I don't get it. You want the answer to the question "How long is a mile?" to be "1 mile"? What's the point of that? If the question is "How tall is the Eiffel Tower?" or something, I'm there with you. I think the options should always be presented in both metric and US, so as not to favor any population. I proposed that already and got shot down, so it is what it is.

Your comment about who plays this game Viridel its quite out of place, Asian countrys are especially active in doomlord, but even if North America and Europe are the majority, they cannot be taken as the primary source of what is a correct question. Just like it was not the right way to consider Europe in the same way just because it is a Hungarian company running it.

I have no clue? coming from someone who thinks kicking a ball long or short designates a different form of corner kick lol... Field hockey is the number 2 most popular team sport in the world, just behind football (soccer) You dont have to be smarmy about it all Virindel, i proved your initial statement wrong, cop it on the chin and take the education lesson with some grace lol...

As for narrowing down your intial Euro statement to be very country specific and selecting almost arctic countries in Euro where summer last a few weeks at best making field hockey difficult to play is the equivilent of me comparing the numbers in India, Pakistan, Spain and Australia lol, it dont happen cos there is no ice to play on...

As far as google search, if u didnt realise google use Geo Targeting which means if u search for something in your country you will get different results that the other 99% of the countries int he world where Field hockey will maintain the first 2 million pages before ice hockey pops up:)

"In conclusion, I think that for the purpose of the game, Ice Hockey can be called Ice Hockey, or simply Hockey - while Field Hockey needs that "Field" designation to make it accurate."

Not even the governing body of ice hockey considers itself "simply Hockey" it is the International Ice Hockey Federation where as the governing body of Field Hockey is the International Hockey Federation, there is no need for field to be added, THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND NTH AMERICA

just had this question AGAIN... it should be erased as the question is formulated WRONG. so the answer will often be wrong because of it since you need to GUESS what the correct question is.



A brick weighs 2kg and half a brick, how much do 2 bricks weigh?
2kg
4kg
8kg***

again.. what is the phrase "and a half brick" supposed to mean? 1 brick + half a brick? the question should read "2 kg AS a half brick" or "Half a brick weighs 2kg."

Well i guess its open to interpretation, ive done some research and cricket also comes up as 2nd most popular, the only list i could find that puts basketball at 2 is one that puts volleyball at 1 lol





I didnt actually say anything of the kind lol, take the blinkers off and read again, i said i would be very surprised if field hockey wasnt mor popular than ice hockey, guess what? i was very suprised lo, i wasnt wrong in my statement tho... just suprised:)

When your going to talk about blanket statements just make sure u understand what your putting a blanket over and maybe try placing it on yourslf first:)





Read above lol, YOU are saying thats what i said, read what i said and you will see i said nothing of the sort:) your bad your blunder:) Your Canadian tho so I wont hold it against you I lived in Canada for a few years and its one of my fav countries in the world.



Ok, so when someone posts about "Hockey" - what does that mean? it means field hockey, if some one wants to talk about ice hockey then they would say ice hockey, that IS the most accurate description sorry to say.

And just shut up about "long and short corners in soccer". Amongst the answers listed, Soccer was the only sport that actually HAS corner play - therefore was the only viable option... Unless you interpret "Hockey" as Field Hockey. Which, as Stekkos has already ruled, would be the minority opinion. If F-Hockey was one of the listed options, I would have selected it.

Could u help me out. I was said this following has spelling mistakes
What is the name of the dwarf planet that comes after Haumea?

Pluto
Makemake
Eris
None of the above

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
Spelling mistakes in question or answers.

But according to the wikipedia it does not. I have taken the question and answer from there.

Which of the following fiction hero is not human?
Beowulf
White Fang <- marked as correct
Wolf Larsen
Count Dracula

What form did fire form after merry and pippin lite it in LOTR. (will edit with exact question when I run into it again).

As this is first time I run into this question I'll assume that it is fairly new. I watched lord of the ring at least 2 times (every movie from series), and I really don't even have slightest idea on what part of the movie this is related to, not to mention what form did the fire form.
Few pages back on one of the quizz forum section stekkos made a good point about asking this kind of questions using ( lol) LOTR type of question to explain. In short if you have to watch the movie again and search for the answer of the movie related question , it is bad question, and then I get this question?
I don't mind googling every other historical on geog question, but I d like a fair shot on answering at least movie question about movie I saw twice without using google.
Thnks

From 2011 there is an extra round where 8 teams compete for 4 places, or that's how I understand the description on wikipedia. So next year the answer will be 5-6 rounds.

Where is the line between national sporting events with international interest and purely national events with no interest to players from other countries?
This is a national event for the US, so not many people outside the US is likely to know what it is. Luckily wikipedia has an entry on it. But as far as I know this tournament has no connection to any International sporting event, but it is one of the most prominent sporting events in the US, so to me this is a perfect example of a question that should or should not have been admitted to the database, based on where that lies.

Hockey also has corner play:) Ice hockey might not but hockey does:) Email ice hockey federation and ask them what the difference between hockey and ice hockey is i bet they can tell u real quick and they wont need a field in front to understand:) Stekkos is also wrong lol, but never the less if you go back and read my original post u will see i suggest a field be put in front of hockey to designate the differnce for you guys that live in bubbles lol:)

Lesson learnt?
