Below are a series of timed quizzes concerning to geography, history, or anything of the like. Take whichever ones you want, and post your score(s) in the comments! What medal you earn depends on how well your score was, and the person with the most gold medals within a week or so is the champion. I trust nobody will cheat (even though, since I can't stop you from cheating, they'll probably still be people who cheat so...). All the quizzes are separated into different categories; pick whichever ones you want to take at your leisure. All quizzes are from, and copyright too, one of my favourite websites of all time, Sporcle. Let the games begin!
