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?
