A quiz is a form of game or puzzle in which the players (as individuals or in teams), attempt to answer questions correctly.
Etymology
The story of the word "quiz" goes that in 1791 a Dublin theater owner named James Daly made a bet that he could introduce a word into the language within twenty-four hours. He then went out and hired a group of street urchins to write the word "quiz", which was a nonsense word, on walls around the city of Dublin. Within a day, the word was common currency and had acquired a meaning (since no one knew what it meant, everyone thought it was some sort of test) and Daly had some extra cash in his pocket.
It's a fun story. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no evidence to support it and the term was in use before the alleged bet in 1791.
