You know the rules.  A maximum of one minute for each question. 
The show is not my sole source.  And feel free to dispute the 
answers.

1.  In which sport does the winner move backward?
2.  The two denominations of the dollar that are printed more than 
    the rest
3.  the countries which are first and last in the Olympic parade
4.  the sport that exemplifies best the Olympic motto:  "faster,
     higher, stronger"
5.  the originator of this cosmetics company was an ardent admirer
    of Shakespeare, hence the name
6.  the two African countries whose capitals begin with the same

7.  the only member of the Warren Commission (that investigated

Wow. All I can say is, Wow.

Well, not really. How quickly we forget! Meathead was, in fact, played
by Rob Reiner, who went on to a meaningful life directing Spinal Tap and
the Princess Bride, and not Sonny Bono, who went on to a less meaningful
life as mayor of Palm Springs and failed U.S. Senatorial candidate.

Although it does conjure up some interesting images . . .

I agree.

A recent wave of this sort seems to have been an effort to flood
another newsgroup (and possibly this one) with articles, since
the original quiz was cross-posted.

Even so, this sort of thing reminds me of the school textbooks
which have the answers in the back: sure, some kids are going to
do the work and THEN check their answers, but if you know the
answers are back there, you will eventually give in to the temptation
and look.

So basically, they're less fun for everyone...

It certainly does.  There really doesn't seem to be much point in
having a quiz that people can post answers to: due to the way news
article propagate, it's impossible to tell who really knew the answers
and who copied them from another article.   Folks who want to check
their own answers against the "correct" answers don't need to post:
they can simply wait until the answers are posted by the originator
of the quiz.

Look, if you don't want to take the time and trouble to score a quiz
(which isn't much) then either (a) don't post it or (b) just post it,
recommend that people keep their own answers, and then post the
answers in a followup.  Both alternatives keep the clutter to a minimum.

G'day Trivophiles,

      Just thought I'd throw my $0.00 into the discussion (in Australia, the
2 cent coin has been withdrawn from circulation, and things are rounded to the
nearest five cents - hence 2 cents isn't worth anything at the moment).

      I am against quizzes with people posting answers on a couple of grounds;
the newsfeed here is a couple of hours behind and often there are a lot of
answers already being posted. I abhor reading through ten articles with the
same answers repeated. It is also a pain to go through the articles that have
been posted to see whether you can still make a valid contribution to the quiz.

      Now it has been pointed out that collecting, collating and scoring
responses is time-consuming. It is, but I find it also a lot of fun, those who
have entered my often esoteric quizzes tend to have a bit of e-mail chatting
with me before the answers get posted. I think it is a great social activity
(those who now think I should get a life ought to come to Hobart and see why
I spend so much time on the computer (-:).

      "Oh, Laurie 8 you aren't being constructive" I hear you say. I have a
suggestion for RaL aNd TuN (apart from using normal capitalisation like other
people) and the others who are putting up "postable" lyrics quizzes... how
about posting the questions, and asking for email responses - but don't collate
and score, just each day or so post which questions are still left unanswered.
If the group as a whole cannot get a trivia question within a week, be pleased
you have stumped us (or chosen a quote from an obscure 70s glam album).

      Well, that's the week off to a start.
