Done gone done made a quiz
Behold. 9 rounds covering 9 different topics (well, okay, 8 topics plus general knowledge). Feel free to have a go but don't post answers publicly- I'll be happy to verify anything privately.
7MB so may take a while on primitive connections.

Here's the extended edition director's cut with commentary and extra rounds. Here's the pdf especially for Gevin- http://www.nebagram.co.uk/quizxmas/quizdirectorscut.pdf - but that doesn't have either of the music files in it.
Edit: Also, as it's now after Christmas (well, near enough), there's no longer a moratorium on sharing answers/tips.

Re: Done gone done made a quiz
The 2016 edition of the quiz is in production as we speak. The basic version (which I completed last night) currently weighs in at 21 pages and the pdf is about 1.5MB. The extended version will be a bit longer and will contain audio files (which I'll probably just link to on YouTube). Then there'll be a director's cut, and an extended version of the director's cut. Some rounds might require card, scissors and glue.
The folder on my computer where I've saved all the raw data/research files for the quiz currently weighs in at 1.2 gigabytes.

Re: Done gone done made a quiz
Answers will come once I've finished compiling them, which will probably be around the new year.

Re: Done gone done made a quiz
Turns out it took me just about 11 months to finish it. And I only got it done with 26 hours to spare. But here it is! Enjoy, everyone. Someone. One person? Maybe? Please?

Re: Done gone done made a quiz
In case no one saw it on Facebook here's another one I made. Shorter in scope this time, it's 175 cryptic (ish) clues, the answers to all of which are TV shows.
Re: Done gone done made a quiz
Nice. 3 2 1 took me much longer than it should have!

Re: Done gone done made a quiz
It took me a moment to realise that if the programme's name begins with "A" or "The", you have to omit it. It would be better if you'd programmed it to accept it either with or without the article where applicable.

Re: Done gone done made a quiz
A 2022 edition of the quizzes I wrote between 2014-2017 will be incoming in the next few weeks, once I've written it. In an uncharacteristic move from me, though, I have actually not just started, but made decent progress on it so I might have it done before Christmas! In the meantime, here's a compilation of all my previous ones from 2014-2017- https://www.dropbox.com/s/0te2c3tmkmxx5 ... x.zip?dl=0
And in pdf form for Gevin- https://www.dropbox.com/s/qxam17490do3i ... f.zip?dl=0
Answers available on request for anyone who wants them, assuming anyone actually downloads the files.

Re: Done gone done made a quiz
Annnnnnnnnd it's done. Recycled a few rounds from the 2017 edition but as it's been five years and nobody did that quiz anyway, I doubt it'll matter much. Quiz can be downloaded here for the full .docx version or here if you're Gevin and you need a pdf (this version doesn't include the audio files though).

Re: Done gone done made a quiz
Thanks for the quiz, Ben. I've had a skim through and enjoyed it, not done the audio rounds yet. I like the answers leading to the questions in the final forty, that's a nice twist.Ben Wilson wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 11:38 pm Annnnnnnnnd it's done.
