The question is: Babies are born without which body part? and the answer is : kneecaps

BUT LOOK WHAT I FOUND:
That babies do not have knee caps at birth is not exactly true. All of us are born with knee caps. The knee caps of human beings actually form at the foetal stage, during the fourth month actually. However, at that point and until later, the knee caps are not ossified; they are made of cartilage. The growth centres around the knee caps form only a little prior to birth, and, in some cases, just after birth.

The kneecaps are there, only not ossified, as mentioned earlier. The ossification happens much later, when the child is around three years old, in the case of females, and four to five years in the case of males. etc...

Its the same with teeth. The teeth are there, just not visible. Still you say a baby has no teeth. Literally thats wrong. But taken in a more general way it still applies. So, ofcourse you are correct and thank you for that nice detail Still the question is good enough to stay.

What NFL championship game was first dubbed "Super Bowl"?

who cares?! how about we drop these stupid questions and leave only those with an answer "that is NOT known only by a special group". no one outside USA cares about your football (actually the whole world calls football what you call soccer, but ok.. ). also please drop the what x nationality player won some obscure event in year <= 1950.

And very few people in North America care about your "International" Football. The Super Bowl is the single most watched event in the world. According to the Doomlord forum -> Doomlord Game Forums -> Story -> Doomlord players all over the world thread, it appears that between 40 and 50% of the players are of North American origin. I see very few North American saying "get that European shit out of the quiz", yet it is an unfortunately common viewpoint that North American topics (especially sports) don't belong at all. There is already a notable European bias in the questions, so having someone suggest that the bias should be accentuated even further is very discouraging, considering this is supposed to be a WORLD server.

I don't care one bit that there are Euro based questions in the quiz - but I do care greatly the questions from both sides of the ocean are not evaluated equally.

The author is right.
Wright brothers opened a repair and sales shop "Wright Cycle Company" (Wright Cycle Exchange at first) about the year of 1896, so we can surely say, that their profession was making bicycles.
Next time try wikipedia.

just got this question

Who Invented the battery?

Bruno Abakanowicz
Thomas Edison
Anatoly Alexandrov **
Alessandro Volta

this is incorrect... he might have invented the MODERN battery, but batteries have been around since the ancient Egyptian times 4300 years ago. They were clay pots filled with vinegar using a copper cylincer with an iron rod in it.

What is a square?

* An object that has 4 sides of equal length
A goat
A 12 sided object
The type of person that evaluates these questions

It's funny, but non of them precise, because rhombus also has 4 sides of equal length. The difference between them is that square has four 90 degree angles or right angles.

Question:
How many sides does a pyramid have?
the correct answer is marked at 5.

The question needs to be more specific.
A square based pyramid has 5 sides.
A triangle based pyramid has 4 sides.

k I don't remember the exact wording of the question...

How many sides does a pyramid have?
the correct answer is marked at 5.

But I don't think it specified if it is a square based pyramid or a triangle based pyramid.
A square based pyramid has 5 sides but a triangle shaped pyramid has only 4.

Has anyone else had this question? Did it specify?


Already had the question, already complained about it. Admins are as active as usual, obviously

Who is not a Basketball Player:
Michael Jordan
Charles Barkley
Nick van Axel
Jeff van Gundy

Gundy is given as the right answer, and it is since he's only coached and never played (professional, at least). However, who is Nick van Axel??? There used to be a player named Nick van Exel - but no Axel.


Beyond that, why go so obscure? Who is going to know Exel -or- Gundy amongst general users? Swap Axel with John Stockton and Gundy with Mark Cuban, and the question is a LOT more viable. Here's a North American Sport question that should NOT have made it in - both for being obscure and for being wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Bible the New Testament - the Old Testament is the Torah?

Therefore, another name for the BIBLE is New Testament.

It's just not a good question.

Which one isn't a Mervyn Peake's novel?
Letters from a Lost Uncle
Mr Pye
Polar City Nightmare
Titus Groan


a) Weren't "NOT" questions being usually rejected unless the answer was evident?
b) Who the hell is Mervyn Peake?

Why are Sporting questions "Special Group", but these obscure writers keep getting approved?
