In summary, engaging quiz questions capture the reader's attention by being interesting, relevant, and challenging. When choosing a topic, consider the audience and their interests, as well as your own expertise and the purpose of the quiz. The number of answer choices should generally be 3-5 to give a fair chance of guessing the correct answer. Including images or multimedia can enhance the visual appeal and engagement of the questions, but it's not necessary for every question. To ensure fairness and avoid bias, use neutral language and avoid stereotypes, and have someone else review the questions for a different perspective.

You can post any kind of questions you'd like! :smile:

We don't generally like to give out the answers right away, just because we feel you'll learn more if we guide you to the answer -- rather than just putting it in your hands.

Yes, you can definitely post True or False questions or multiple choice questions as long as the answer is not explicitly given away. In order to keep the quiz engaging, it is important to make sure that the questions are not too easy or too difficult. This can be achieved by providing plausible distractors for the multiple choice questions and ensuring that the True or False statements are not too obvious. Additionally, you can also include hints or explanations after each question to provide further context and make the quiz more educational. Overall, the key is to strike a balance between challenging and informative questions to keep the audience engaged.
