So just for fun here is a feature on the new board. It is a BVI Trivia game!
Read the question and when you think you know the answer click on the content button.

Please do not post the answers it will spoil other folks fun.
Please post your total score and the number of the question(s) that got you!

If you score:
80 points and above you are an Old Timer
40 to 79 points – you must be a Cruiser
Less than 40 – it is time to book a vacation!

Have Fun!

1) 10 points
( George and Marie Myrick are known for building and opening Sand Castle Hotel and the Soggy Dollar bar, but on what island did they build their first hotel?)
- Little Thatch


2) 10 points
( Built on reclaimed land in Road Town, in what year did the Cruise Ship Pier open for business?)
– 1994


3) It is a picture question!!!! 20 Points

8) It is a picture question!!!! 20 Points (I should note that I did not take this shot. It was posted on TTOL many moons ago by Big Jim or Manpot… I do not remember)
( So who most likely would have served you at this beach bar back in the day?)
- Gertrude, but it was a honor bar so “Yourself” is also acceptable

I got 80. I missed the ferry name and for some reason, I was thinking of the date of the cruise pier expansion and pier park.

Nice Tom!
But folks need to comprehend and respond correctly to your procedure!
READ twice before posting, No answers...just scores!
50-points, 4Q. But I still need to come back.

You guys are doing great with the quiz.
To put a quiz together is not that hard, if you want to do one.
Usually what I do is prepare the quiz in word and then cut and paste them into the editor. I do trip reports the same way. It just seems easier to me offline.

Here is feature command you have to use: (I added a red X so you can read the command structure so of course if try it remove the red x)

[XSPOILER=You type in question here?] Type answer here [/SPOILER]

When it appears as a thread (with the X removed) it will look like this.

(You type in question here?)
Type answer here
