Subject: The Quiz and Crossword Contracts
Posted by: WesleyCrusher
Date: May 01 19
Sometimes a throwaway joke can inspire an idea. When explaining to a newer author how to best deal with challenge requirements in the edit process I mentioned, jokingly, that they had only become an issue since we had tasks like "Write a Fill the Blank quiz in a subcategory of Sci/Tech that you have exactly one quiz ranked worse than 50,000 in, featuring the name of a deceased actor from Bhutan in the title, using all 26 letters in the alphabet in each question and writing the info in limerick form". Then, about 20 minutes later, I was struck by the realization that, if this task were posted in the Lounge, someone would probably actually do it, sooner or later.
And that means we can make a game out of it, right?
So let's get creative - both in setting tasks and in solving them. Here are the current ten tasks:
Contract #312 - 22 points: Write a classic style quiz or photo quiz in the History category on the history of any one country that does not already have a history quiz on FT. (by BigTriviaDawg)
Contract #318 - 16 points: Write a quiz for the Sub-Sets Challenge. (by Kyleisalive)
Contract #320 - 14 points: Write a photo quiz about coronations. At least one question must be FITB, and one question 50/50. (by Reedy)
Contract #325 - 9 points: Write a quiz about Adrien Brody. (by VBookWorm)
Contract #328 - 6 points: Write a quiz about a Russian television series of your choice. (by VBookWorm)
Contract #329 - 5 points: Write a classification quiz where the categories are all related to ducks but are not in the animal or science categories. (by Ilona_Ritter)
Contract #330 - 4 points: Write a 15-question quiz with exactly six words in the title, without using the letter 'e' in the title. At least three questions must be FITB, and two T/F-Y/N questions. (by Reedy)
Contract #331 - 3 points: Create a crossword on the history of any country with no more than 20% fillers. (by Sam388)
Contract #332 - 2 points: Write a quiz containing the word 'Pizza' in its title that is exactly 15 questions long and is neither in Food (Hobbies), Sci/Tech, nor World. The quiz can be either a Photo Quiz or a Photo-Match Quiz. (by Ilona_Ritter)
Contract #333 - 1 point: Using COVID-19 as an example, write a quiz about epidemics that changed the course of history. (by 1nn1)
Once you have picked a task and written, please submit it with the entire contract stipulation (including the number) in the note to the editor.
Wait for the quiz to go online, then report it here to claim the contract. If it's good, you'll receive the task's point value for the leaderboard AND you get to set up a new contract, entirely of your choosing. Come up with an evilly convoluted challenge, set up an easy one in the hopes of it being snatched quickly or just use the opportunity to make someone write a quiz about THAT ONE topic you always wanted to play but never got the chance as all nineteen online entries about it are yours... anything goes as long as it is possible. ("Write a match quiz in which every answer is a pangram" would not work - answers that long would not be accepted in the format). You must provide a new contract stipulation in the same post as your claim or the claim is invalid.
Every time a new contract goes up, all others increase in value by one point. Thus, there will always be ten options and after the starting phase in which scores are a bit on the low side, there will be always be a task (the oldest one) worth at least 10, and possibly considerably more if no one has taken it for a while. Thus, the longer a contract sits there (and thus the harder it presumably is to fill), the more lucrative it will become. And at some point, even writing that Sci/Tech quiz named after a dead Bhutanese actor will sound like a really enticing proposition...
You can finish any unfinished quizzes/crosswords to fill a contract, no need to make a new template, as long as the template was never submitted by the time the contract went up. You can't claim your own contracts of course, although authors whose contracts go all too high in value are encouraged to prove that it CAN be done.
There is no reserving in this game - you need to be the first to claim a contract, by actually fulfilling it with a quiz that meets the requirement. There's also no double-dipping - if you submit a quiz, you fill one and only one contract with it (if it qualifies for more than one, you must indicate which one you want - it'll probably be the higher score).
Yes this counts for Pangalactic and while it is probably not the best idea to advertise what you are working on (someone else might feel encouraged to steal it from under your nose), bluffing and other tactics are perfectly legit in this game. The only thing we don't want to see is collusion - so don't post a contract specifically tailored to your best buddy.
As some authors may wish to request clarifications for a contract by personal message (to not immediately alert anyone to the fact they're working on), we ask that anyone who answers such a clarification request post the answer to the thread as well while preserving anonymity, so that everyone is on the same page regarding a specific task.
Also, importantly, please remember the editors are under no obligation to check your entry for compliance with the task. You will find that most are willing to send it back for fixes if they find an obvious, easily fixed, mismatch, but there are no guarantees. If your entry only almost qualifies and goes online, well, you have a good quiz online and a second opportunity to work on the contract, possibly even for a higher score.
And now have fun!

I have a question about Challenge #313. Is it possible to both choose an author's challenge title AND then have the quiz get an Old is New topic. As far as I can tell once you make a choice to pick either of those two, Quizzyland quickly guides you down a path away from the other. (At least as far as I can tell--I haven't actually chosen either yet because I think these are both choices that you can't undo once you've made them.) Reply #773. Apr 25 23, 12:05 PM |

(by Windrush) My puzzle "European Landmarks" meets these requirements: https://www.funtrivia.com/crossword/play.cfm?gid=10036 New Contract Construct a large symmetric crossword containing at least one word with consecutive double letters for 20 different letters (or more) of the English alphabet. The crossword title must include "double" or a variant of the word, such as "doubling." Please, no two-letter words, Roman numerals or IATA codes. Examples of words with consecutive doubled letters would be: baa, ebbs and occur. While they may exist, my researches have so far been unable to identify any English words containing a double-q or a double-x. Reply #774. Apr 27 23, 11:21 PM |

Re: "I have a question about Challenge #313. Is it possible to both choose an author's challenge title AND then have the quiz get an Old is New topic.

(At least as far as I can tell--I haven't actually chosen either yet because I think these are both choices that you can't undo once you've made them.)" I would suggest taking the title from the Author Challenge list to give it that designation (ie. lock it in). If a quiz goes online in an Old is New subcategory it will remove that subcategory from the OiN list since it tracks the section by date. I would have to presume that's the only way this can count.

Lpez, can you clarify on the Entertainment contract you posted if the answers that have to be all vowels are the categories, themselves or the words that go into the categories that are the answers? Thank you. Reply #776. Apr 29 23, 1:56 PM |

Sorry for the delay, Ilona_Ritter! I think I meant the words that go into the categories, so what you would write in the "Correct Answer" field. Hope this helps and apologies for any confusion! Reply #777. May 03 23, 3:41 PM |

I would like to claim Contract #323: Construct a large symmetric crossword containing at least one word with consecutive double letters for 20 different letters (or more) of the English alphabet. The crossword title must include "double" or a variant of the word, such as "doubling." Please, no two-letter words, Roman numerals or IATA codes. (by Psnz) https://www.funtrivia.com/crossword/play.cfm?gid=10053 New Challenge: Construct TWO crosswords, one large and one medium, to submit to the Brain Teasers category. Both puzzles should be in different sub-cats (eg, drop or add a letter, anagrams, cryptic etc) and the titles should reflect that they are a pair. Grids must be symmetrical with no two-letter words, IATA codes or Roman numerals please. Reply #778. May 03 23, 4:32 PM |

I'd like to claim Contract #311 - 14 points: Write a quiz or crossword puzzle that is inspired by the work of another author on FunTrivia. (by Bernie73) https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/literature/emoji-coded-classics-411259.html It was inspired by 1nn1's Wordwise Reboot quiz. If you want the link to that, just ask and I'll send it. Replacement challenge: Write a quiz with your username in the title, not in the Brain Teasers or For Children categories. Reply #779. May 04 23, 10:04 AM |
