I found this: Animal Maximum Age (Years)
1. Quahog (marine clam) up to 200
2. Giant tortoise 150
3. Greek tortoise 110
4. Killer whale 90
5. European eel 88
6. Lake sturgeon 82
7. Sea anemone 80
8. Elephant 78
9. Freshwater mussel 75
10. Andean condor 70

But I also found:
but I also found:
- The Antarctic sponge Cinachyra antarctica has an extremely slow growth rate in the low temperatures of the Southern Ocean. One specimen has been estimated to be 1,550 years old.[24]
A specimen of the Icelandic Cyprine Arctica islandica (also known as an ocean quahog), a mollusk, was found to have lived 405 years and possibly up to 410.[25][26] Another specimen had a recorded life span of 374 years.[27]
Some koi fish have reportedly lived more than 200 years, the oldest being Hanako, died at an age of 226 years on July 7, 1977.[28]
Some confirmed sources estimated Bowhead Whales to have lived at least to 211 years of age, making them the oldest mammals.[29]
Specimens of the Red Sea Urchin, Strongylocentrotus franciscanus, have been found to be over 200 years old.[30]
Adwaita, a Aldabra Giant Tortoise died at the (possible) age of 250 in March 2006.

so... the question could be marked as "ambiguous."

I've never experienced that, but I've seen reports of it periodically. Someone said it had to do with a server going down, so you got routed to the backup server. It sounds more like a multithreading bug in the code to me. Either way, though, this is technically a bug report, not a quiz error. Hopefully it won't happen to you again.

i posted this question :

Which of the following is the correct chronological order, from earliest to latest, of the origins of the religions listed below?

Buddhism, Christianity, Islam
Buddhism, Islam, Christianity
Christianity, Buddhism, Islam
Christianity, Islam, Buddhism
and got this sent back



The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
According to evaluators your question is ambiguous


how is that possiable i got the question from a college board entrence exam in the USA


My guess would be that you do not specify if it's earliest or latest religion first?

Happens to me fairly often due to impatience. I'll click on "answer C" and hit submit... Then a few seconds later, nothing has happened, so I hit Submit again. If it was because of a server processing delay, then the re-submit works - if it's because of a server recall delay, then the server thinks you're answering the next question already (as answer C).

Had this question today:

How many meters equal 10 yards?
15,445
9,144
11,122
13,333


All answers are incorrect!

The correct answer should be 9.144 meters - a decimal point should be present, not a comma!

What are the names of the two lion statues outside of the New York public library?
Patience and Fortitude
Independence and Individualism
Mercy and Strength
Balance and Passion

Actually the official names of those two lions are Lord Astor and Lady Lenox (originally "Leo Astor" and "Leo Lenox"), but their nicknames are one of the options, so just a minor inaccuracy in the question.

P.s. Viridel, some of what you find to be uninteresting or lexical knowledge I find interesting and informative.

BUT IF YOU RESEARCH, YOU CAN FIND: any that can hold there breath and have legs

If it is a comma in some countries but is a decimal point in other countries then you now have an ambiguous question and it cannot therefore be a good question. So I return to my first point, have it reemoved from the database along with this question:

If you toss a coin 9 times and every time it turns up heads, what is the chance of it turning up tails the tenth time?
100,00%
90,00%
50,00%
10,00%


Same reason applies - I live in the UK and have been educated in the UK. Applying a comma where a decimal point should be used gives an entirely different meaning to your answer, hence you are creating ambiguity.
