Good point on the guess the obscure number ones, will swap them out with some normal questions.

what type of quiz is it?

I am going away this weekend with friends to play golf. Typically we play poker in the evenings. However that isn't normally much fun for whoever gets knocked out first.

This time we are all writing 20 questions each and will have a quiz. There is a one point penalty if you have the same question as someone else and there is a 3 point penalty if your questions are the highest scoring or lowest scoring for everyone else's combined score for your round. (if that makes sense. idea is to prevent anyone making their questions too easy/too hard).
 
These are great guys. Keep them coming. Doing a little more looking around now. Will share any other great questions I find on my quest.
