I love MightyQuiz. It really locks you in. They have trouble in presentations at YC because everyone immediately focuses on the app. That's an excellent problem to have.


Having yet another "well, why didn't I think of that?!?" moment. Nice app.


I'm not usually a fan of facebook apps but mightyquiz would actually make a great one.


we're working on it... =)


some really great design work coming out from the current batch - v. fresh and upfront


Beautiful presentation for the main app, although I don't like the way two tabs are laid out for choosing whether you want to create a new question or make a quiz for your blog on the "Write" page. Addictive app, though. How are you guys planning to monetize this?


That's prety cool. I had 4/4 right and started to suspect it was saying right to everything as a joke, 'cos I hadn't signed up. That's when I found out I didn't know the proper term for cat whiskers!


we scale the difficulty of the questions dynamically, so if you're doing well it starts serving up harder questions, and vice versa.


This would be killer on an iPhone.


Somebody at last year's Startup School said he had a very successful quiz site (widgets for myspace.) Is that the same person?


Congrats! Looks great!


I would like MightyQuiz more, if I hadn't after 80 questions found, I think, four or five that had incorrect 'right answers'.

It'd be better if they had some kind of way to prune these out.
