I was wondering if I could join this group and post quiz questions to you all please?
I quiz family and friends, and occasionally provide questions to the local pub so have kept a running spreadsheet of questions and came across this group yesterday and wondered if i could share them with you (I dont know my way around this yet, so please bear with me :) )
So if you'd like to join in, that would be great!

2 In which building might you encounter the Dewey Decimal System?
3 Which artist was voted Best Act Ever at the 2008 EMAs?
4 Which of the Harry Potter books is the longest?
5 Rosencrantz is a character from which Shakespeare play?
6 What does the word Crestfallen mean?
7 The New Deal was implemented by which US president?
8 In which US state would you find the 8km Mackinac Bridge?

Sure. Welcome!

You did not say how you wanted the answers, so I assume that you want us
to post them to the newsgroup. And I assume that we must not use any
sources or other aid.

It makes the eye want to skip over the answers. You could use a
layout similar to what Calvin and I do.

I'd up to you, but I'd expect to be scored as wrong.
People also like, I think, to see which questions they were marked as
correct on. I use one format for that; Calvin uses another.
Thanks for running the quiz.
