my questions have repeatedly been rejected. i do not understand who is evaluating these questions. i have adde several questions that can easily be answered by searching the web(a matter of several seconds). when i first seen the questions i figured"great this game even helps people to be more web versitile", but not the case. maybe i can get some feedback from the evaluators. i apologize for the last question i had answered. i was mad because it was rjected. jeffery dahlmer was a serial killer that was all over the news for years and shouldnt have been rejected. i also entered a question as to the amount of letters in the swedish language which also i feel should not have been rejected. any question i enter can easily be found on the web.

You are right, the answers can be found on the web. As to the amount of letters in the Swedish language: this question is of no interest for anyone except those who are from Sweden or studying Swedish.
As to the other question: we do not want to immortalise serial killers' name.

What sport does not involve animals?

Diving
Rodeo
Hunting
Fishing


The answer is obvious, but, technically, diving does involve animals. Humans are animals. Mammals specifically.

In a question which country doesn't have pyarmids, it states Brazil as the correct answer...

But:

"Archaeologists have discovered the world's oldest pyramids - on the Atlantic coast of southern Brazil. Like the pyramids of Egypt and Mexico, the South American ones seem to have been built for religious purposes."

And this question I got in the olympics...

You know, as much as i was mad for rejected questions, this makes sense. Its actually a matter of understanding what the game will allow. But as i said many times, if the reason for rejection was more informative it would save a lot of frustration from people

Most years that are divisible by four are leap years. However the duration of a solar year is not exactly 365.25 days, so there are some exceptions. Years that are evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, unless they are also evenly divisible by 400, in which case they are leap years.
So 2000 was leap year, but 1800 was not.

This is incorrect it should ask "The feminine of canine is *?" Being that the masculine of canine is Dog, So a feminine dog is confused.

Who were Courier and Ives?

The way this question is written, it suggests that the answer must be living being ( because of WHO ) and the answer is a thing (printers) which is misleading and wrong

Lines for elevation is called _______?
Isotopes.
Elevator line.
none of the above.
Contour Line.


if it is "lines" it must be "are" not is.

And funny, again a question with "none" as the answer... Pogaxa is getting sloppy...

PS - there even shouldn't be "none of the above" cause answers are permuted each time so that answer will not be at the bottom every time

Sorry, I can't see the exact question after I answer, but I just had one asking about what you are drawing if you use a Graticule. If I remember correctly, the choices were something like: map projection, earth, one other choice and all of the above. I thought a graticule is the grid of latitudes and longitudes which could be drawn on all the choices, but the answer was not listed as all of the above. Perhaps someone else can catch the full question and post it.

Valkyrie, you make good points usually but drop this one, a printer is not only the device but also the profession of the person using it.
