We do these kind of quizzes in another forum I frequent to relieve the boredom in the off-season. There are fewer questions (typically ten) and the rule is you have to answer them all. The setter replies to each entry with the number of answers that are correct but doesn't say which ones are correct. We eventually get some kind of resolution by collective effort but sometimes the setter has to resort to "the setter is right even when he is wrong" rule. 
When we have all the answers we get the next ten questions.
