I'm not so sure my idea of minimal information movie quiz is really working out when you give out four answers. Like: - Qale Jun 29, 21:12 12
- "Over-dosed teen does Macarena in grocery store." nm - ralph wiggum Jun 29, 21:31 2

- The harder question would be to have them guess the name of the comic strip. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 21:13 6

    - yeah, I don't get that one. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 21:25 4
      - it's ridiculously obvious if you've seen the film. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 21:26 3
        
        And I think it becomes too obvious once I give the multiple choice too, so maybe my idea's just not great. (the choices are inside) - Qale Jun 29, 21:31 1
        
        yeah, multiple choice doesn't lend itself to that type of quiz. It's hardest when the answers can be mixed up with each other. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 21:35
        
        ah. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 21:26
