OJ: Examples from the BBC

I have been on the search again for some more examples of quizzes. After looking at ABC News and USA Today, I thought it was best to look at the good ol' BBC!

These two are quizzes which provide the answers after you have submitted all your answers. They are very factual about specific subjects.

This is similar to ABCNews.com's daily news quiz, but this is a weekly news quiz. Unlike the other two BBC.co.uk examples, this quiz is made by Macromedia Flash. It seems more "interactive" as it has questions which involve using pictures, and even a 'drag and drop' question in the style of a newspaper headline. At the end it does total-up your overall score.

They similarly do this with a "Quiz of the year's news", but with 52 questions, which is made in exactly the same way. This can be accessed at:
