Also, there is a question Which rock band is the lead singer Mick Jagger, and then who is the lead singer of the Rolling stones. Why isn't here "This question is already part of the database?"

I have not had that question, but it is a great example of the question i have to ask all the time when I do the quiz -- What would a poorly educated person think the answer is? I bet there is a fair share of people around here that have not even heard of the Ukraine or Belarus.

Uhm, again, using my method of guessing what the questioner "thought" the answer might be, I got the question correct, but where in the world did he come up with the answer??!!

What does "Faust" mean?
On a ship
Surrounded by people
Playing in the sand
Someone who is constantly alone

Edit: Also found simple spelling error:
Who wrote The Twilight Saga books?
Stephenic Meyer
Should be "Stephenie Meyer"

It's not quite an error, but don't you think we've had quite enough "who wrote" questions? I don't think any 8th grader, or even someone who just finished high school, reads that many books

I fully support this, when we try to post other types of question the "special group" pops up. But it seems everyone is fully vested in the world of literature.....

How many years are there inbetween each leap year?
3
4
5
4.5


A couple things. 'Inbetween' should be 'in between'. And, with that wording, it would actually be 3, not 4. Either the answer should be changed to 3, or the wording should be changed to something like:
A leap year happens every __ years.
