follow quickly in the name of the Almighty Platypus).

Make sure to reserve some time for the Quiz next weekend.
Everyone can participate.
It will be a light summer quiz with fewer questions than usual

OK that is unfortunate. You should be able to rack up a few points in the time you have though

Only a couple of hours - start excercising the small grey cells.
Remember - everyone can participate, and the more the merrier.

Another score update, and Justinian has shot up to first place! We're only 12 hours in so there is plenty of time to go. Good work, all!

Good job everyone.
A little clarification:
Question number 5 is a double question which demands the answer in a certain way.
"What was the Thai system of grading people's importance and worth called? When did it begin and end?"
So we are asking for a name, and two time marks - the century in which it began and an exact year where it ended.

Scores have again been updated. Not too many changes to the scoreboard, but we'll see what happens as the day progresses.

One of the questions looks like one I suggested a long time ago. Is that why I wasn't given a point?
(Meanwhile I've submitted the answer again)

Yes - you are the author of that question so no regular point, but - you will receive bonus for the question (special formular) after the round is finished.

Gcle - I forgot to mention that if the question is not answered in the first round, it will continue to the second round and the bonus points will be rewarded after that.
