    Would we have enough interest in this..?What I was thinking is 15 questions to be answered in 10 min (this to try and cut down on the google cheats.)Questions posted up at say 20:00 and answers sent to me by PM,anything not received in my PM box by 8:10 will be disqualified.

    We could run 2/3 rounds and I am sure would could have a winner.Should only take an hour.

    Post here is you would be interested.If it takes off we could have a different quiz master every week.

    I was just thinking out loud again,not set on any time or day.But I think it could be a good idea especially to have a different quiz master every week,that would put a nice slant on it.

    How far back are these questions going exactly. Are we talking 60's, 70's and 80's aswell as present day ?

    Ah come now brother you didnt actually expect anyone to believe that you could tell in the first place. Best thing to do is check all the questions beforehand against Wiki which is going to be most persons first port of call via Google or Yahoo and simply change the questions which have the answers easily and quickly found. Just a suggestion to even things up.
