    Default Australia V New-Zealand Quiz Nite

    Hi, Trying to get some feed back here in regards to a Quiz Nite for us members down under..I thought perhaps something along the lines of Australia V New-Zealand might be the way to go or a similar quiz to the one our UK members just had..We would also have to think about a someone for Quiz Master.. Just a thought for the time being to see if we can get enough players..


    Suggestions welcome..

    I would be interested, though be warned - I am terminally absent-minded and my internet connection is less than reliable (I live rurally and my signal wanders in and out). A quiz in the evenings (our time) should not require someone over there to stay up too late. I do try to participate in quizzes on another forum, but as they are held at night (UK time) I usually do not have enough caffeine in me to get through the typing, let alone remembering the answers, lol.

    I find it difficult to keep track of the time difference, frankly. But suffice to say I am posting this at 7:54pm. so the post-time should register what it is your time ... I am in Tasmania - the Eastern States, apart from Queensland are currently on daylight savings. New Zealand is 2 hours later at night.

    According to my little world clock - WA (centre of Australia despite the fact it's in the West!) is 8.34 pm at present. London is 12.34 pm (8 hours behind us), Sydney 11.34 pm (3 hours head of us), New Zealand is 1.34 am (7 hours ahead of us) New York 7.34 am (13 hours behind us)!

    Now you can site and work it all out - and sorry if I've missed some areas but the time has now changed to 8.39pm so if I include any more I shall be behind myself!!!

    A great idea, although the time difference from WA to NZ is just over 5hrs.
    I would love to participate, but my very slow dial up would be toooooo frustrating for my "oh so slightly competitive" nature.
    Good luck to those who have broadband and can make it.
    Have a lovely night.

    Glen,sorry to hear you can,t make it but do agree the Dial up & / or Internet speeds from down-under are
    a lot slower than Uk/ N,America & Euro, so may impede our cuzzies down under doing the Quiz,

    Victoria, north Melbourne to Bendigo-Shepparton area(s) ooh!, usually slow & non existant in bad weather times.
    Sydneysiders & Tazzies systems i beleive are a lot better, so good luck to all..
    Cheers JohnY
