So You Think You Know HNZ?!

[Monty Pendleton]

Do ya? DO YA?!

Well now is your chance to prove it with this trivia quiz!

Here's how it will work:

Because it's HNZ's 11th birthday (wow getting old), the quiz will consist of 11 IC questions and 11 OOC questions. Each day, one new question from each category will be posted here, and you can PM me with your answers! None of the questions require you to have been on the site a super long time - you can find the answers by searching around the board a bit! Having been here a while will give you an advantage for some of them, though.

The rools:
- There will be at least 24 hours between each question, to allow those in different time zones to play.
- Points will be scored as follows:
Each correct answer given on the day the question posted will score 2 points.
Correct answers given after the day is up will still be counted, but only score 1 point. It pays to be quick!
- Please keep your answers under one PM so that my inbox doesn't die! (you might have to look in your archive to find it)
- The first answer you send me for each question is final, so be careful!!
- IC questions are about the IC world and school, and OOC questions are about the board itself.
- The questions might get harder towards the end

The spoils:
The awesomeness of your prize depends on how many questions you answer correctly! The overall winner(s) will also have something fancy of their own
