Needing to write a routine to score a multiple choice quiz based on score, time and number playing. Something like the scoring used in the Funtrivia site. Does anyone know the formula they use?

The main two factors will be correct answers out of 10 and the time taken, which will produce a score. From this score points will be awarded to the player depending on the number playing. If only 1 playing they get 1 point if 30 playing then the top scorer gets 30 points.

The time is there to ensure no Googling, i.e. 10/10 in 500 secs will score lower than 5/10 in 50 secs.
 
Bit of a hard one, certainly got me stumped.

On a related subject, anyone got sources to buy large quantities of trivia questions in a digital form? The places I've seen so far are either aimed at the pub quiz market, where you print off small quantities of questions or charge a fortune for each batch of 10 questions. I could be doing with them in the thousands.
