...All the current answers for a quiz machine, in digital format, how much would this be worth?

Probably nothing, unfortunately, as they are ever-changing, and not 'overly' useful, except, perhaps, for 'review'.

I seeeee.

And they're game/company specific, not machine.

The problem is how to turn a long list of questions and answers into usable knowledge, i.e. how do you sit and learn a set of facts without any context? You may then consider storing the answers electronically but I don't know any way of accessing the required answer from e.g. a PDA in the short time allowed by most games, and even if you can surmount those hurdles, you still have 'spoilers' to contend with - many games now have a way of generating questions on the fly e.g. the number of years between Book X and Book Y being released. Assuming you can overcome all this, the games and/or question sets will then be changed and you are back to square one...

Like any 'get rich quick' idea, you would be much better working on a way to get rich slowly, which in this case (as in so much else in life) means hard work and practice!

Why have you got some to sell?

If sum1 gave me the answers then I could make them into a usuable program with a search that was quick enough
Also I could index them and U wud be able to cross-referemce them but no1 here works at companies that make the machines so its pointless even saying anyways

Heh - we've debated this before, talking about the use of palmtops and mobiles etc to store a database on... It just wouldn't work though...
