Awesome how you can manage create so many quizz. How much time did you need for that?
I’ve been doing this since May. Some quizzes take longer to create than others, but usually about 30 to 40 minutes. I’d like to see some more quizzes from you 😉
great idea something special
You have great organizational skills Norman, do you give lessons. lol
Oh, Kim! If you only knew what a huge struggle it is for me to be anything even resembling organised! It is only by doing this sort of thing that I keep the chaos relatively at bay 🙂
Awesome quizzes, great idea to list them all in an easy to find format.
Awesome! I’m curious to see #100, it must be a special one!
Indeed! But see my exchange with riverwild below 🙂
Great idea to share this list! I’ll have to go through and checked out what I have missed!
I think you’ve done pretty well in playing all my quizzes, certainly recently!
You have been a very busy man. Great organizational skills.
Thank you, but I wouldn’t like to take it all on at once! I keep a post in drafts, which I add to as I go along, and then publish at the end of each month ☺
this is a great idea for having a table of contents for your variety of quizzes…Well done Norman 🙂
Thank you Trafalgar – I recommend it!
You’re very much welcome 🙂
Lovely…..i did one quizz…its was not bad ……keep up the good posting
Absolutely love your quizzes, Norman! You’re a genius!
Flattery will get you everywhere, Gina ????
You are the King of the Quiz in Virily. There must be a medal for you. Successful New Week
I wish you the same, Elenka! I have plenty of owls- they will do fine as stand-ins for a medal 🙂
Wow, all in one.I like how you organize your quizzes. I’m inspired. Thinking of doing the same. Lol
You should definitely do it, Cassy. It definitely raises views, plus it’s very handy, even for myself, in finding stuff.
Do you have something special planned for number 100?
I should, shouldn’t i? Actually, 99 is ‘figurative’ – I think there’s about 96 here but I keep losing count 🙂
I counted 103, but I could be wrong
Sure when was counting ever an exact science? ?
