25-09-2007 For the last few months I have been creating a very large Derby Photographic Quiz to see how observant people are about everything in Derby. I have just launched this new quiz, At the moment there are 300 photographs in the quiz and 423 questions about the photos.
Each question has an answer button but also there is a clue button, so if you are struggling to answer any question then see if the clues help you. The answer and clue windows open in little popup windows that close them selves after 20 seconds so you don’t have to.
The questions are shown five at a time and you progress to the next five using the Next/Previous links at the bottom of every page. My new massive photographic quiz in online now here :

www.derbyphotos.co.uk/quiz/derby

Why not give it a go and see what you think. I’m sure you will learn something from some of the answers that you did not know before. If you enjoyed the quiz then please let us know by leaving a guestbook comment. I intend to keep adding to this quiz over time with even more photos and questions.
