Pluto is no longer considered a planet so its correct. That is actually the reason the player used Pluto as an answer, trick question.

As for the racial discussion, there is no debate if we are or are not all Africans. The question was about Russians, it was answered that they are Europeans, end of story.

There are at least two versions of this question in the database.

And as to my African comment, it was a joke, and as stekkos said "End of story"

"What is the use of a lightning rod" or something similar. ( I ll add when and if I get the question again and I hope I wont)

correct marked answer is:

To reduce the probability of a lightning strike..
While at the same time there is :

To attract lightning



What am I missing here? If anyone would know how to reduce the possibility of a lightning they would be very rich (beside the tools farmers use, but they do it to break clouds, not to affect lightning.

Rods are in fact used to attract ligtnings to prevent it to hit anywhere else and cause damage.

minus 1 internet point and minus 1 point in logic understaning of question for moderator who left this slip.

just had one along lines of what are the barbs on a cats tongue used for, of the 4 answers 2 are correct. used to scrape meat off bones this was the one shown as correct and th eother is for grooming, it appears that scraping meat off bones is a correct answer however a simple search of google shows many cat experts giving the reason as grooming.

domestic cats dont really eat that many bones but they groom themselves with tongue everyday so the correct answer should be grooming or at the least the question should be pulled for being "ambiguous"

Two of the possible answers makes it a common phrase: Blind as a bat and Blind as a mole are both common phrases, so only one of them should be possible answers.

And I see this one is still in the database, though it is incorrect: Three species of elephant are living today: the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant and the Asian elephant (also known as the Indian elephant).

This is wrong: New Brunswick is the only official bilingual province in Canada and Quebec is officially unilingual (French only).

Which U.S. President's face is not depicted on Mount Rushmore?
John Adams
Theodore Roosevelt
George Washington
Ronald Reagan

There's two right answers, Johnn Adams isn't depicted either
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln are the ones depicted on Mount Rushmore...

This one is grammatically wrong, witch makes it easy to misread it, besides finding one she is not in, among the 41 she did play in, is what I'd call specialist knowledge.

"All of the above" is only one song!!! and the two below are also songs by AC/DC, my point is, it's a bad set of answers.

All sources I have found list Psalms as the longest book, based on the fact that there are 150 chapters, 2,461 verses, 43,743 words, in the Psalms. I haven't been able to find the numbers for Acts, but it's not listed among the top 10.

Strangely, it looks like the little town of "Pisa" is on the list of banned words. Perhaps we should start a list of dumb banned words.

need i say more?

Quiz: A doctor gives you 3 pills and tells you to take one pill every half an hour. How much time will pass before all the pills are taken?
Wrong answer, the correct answer was: 1 Hour.

This is a bad question from an adventure. It assumes you take a pill right away in order to obtain the 1 hour answer. But it doesn't mention this in the question. Everytime I have gone to a doctor and if they have given me anything,. always say take one dose now, and then the instructions for how many and how long inbetween. This needs to be changed in the system. Otherwise it is a miss leading question and that is just per crap.

Spin you admit that most of the times a doctor gives a perscription he says take 1 now. Even if it is not so, the question does imply how long from the moment the first pill is taken. There is no reason to play around with the wording. I agree it can be interpreded as how long do i have the pills in my possesion until i had the last one. Since this explanation is unanswerable (no one can know how long i was carrying around the pills before i take them) what the patient does is not a factor. The doctor said: take 1 every half hour. The patient starts taking the pills ANYTIME. If he follows the doctors orders, the last pill will be consumed 1 hour after the first.

Empirically, yes, you do. People have complained about that question several times, but it's still here.

Which food item is the most expensive on earth?
Beluga Caviar*
Safron Spice
Truffles
something else

I don't remember all the choices for the answers but the correct answer as listed in the question is beluga caviar which isn't correct. I did a google search and no where did it say this in the results page. it did list saffron spice on the results page as the most expensive. which is what I chose for an answer only to get the question wrong. I thought the prupose of this was to get it from the listed results of say a google search???

Actually it's called the superbowl, and according to google the term football world cup is not used either, it is referred to as the FIFA world cup.

What is the only fish that can swim up a waterfall?
Eel
Tuna
Salmon *
Trout

I'll let u decide this one....
Salmon don't actually swim up waterfalls, no fish can at this time. What they do is dive, surge up, and jump out of the water which is where they get the forward progress, when they hit the water again they dive to escape the harsher current, the water at the bottom is not as rapid as the surface water, then surge back up and jump again moving forward with each leap.

I think a rewording at the least is needed.

I also think some admins for these questions that are based here in the U.S. would also be good.

13. What are the three primary colors?
Lol, someone copied this one from some other on-line quiz


How is this not a specialist knowledge question?

Is detailed knowledge about other games not considered specialist knowledge? 1st I had to find out what constituted a faction in WoW, then find some source that would tell me how many there are. In all I don't think this question belongs in the database.

just got this question


Exactly one of these statements is correct. Which one?
55^2 + 66^2 = 5566
99^2 + 22^2 = 9922
88^2 + 33^2 = 8833
44^2 + 77^2 = 4477
