Yes it is a secret...for now !

I have an idea for a fairly long series that will be possibly over 100 quizzes and may take me a couple of years to complete.

Thats all I'm saying at the moment, I don't have the time as yet to start and I don't want someone else doing similar quizzes then it looking like I've copied, or taking away another users ideas

I will probably announce the idea either in my blog post at the end of this series or in its own blog post in the New Year

WATCH THIS SPACE as they say !
