I started a daily trivia challenge for members of the afterdawn community. It is a free game, simply create an account, login, and play.
The site is spyware and pop-up free.
Each day the trivia will include 10 questions of a random nature within a predecided category. Since this is mostly a video help forum we will start out with Movie Trivia. Each week I will change the category, and will gladly take any suggestions for what the category will be.
http://my.funtrivia.com/tournament/LOCOS-Brain-Twister-46202.html
Click the above link and create an account, bookmark the page and visit daily.
At the end of each month the top 5 scores will be entered into the hall of fame forever and if you are lucky the top scorer will recieve a set of fuzzy dice to hang from the rearview mirror.
EDIT: This is a timed quiz, so the longer it takes you to finish the lower your score will be. Wrong answers count against you as well as the amount of time it takes to complete the quiz...be swift my friends.

#1- Quentin is a man who writes puzzle books. His editor gives him a task for his next book. He must produce 500 puzzles in the space of 80 days. He has created 300 puzzles already. However he has been working slower than normal, producing an average of 15 puzzles for every 4 days. How fast will Quentin have to work now to get the book finished on time?

@Ireland
I don't see the answers on your personal page...
@RoNin
Come back and try again, each day there will be a new quiz and each week the catagory will change.
We need about 25-30 players per day for it to get interesting.

ANSWERS TO ABOVE....QUESTIONS
Quentin is a man who writes puzzle books. His editor gives him a task for his next book. He must produce 500 puzzles in the space of 80 days. He has created 300 puzzles already. However he has been working slower than normal, producing an average of 15 puzzles for every 4 days. How fast will Quentin have to work now to get the book finished on time?
Answer
Quentin will never get the book in on time. He is on his 80th day. If he has been producing 15 puzzles for 4 days then, 15*(80/4)=300.
