Whats this for a dammit Quiz?
who wasnt a Dictaotor?
I answered Julius Cäsar and there stand thats wrong George Bush,no one of this 2mens was a dictaator,one tip when write a question first thinking then writing

Julius Ceasar, was a roman Dictator, yes that was his title for part of his reign. However a Roman dictator was not the same as the modern use of the word, it's more a keen to a US president during a nation wide state of emergency.

Just got this question, which is wrong.


"Which of these is a pure substance"

listed were

Air (marked as the correct answer)
Sugar
gold
diamond

this is CLEARLY wrong, as the chemical composition of (regular table sugar) is C12H22O11, as you can see it has 3 different elements, so there is nothing PURE about it, it's a mix of elements.

"Air" on the other hand is a very vague discription to begin with. Does the questioner mean Air as in the stuff we breath? or does he mean Oxygen sometimes also refered to as air depending on where you live. because Oxygen is Pure since it ONLY consists of 2 oxygen molecules.

in the above case, air is thus pure.

Diamond, gold and sugar are all pure substances, air is a mixture of different gases. Perhaps the author forgot "not" from the question?
(while it is true that sugar is composed of different elements it still consists of only one substance, and you can't separate anything from sugar without breaking chemical bonds in it)

How many books are there in the Twilight book series?

Currently, the answer is correct.

But, they plan to write another book soon.
At that time, the answer will be incorrect.

Shouldn't this have a "As of June, 2010) in there or something?

What discovery led to the exact absolute dating in geology?
Chemycal analysis of rocks.
The discovery of radioactivity.
The invention of deep boring.
Darwin's Theory

It's absolute dating, now exact absolute dating, the theory and numbers behind absolute dating has changed a number of times, and is constantly updated, so no scientist will claim that it's exact. It's regarded as the most correct dating method available in geology.

How tall is Tugela falls?
948 m
3000 feet
967 m
3400 feet

This one has been listed before, same unit of measure please.

What is lethal for werewolves?

Silver

Frame of reference please, as werewolves are mythical creatures there are no absolute and universal truths available.

Which game is the world's most-subscribed massively multiplayer online role-playing game of all time?
RuneScape
World of Warcraft

Needs a date, this might change, not saying it will just that it might, and thus invalidate the question.

What is the max action points you can have in doomlord without any help by Premium or Ancient Stones?
150
200
100
250 <-- marked correct

This question is wrong, since you can get up to 400 with the use of an acceleration upgrade of Maximum action points. This can be bought for 200 actions points so it clearly fits into the questions perameters. Please remove or change the question.

I agree with Martin, but also want to point out that it is incorrect since it is not specific enough. The orignal everquest holds the record of the most actively subcribed MMO. While WoW has the title of most overall Subscribed MMO.

What is the speed of sound at sea level called?
possible answers: MACH 1, MACH 2, MACH 2, MACH 4

But i found on GOOGLE:
There is no special name for the speed of sound at sea level, because the sea level and every other air pressure high up in the mountain has nothing to do with the speed of sound.

This is a trick question unless I'm mistaken. Mach 1 equals the speed of sound, mach 2 is twice the speed of sound, mach 3 is three times the speed of sound etc. The actual speed of course differs but it is called mach 1 when you are moving at the speed of sound, wherever you are.

Had this one today - what comes before a fall?

Correct answer was given as Pride, but "Rise" was also available. To me, if you "fall" as in falling from a height, then you have to rise to such a height to fall from it. The question should be reworded or removed.

What is the most commonly used search engine in the world?
Dogpile
Google

Yahoo

This one needs a date, as google has not always been the most commonly used search engine, and most likely will cease to be at some point.

What is the current "Land Speed Record" for 1 mile?
Date! very few records are not broken at some point.

Just had the same question. All the choices were:
Rise
Pride
Embarrassment
Height

I can see all but embarrassment being an answer. This question should simply be removed.

It's an often misused, misquoted, and misunderstood Bible verse: "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

I agree, the question needs to be reworded.

You are correct, but;

You should elaborate on this.
The origins of Mitsubishi is Japanese (Asia) but was bought by DaimlerChrysler (which is/was a German company) but was bought up by the Mitsubishi Group and is now Mitsubishi Motor Company (Back to the Japanese)

The origins of Jaguar is England but is now owned by Tata Motors (India)

Well another problem is that most bankers and robbers are civilians, so "civilians" should be replaced by bystanders. What's more, in some countries almost no one are killed in bank robberies, and certainly not enough for statistics. In other countries I doubt there are any national statistics, so globally this question doesn't make much sense.
