Where, in the forum rules, does it mention anything to do with closing dates of quizzes? Nothing, as far as I can see.
This is from another forum regarding help with quizzes
"
Please be helpful and kind when offering answers, solutions and suggestions. Suggesting another user should “try harder,” will not be tolerated – quizzers of all abilities are free to use the website as they please."
I feel the same should apply here, unless the quiz setter has stipulated "do not ask for help on the internet"
Merry Christmas !
