New prize matrix under construction

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

We realize the odds were too high before with the big ticket Quizbucks, so we want to start a new system that allows daily and weekly winners to enjoy instant gratification.

We are working on a facebook application as well and would really love to get your input here on how we can improve our service. Tell us what you like and don’t. This site is made to make your time online more fun.

What would happen if those who paid for software directed the development of future versions?

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

With all the software out there thats not being paid for. I would say its only a matter of time before those who actually pay for it get to say whats going on in advancing it’s development? The whole pirate life is unfortunate that going out to kill steal and destroy is not going to last so in the end the last on the list come to the conclusion that being last sucks.

So if they join with those who simply want to create a quality product from an ethical perspective that is best for everyone. So the last become the first and the first get left behind and have to catch up. Sometimes I think Microsoft is the enemy but what if it becomes our friend because it could go really good or really badly.

So lets Quiz for Cash!

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Lets not forget that if we Quiz for cash its not just about getting us up in the search engines its about using more and more truth online. See popularity almost always fights against truth. Sometimes it might start out as truth but eventually its just so polluted that its like an image in a poor mirror. Its funny how in the end when all you believe are all lies then all you do is spread the gossip and become enslaved to an imaginary reality where you can’t really get out when the back button is so far away. So indeed lets be honest about what we know and test it here! Lets just Quiz for Cash! See you all on the Quiz4cash leaderboard!

New Leaderboard Leader!

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Yes everyone its actually true Ronikus seemed to be the top Quizzer and was there to stay but lxwlq took his spot with an amazing $40605 in Quizbucks. The leaderboard is here to stay but even a secure lead can be beaten. I am realizing that even though he only had 29% right he took so many Quizzes that it more than made up for it. So this means that even he can be beaten by someone a little more quick on the mouse button and smarter to boot!

Anyone else wonder why Gas prices are so high?

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Its just so funny how gas prices keep going up yet people still buy those darn SUVs. I mean lets get this right its not the size of your tank that makes you spend more on gas. Its your efficiency usually measured in miles driven per gallon of gas.

Your MPG can be fairly accurately measured by doing these steps:

1. Choose a gas station with a consistently low price per gallon. Also better gas will get better results over time all around. Shell, Chevron and 76 are pretty good quality.

2. Pull up to a pump on level ground.

3. Assuming your speedometer and odometer works Press the trip counter reset button. (usually a long stem like button by the trip meeter/counter and odometer) it should reset it to all 00000s.

4. Fill your gas tank all the way up until the pump shuts off. This will use the top of the tank to see how much gas you use.

5. Go about your driving as you normally would. Any special driving like off road or steep hills will effect the results so keep this in mind. We usually want to get an average picture of what you spend on gas so if you do anything unusual you might want to try this a few times. Drive until its almost empty but don’t run out of gas.

6. Try and go to the same gas station and the same pump as you used to fill up.

7. Fill your gas tank all the way up until it shuts off but make sure its full as before. Make sure you get a receipt from the pump showing how much gas you got.

8. Now write down the number of miles you drove on that tank of gas from the trip meter like say 278.5 miles.

9. Ok, now use a calculator or the one on your cell phone to divide the miles driven by the number of gallons used like for instance 278.5 รท 20 = 13.925 So the miles per gallon or MPG is 13.925, and thats not very good lol.

Many small cars get 25mph or higher. I used to spend $275 a month on gas in a 17mpg van. So if you drive around alot but do not need a big car, van, or truck make sure you realize you can easily save $100 a month by getting something else. Smaller 4cyl engines help and so does getting a tuneup or sometimes using fuel system cleaners. Try to tune your driving technique also like avoid speeding up just before a stop light. Also slower acceleration helps somewhat. And avoid routes with lots of stops.
