I have not been following this NG for a very long time, so maybe Pete should
have the first choice, if he wants to do it. I can try to set something up
as well, just a question: is *anything* ok (say: find movies from a made-up
tagline, for example), or should it be a standard quiz?

anything is quite fine, the only rule that everyone seems to adhere to is that there are a limited number of questions and each has usually only 1 correct answer. theme based quizes are good, so finding movies from made-up taglines would be perfectly reasonable.
we do try not to be culturally biased, nor discriminate based on age in either direction, nor be intentionally offensive. we don't always succeed, but we try.

Portugal. Don't tell me Japan -- the Portuguese introduced it to Japan.
The name is a Japanese pronunciation of the Latin word "tempora,"
meaning "times [of the year]," because the Iberians ate fish and
vegetables during Lent.

This quiz is entitled: What I did on my summer vacation. The questions
refer to locations we visited on a 2-week trip from our home outside
Chicago to the East Coast. I will score the quiz on or about August 1.
1. Name any mayor of Chicago other than one of the Daleys or Rahm Emanuel.
2. The recently opened play "Ernie" chronicles the life of former Detroit
Tigers' broadcaster Ernie Harwell. Name any of the other 3 Major League
teams for which Harwell was broadcaster.
3. At the time it was built, Toronto's CN Tower was the tallest free-
standing structure in the world. It has since been topped by 2 completed
structures. Name either one.
4. Burlington, Vermont, lies on the shores of which lake?
5. The highest peak in Acadia National Park, Cadillac Mountain, has a
connection to another location mentioned in this quiz. What is that
connection?
6. A major part of Acadia National Park is its "Carriage Roads", used today
mainly by cyclists. These roads were financed and constructed by which
American philanthropic family?
7. The person pictured on bottles of Samuel Adams beer is not Samuel Adams.
Which other American patriot is depicted?
8. I-90 is the longest Interstate Highway in the United States. Name both
cities that contain its eastern and western terminus points.
9. Name the only National Park in the state of Ohio.
10. Two members of the Order of the British Empire have served Chicago as
leaders of major cultural institutions. The first was Sir Georg Solti
(KBE), Music Director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 1969-1991.
Name the second, who still holds his post.
