Madness Central Interactive  MadQuiz
Welcome to the Madness Central MadQuiz
Do you know everything and more about the Los Palmas 7? Prove it! Twelve questions means twelve times the fun of one question! We'll be inquiring on all that is nutty and mad, from the simplistic like the license plate number from the "Driving In My Car" video to the mind-boggling like what Suggs had for breakfast on 3rd June 1983.

The MadQuiz will be updated fortnightly with answers and a list of those with the highest scores posted on both this page and in the Madness Central forum.

Please Note: To prevent multiple entries being submitted by any one person your IP address is temporarily logged when sending answers.
