For this quiz I tried something different, based on the findings of this research paper, I introduced a 'head start' handicap system.

Based on previous average scores, the number of questions, and the number of players in a team, each team is given a head start number of points that get added on to the total. The more players, the less your head start.

I think I'll try the handicap system again for my next quiz, then review it after that.
