What!?

It was the Phoenix quiz tonight. As usual when I set a quiz, I worried that my questions would be too easy. As usual, things were a bit on the hard side. One of the harder questions was the following - I suspect my flist might do a bit better with it:

Name the Australian magazine which espouses the following reasons for existing:
• Because not enough humorous SF & Fantasy gets into print
• Because SF can be printed AND entertaining at the same time
• Because it's not the size of the sword, it's where you stick it
• Because too many 'light-hearted, un-serious' stories are rejected
• Because first-time authors have a hell of a time getting into print

Afterwards, there was a bit of discussion about the way a quiz can be used as a way of informing people as well as testing them. I got "that sounds interesting" comments about this question and I know some people took note of the url that I gave them with the answer. More interest than I have ever got from telling people about ASIM actually. So who wants to be in next year's quiz?

With this particular audience, you could pick the cliques just by looking at the team makeups before the quiz started.

You can't do that so much here - there's overlap. ASIM and CSFG, for instance, have common members. Or do I mean members in common? I'll let them answer that :)

Phoenix has a lot of common members too :-)
