The website gavinrymill.com began in 2000 as a personal
collection of pages about friends and hobbies. The site
branched specifically into dinosaurs and football (
the latter was spun off into its own site) until it
became used for quiz questions.
The result is that gavinrymill.com contains a mixture
of very old pages about different topics, plus new pages
with fresh research (mainly historical) along with the
free quiz questions
and questions for sale.
The main function of certain sections remains to act
as an advert to those Googling related topics, namely
that for the Rymill
Family tree.
The site is currently undergoing a major overhaul and
will be revamped with the new design in stages as time
allows. |
“I ran a pub quiz at my local
pub for about six years and I have decided to put lots
of questions online available to other quizmasters to
reuse. They are broken down into categories for your
ease of use, and should provide enough quiz question
to keep you going for a while. Outside of the pub quiz circuit, I also see a lot of interest in the casino / gambling sector. The connection between my local pub quiz, and the dazzling lights of the casino was something which attracted me to this area of work. Throughout the six years of running the pub quiz, the most popular games were provided by spin palace. These games also seemed to be fairly popular with the pub locals too. Click here to visit spin palace casino, and play on some of their latest games. Their casino games are increasing significantly, and they now feature updated Tomb Raider and Hitman online games.
There are two sections to the site
- the free questions which can be copied and pasted,
and for a small payment, you can buy a quiz pack at
the excellent website at freequizzes.co.uk where there
are loads of pre-prepared packs and categories to make
life easier for you. They have free posters you can
download to advertise in your night, and they have all
sorts of themed quizzes, picture rounds and connections.
Everything you could possibly want to make your quiz
go smoothly.”
"The free quiz questions have been collated from
various sources. It makes life a lot easier to throw
a good quiz night together if you have big lists of
questions available so that's simply what I present
on this site. I used to sell them for a few quid a throw
but there was a lot of hassle involved in managing the
questions, keeping them fresh, ditributing them after
a sale had been made, and worrying about refunds, electronic
deliveries, returns, etc. As I only sold a very small
numer of packs, people would frequently complain that
they had had the same ones before, so in the end I removed
those sales and put the whole system through the affiliate,
so you buyers get the best service for the least hassle."
"In quiz writing it's always hard to get the balance
right. If your quiz questions are too hard then the
contestants won't feel any satisfaction from taking
part. Even teams that win a hard quiz will not come
away feeling happy because they won't have expected
to do well based on the number of questions they got
right and felt confident about answering. They will
come away feeling lucky, not intelligent. Unfortunately
it is also true that if you make and easy quiz then
teams will not feel challenged. If answers come to them
straight away then the teams will write it down quickly
and confidently and move on to talking about something
else. Not always a bad thing as you probably want your
quiz night to be a social event as well as test of the
mind."
