The Magazine

All these people will be quite enthusiastic to participate in this quiz competition, which leads to increase in the popularity of the Empire magazine.
On the other hand, this is also good news for the Bond fans because these quizzes contain questions relating to 21 James Bond movies dating between 1962 and 2006. Hence, just preparing for the quiz helps the participants to know a wide range of things about Bond that they did not know earlier. By winning this quiz, they can become more famous than they might have ever hoped to be. Hence, it is a win-win situation for both the magazine and the contestants.
The Quiz

This quiz contains a time frame within which the contestant has to answer the 20 questions that are put to him. To be frank, the contestant has to answer then as soon as possible.
