According to Wikipedia, on 6th april 2008 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiz), a quiz is a form of game or mind sport in which the players (as individuals or in teams) attempt to answer questions correctly. Quizzes are also brief assessments used in education and similar fields to measure growth in knowledge, abilities, and/or skills.
Origin of the word QUIZ:There seems to be different opinions on the origin of the word “quiz”. It is likely, that the term just has been seen or heard from different sources at different times. Of course there is probably an element of guessing as well, since it is hard to document things like that precisely.
