Which one is a famous parfume mark?
Dolce & Gabbana <- marked as correct
Omega <- also the name of a perfume
Miyako
Rado

Dolce & Gabbana is much more than perfume it's an Italian luxury fashion house.
Omega is a world famous brand that apart from watches among other things also have a perfume under its brand.

Edit: Btw Miyako is the name of a perfume as well

But if one has NO idea, that means the player has to look up each river individually and see where it runs. And that's the problem with geographical NOTs, they are simply so much more time consuming. I know the Quiz Olympics is/might be dead, but questions like this were absolute murder on times. And having to look up multiple answers for one question is tedious, not fun - and shouldn't the game be as fun as possible?

I know it's a fine line between "useful NOTs" (as in who was not an Axis Power in WW2, which is an excellent question) and "useless NOTs" (such as the above). I guess that's where uninteresting/lexical comes in... What is the value in knowing what river is NOT in Portugal? I can already name over 100 rivers NOT in Portugal.

With what hand did Doyle Brunson win both of his WSOP poker titles?
Pair of aces
Jack-nine
Pair of sevens
Ten-two


Ummm... Wow. I never want to see one of my sports questions get rejected ever again.

On the same note though no one is asking something about those examples you listed that isn't knowledge easily obtainable to people who have never read there books or seen there movies. I think Viridel makes a good point that the question should be changed just to help clear it up and make it easier to find the answer to for those of us that do not know.

double posting.

In the game Doomlord, how you increase your "luck"?
by learning skills
by developing from soul energy
by completing quests
by building for your clan

This question needs to be removed, since I was told that I could not post one that about what level you can start doing adventures since it was not accessable to level 1 players. I have searched the rules and faq's page and can find nothing about luck on them so by the same rules this needs to be removed. It is very unlikely a level 1 would be able to learn this.

Found this quiz question:
In Canada how many Chinese people died for every mile of railroad laid?
none
1200
1000
600

Actual answer is 4. Per the Chinese Canadian History website:
"It was estimated that for every mile of train track laid in the Rockies, four Chinese lost their lives. Some 600 Chinese died while building the CPR and often their bodies were not found. "

"The main storyline of the original Dragonlance series has been written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, with multiple books written by several further authors, covering different years in between and sometimes during the main events."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonlance
The question should be: "Who created the Dragonlance universe?" or "Who wrote the original Dragonlance series?"


Reproduced? When man reproduces a tree, he makes an image or a replication of a tree. Who knows what tree kids reproduce in their drawings and paintings. I simply do not believe there is any statistical material available to answer that question. If we are talking the most commonly cultivated tree, I have been unable to find any statistics to support the claim that pine is the correct answer.


A score is 20, so could be 20 seconds, 20 meters, 20 weeks, 20 feet, 20 years, 20 millennia, or any other multiple of 20.

Not an error, just a request to people writing questions: words like famous, legendary, great etc. are used way to much, and in many cases they are at best unnecessary, and in some cases they create confusion.

The problematic question is:

How may sides does a tetahedron have?
Answers: 3,4,5,6


The problem is that it is a 3d shape. So it can be seen to have 4 sides(the faces), or it can be seen to have 6 sides(the egdes).
The question needs to be rephrased.

I have now recieved the 3rd question in reference to Julius Caesar as being an emperor of Rome. He was never an emperor of Rome, but a dictator, consul, or military leader. Can we please make sure that this type of question not go through for a fourth time.

Julius Caesar
Caligula
Caesar Augustus
Nero

Yeah, I've mentioned this one before as well. Glad to see the game admins keep an eye on the forum [/sarcasm]

Sometimes I dread looking at what the latest problem is with the quiz threads, but something about this post makes every visit here worthwhile. It just makes me smile.

How many different chess pieces are there in a standard game of chess?
6
5
15
20

As the right answer is marked 6. Can you explain how do you mean that?
Because:
There are the following pieces on one team in a standard game of chess:
King
Queen
Bishop (x2)
Knight(x2)
Castle/Rook (x2)
Pawn (x8)

So that's 16 - and remember there is also another team so that makes 32 overall

OH, SORRY, NOW I SEE - THE POINT IS "DIFFERENT"

Who was Mathias Rex? I search all over the google, but I found only hotels named after him (Mathias Rex Szentendre), some dogs champions (dogs - CHAMPION CLASS ex1, cac, r.cacib DOBER KOPP MATHIAS REX), komisar REX... Is this really "general knowledge" question?

I believe the player meant Matthias Corvinus, but since i do not know the answer he marked as correct i cannot be sure. Did he say it was a king?
