Thought about using excel but was hoping someone had been down this path, or one similar, and had found a cool program to do this.	kwaka (10149)

Have helped provide questions for some rural fund-raisers) What age range are the kids? Divided into what size groups? Arbitrarily. or choose their own members? 50 questions sounds a lot before marking... for them to see how they're scoring versus others. The competitive instinct is usually what makes it fun. How many questions altogether on the night? Are they divided into categories or all general knowledge? (And if you don't want to be quizzed yourself, just ignore this)	Laura (43)

Then fill in the fields with the results as the quiz progresses. You may want to turn off the projector while you update the results so that they only see the complete update each time and as not as you fill in each line.	Jen (38)
