the Amur river is about 1800 miles (2900 km) long.

Amur River, a river in northeast Asia. The Chinese call it Heilong Jiang, meaning “Black Dragon River.” Measured from the junction of its main headstreams, the Shilka and Argun rivers, the Amur is about 1,800 miles (2,900 km) long. With the Shilka and Onon, the system measures about 2,700 miles (4,350 km) in length. More than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of its course forms the boundary between Russia and China.

The smallest muscle in a body isn't in eye, it's in ear, and moves the smallest bone...

Also, the question asking to calculate sqrt of 490000 requires a calculator, and i think it should be removed as well.

Nile was considered the longest river for a long while. It is still debated that Amazon is longer, though there are established scientific claims for that.

What is the largest desert on Earth?
Rub'al Khali
Kalahari
Sahara
Gobi

The answer is none of the above. I was taught the largest desert on Earth is Antarctica. A better question would be what is the largest hot desert on Earth?

Approx. how many active volcano can be found on Earth?
2000
1300
3700
800


I was thinking none of the above, as I thought the answer more than 1300, but less than 2000. So, I went with 2000, but the game said 1300 was the correct answer. Okay, when I finish my questions, it's time for a google search. Here I find most sites list approx. 1500 active volcanoes. Some sites even claim up to 3000. Either way, I am now irritated to have gotten this answer wrong because 1300 is not correct as the quiz states.

Found another:

Which animal killed Steve Irvine?
Alligator
Snake
Manta ray
Scorpion

None of the above. The correct answer is a stingray. Manta's are non-poisonous and swim around. Stingrays are poisonious and spend most of their time in the sand on the bottom. Also, the name is Irwin, not Irvine.

quiz question on error
39. post - 2009.08.22. 22:18:05
How can this be a special group of people might know question when it is about this game we are playing?
Now that is very odd. Would we as players know the answer to this question?


Which monster can you find in the doomlord game?

Leaping Gnome
Katwalker
Morfinder
Spider Slug


The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
According to evaluators only a special group of people might know the answer.

just imagine, you have just registered and you are about to start your very first hunt in the game. you get your first quiz question: Which monster can you find in the doomlord game? would you know the answer? surely not so from this aspect it really is a special knowledge. as far as i see, all the questions that a newcomer can answer are already asked about the game itself so i suggest finding some other subject.
