I recently posted a questions to the Joez ( 7 friends ) :
A rich asian family consisting of:
1) Grandfather and Grandmother
2) Father and Mother
3) Son ( 20 ~ 30 yrs old ) and Daughter ( 20 ~ 25 yrs old )
4) 2 Drivers will be assigned for the family
5) They have enough space to keep vehicles
The family wants to purchase 8 cars/vehicles for the family.
As at today, what would you recommend for the entire family and why?
=============================================================
I received excellent answers, all of which are posted here: Answers to Quiz by the Joez. We then got together and voted for the top 3. The results in detail are available here. Voting was done via a spreadsheet on Google Docs. It was totally cool. We chatted online while viewing the document and discussed various aspects of the quiz. Web 2.0 Totally Rocks ! 🙂 This is certainly the future of the internet.

Where is this going ?
We are thinking that every week, someone ( every joe takes turn ) posts a questions ( creativity encouraged ) like this and moderates the quiz in his/her own way. Moderator is given full responsibility to conduct the session for the week.
Why do this?
Enhances creativity with creative questions.
We get to do research.
Get to learn more on different topics – diversify.
Interesting.
Share knowledge.
Does not take too much of time – easy to moderate.
There are 7 of us, we moderate only once in 7 weeks.
Keeps friends connected.
etc.
What are the rules?
1) MODERATOR for the week decides EVERYTHING.
2) If MODERATOR cannot do it this week, he can pass on and take up next week
( but not much of work really )
3) Maybe post question on Mon/Tuesday and wrap up the session by *EOW ( .5 )
* EOW – End of Week ( .5 = Friday )
Considerations:
1) MODERATOR will try not to make the question too difficult.
2) etc.
TRUTH ROCKS !
