It's up. Preemptive answer: Yes, it's legal to work on a contract the second it gets posted with the claim. You don't have to wait for it to be added to the list. Reply #22. May 02 19, 3:27 AM |

That's right; let those high-point quiz-writing contracts float to the top. Reply #26. May 02 19, 3:10 PM |

1nn1, you obviously wanted 80% filled (not black) squares. Fixed in the listing :) Reply #27. May 03 19, 1:14 AM |

My quiz "From Croquet to Racquets: Unique Olympic Events" has gone online. For the next contract, I suggest: Write a quiz title using at least three x's with one of the x's being the first letter of the first word. Reply #30. May 03 19, 4:01 PM |

I am assuming that Contract 15 should read at the start... "Write a quiz "with a" title... Otherwise it will be a s imple matter of recording an Author Challenge title Reply #34. May 05 19, 6:24 PM |

Yes, this might be a bit clearer: Write a quiz with a quiz title that contains at least three x's, including one x as the first letter of the first word. Reply #35. May 05 19, 7:50 PM |

It's really interesting what gets picked and what doesn't - all three of the options I put in the starter kit intended as quick grabs so someone would claim a low score and get things started are still there and gaining value :) Reply #36. May 06 19, 12:53 AM |

I have submitted "Black, Blue, Green, Red, Yellow" in an attempt to win Contract #2. It will be interesting to see with the original contracts that have not yet been claimed what will be the tipping point: 15 points, 20 points, 30 points? Reply #37. May 06 19, 10:28 AM |

My quiz "Black, Blue, Green, Red, Yellow" is online, fulfilling Contract #2, asking for a quiz title with exactly five colors. New quiz contract: Write a quiz in any category. The title of the quiz should be at least 11 characters long and be a palindrome. Reply #38. May 08 19, 5:48 AM |

Might I suggest that players not post here when they have submitted a quiz/crossword for a contract? In my mind, it would be best if you only posted when you have met the stipulations and that quiz/crossword has gone online. We had kind of an awkward situation in the queue in which two quizzes were submitted to get the same contract at the same time. I knew one of the authors had posted here saying they had submitted a quiz for this contract, but the other had not said anything at all. With one author having posted that they had submitted, there could be some confusion/accusations of impropriety if the other author's quiz went online first and "robbed" the author who had posted in this thread. It just so happens that the person who posted in the thread submitted their quiz first, that I was going to edit that quiz first, and that person was likely to get the contract first, but that's not always going to be the case, especially if that first quiz had to have been sent back for corrections, for example. In addition, in this situation, the second author's quiz was actually higher up in the queue due to their previous excellent submissions. To add to this whole confusion, I put off editing both quizzes to deal with single questions, and the other World editor swooped in and put the quiz online! He happened to choose the one I was going to put online first, but he may never have read this thread and could have easily chosen the other quiz first. It puts editors in a tough position if you post here that you have submitted your quiz, which suggests that you have dibs on that contract. You don't, actually, and I would rather not be in the position of seemingly denying someone contract points because their submission was not the first one looked at. I hope this all makes sense.

If anyone wants to reduce their chances, let them :) Just remember that nothing posted in this thread should ever affect the editing process... Also, even if your quiz goes online first, that doesn't mean you'll get the claim in a tight race. If it happens to go online while you're asleep or at work while the other person is available, tough luck. I already figured out that part about "too late" with a recent crossword of mine :) Reply #40. May 08 19, 6:26 AM |
