Quiz set by Pi zero.
Alas, the temptation to write a quiz based entirely on articles with OR in them was too much to resist, but it's actually my first time setting a quiz, and I'm afraid I haven't got my balance yet on varying the difficulty of the questions. Sorry about that. :-)  --Pi zero (talk) 12:36, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Some guidelines [edit]

There are no strict rules for what can be included in the quiz and what not, but here are some tips:

  • The title of the quiz is "World News Quiz". Try to include news that is relevant for an international audience, and that has some international importance.
  • Related to that, try to balance the questions so that no single continent or topic (like politics) dominates the news.
  • News from neglected places (like Africa) or on neglected topics (like Health) can be favoured.
  • Try to put easy questions first and hard ones at the bottom.
  • Look for images to match with the questions, and leave some space between the questions with images.
  • A good quiz is one were nobody scores 10/10 and nobody scores 0/10; try to make it fun for everyone.
