One year ago, We started a quiz to sweeten the pre-christmas time, which was a nice thing to do. As there was 16 questions over 8 weeks, I decided to repeat this, but this time with a daily riddle from 1st to 24th december.
Thanks to kind MSX users, there are also more prices to win. For example game cartridges and a complete Philips 8020 MSX computer.
As I have to do this quiz for my own this year, please be forgiving. It should make a lot of fun for you and me. I also have a job to to, preparations for christmas and a family to care for.
If you got any suggestions to make this a better quiz, please let me know.
Here are the rules:
Points a good thing to messure, let´s use them again!
