	Hey dude. I like the idea but I take one look at this and say "naw." Why not take the most interesting questions from all the different quizzes you've made and boil it down to one quiz? Especially if you can get a decent selection, like the rational expectations one, that don't need multiple choice.

	@plcolvin- When you contribute a quiz there's an option on the last page to make the quiz public or private. If you make it private then it shows up on your contributed quiz list, you can send the link to friends, etc., but it doesn't show up on the list of recently contributed games. That's a great option for study guides like this one. Good luck on that final!
