We recently posted our 500th question on Boiledbeans and to celebrate, we conducted a Live Quiz Contest.

I built a neat bash like interface for the quiz using Mootools ( and of course, Javascript and HTML ) and people really liked it!

I am planning to make the code public in a while. Since the quiz is still alive, I cannot release it immideately.

Here is the code:
