Haha...I was going through my old, old files and ran into this program that I had written a few years ago... I was amazed it still worked...apparently the database it connects to is still there!! :-D

I thought people might want to try running it and test their knowledge about Nepal! It's got over a hundred questions about Nepal...

- http://www.cs.niu.edu/~deepak/software/nepalquiz/binaries/QuizNepal.exe

Click on it and select 'Run'... It is a very small program and should download in seconds...

Take the quiz and post your score in x/y format: like 3/10. (that's my score, btw)

Given that I took Geography in Class 10, I should have got all correct. But not all questions were pro-geography though :) I liked the idea of giving more points to difficult questions

sujanks,

There may be errors. Thanks for the corrections.

"Echoes uncle, how long did it take you to make this quiz up??" --nails

I didn't make most of the quizzes myself. Other people made those. I simply wrote another piece of software that they could use to make the quizzes. Umm...it must have taken a few days to write all necessary software...Don't remember exactly... It was apparently almost 3 years ago...

"I have 1000 odd questions that I had made long ago in my aspiration to form nepali trivia... ...But I guess we can make this work again, and sujanKS can be a critic to keep track of any anomalies..." -- oys_chill

Sure. As we discussed last night, if you can take a lead and come up with a project charter document and assign specific roles to various people, I will be happy to take a secondary role... e.g. by either giving you the source-code of this software or by writing new software to meet your needs. I just don't have time to lead a new project, but am certainly willing to help in whatever way I can. Any other people interested in oys's initiative?

Yeah, great seeing you last night... Did you create a sajha login for our friend yet? If you did, let me know what it is hai ta...

Thanks guys. Have a nice weekend.

:) :)

Ok, here is a nice trivia for you guys on history of Nepal. Name the king who lived the longest. he started his reign when he was 3. he could only rule until he was 34 and died when he was 68, the same year after a few months, his son also passed away, who overthrew his father at the age of 18 to rule the country.

Hint: One of his queen had an affair with his millitary chief.
