Commonwealth Games Quiz

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28062001

A calculator that matches you to your top (and bottom) Commonwealth sports, based on your personal attributes. This was featured on the bbc.co.uk/ index for two days and promoted on BBC Breakfast. “Shout” singer Lulu completed the test for BBC Breakfast and got badminton as her top sport.

Viewed 2 million times in its first 24 hours, with 80% of people completing the test and reaching the results page. Simultaneously the most Read and Shared story the day it was published, and famous on Reddit. Rigorous time management meant I was ahead of schedule, so I took the initiative to translate the calculator into Welsh. It was promoted on the BBC Cymru homepage.

The quiz has been shared on social media almost 40,000 times to date.
