Start the quiz on September 22, 2010, anytime between 12:01 A.M. GMT and 11:59 P.M. GMT. 

You have 60 minutes to take the 30-question quiz. Regardless of when you start the quiz, you will have 60 minutes or until the end of the 24-hour quiz time to complete the quiz, whichever comes first. For example, if you begin the quiz early in the 24-hour quiz time, you will have 60 full minutes to complete the quiz. If you start the quiz 45 minutes before the end of the 24-hour quiz period, you will only have 45 minutes to complete the quiz on that day.

You may participate in every quiz but you will only be allowed to take one quiz during each 24-hour period. One (1) of your scores must be 15 or higher (or 50 percent correctly answered questions) in order to advance to Round 2. Once advanced to Round 2, there is no need to take additional quizzes, but you can continue to test your knowledge.
