Who said "A house divided against itself cannot stand"?
Thomas Jefferson
George Washington
George W. Bush
Abraham Lincoln

Linclon was quoting Jesus - Matthew 12:25. I reckon he has first say as the speaker of this quote. I bet GWB read that speech aloud at some time too so he must have said it. Not specific enough.

This needs a date, as some new movie might conceivably be made with a different director.

What is the most usual feline beast of South America?
tiger
jaguar
lynx
puma

I think "common" is the word here, or "wide spread", not "usual", and actually, based on what I have found on the web, I believe it's the household cat (wild and domestic).



What is a MASS SPECTROMETRY?

On the indiana jones question this one does not actually need a date. Since George Lucas owns the rights to the movies, the characters, and all properties related to it and since he refuses to release any indiana jones movie that does not have Speilberg as the director than there is no need for a change in the question. Doesn't anyone else every watch the extras on the dvd's anymore? George Lucas explained all this when he was explaining why it took so long for the 4th movie to come out.

What super-villain kidnapped and murdered Peter Parker's girlfriend Gwen Stacy?

This question needs to be deleted. First there are way too many story arcs for comic books. So if you haven't read them all you won't know this. Also when searching for this it is not easy to find, takes way too long. lastly it breaks the rules. Here is the direct line from the quiz rule page.

"Do not ask ones that demand lexical knowledge (like dates) or that is known only by a special group (e.g. Magic the Gathering, comics etc.). If you have to valuate such a question, please choose the „Bad question” option."

Obviously either the rules need to be changed or the evaluators that letting these questions slip by need to work a little harder. I know some of them or at least one is doing their job since my questions get rejected.

I came across a question about which American Indian tribe Pocahontas was from. Two of the choices were Iriquois and Mohawk. The Iriquois Nation of tribes is actually made up of 5 tribes including the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. Iriquois is not a tribe in and of itself.
The answer is that she was from the Powhatan tribe, so the answer is irrelevant to my concerns, but I'm not sure if this is considered incorrect questioning or not. To me it felt like the question maker was giving a misleading (or misinformed) choice.

No no, by cell phone .... no wait if it's Coca Cola, John Stith Pemberton died in 1888, so you can't call him any more.

P.s. sorry couldn't resist. On a more serious note, yes the question does need to specify what type of coke.

A person who races dogs <- marked as correct

Which of these actors did not play as "James Bond"?
Woody Allen

There are two answers too this question, woody allen and peter sellers. Since in the casino royale movie that author of the question was referencing peter sellers played the character Evelyn Tremble. That is how he credited in the movie. This question should be changed.

What are the only two animals to have gills in the embrianic stage of life?
Frogs and Fish
Humans and Fish <- marked as correct
Fish & Snakes
Fish and Salamanders

1st its embryonic not embrianic.
2nd either human embryos do not have gills, or all mammals do. Actually the theory that postulates that human embryos have "gill like structures" postulates that bird and reptile embryos do as well. No biologist will claim that human embryos have gills.

So this question should never have been approved.

How many cm is a basketball hoop from the floor?
290 cm
295 cm
310 cm
305 cm


This would have been MUCH better as a dual measurement question (as in 10 feet / 305cm), especially given that the game was invented in the US, using Imperial measurements.
