Even if it had not been there are others: Copenhagen, no rivers or even large streams there, Stockholm, an archipelago, (Helsinki, close to a river but not actually on it, same with Reykjavik).. do I need to investigate it any further.

Which of the following have not had Moose introduced?
Japan (marked correct)
New Zealand
Scotland
Newfoundland

Now, ignoring for a second that the first three are countries and the last is a Canadian province - Fact is that Moose have never been INTRODUCED to Newfoundland... They were always here! Beyond that, even as a Canadian, and having seen moose... Who cares? Utterly pointless question, that is wrong, with inconsistent answers.

Calabrese is a kind of what?

Vegetable


According to Google - a Watch, handbag, rock band, or Italian region. Nothing about Veggies.

This is why that Key relic that gives credit for 4 answers (and punishes for 4 answers) NEEDS to be changed. Taking a penalty of (basically) 40% of a hunt because of wrong stuff in the Quiz is unfair, and just crap. It should credit 3 for a right answer, and only penalize 1 for a wrong one. This is one of those basic logic things that I was talking about earlier - buying a benefit (speed) that actually creates an in-game penalty is absurd.

Who invented technologies involving mechanics, hydraulics, and mathematics applied to horology, metallurgy, astronomy, agriculture, engineering,...?
Russian (include music theory, craftsmanship, nautics, and warfare)
Chinese (include music theory, craftsmanship, nautics, and warfare) <- marked as correct
American (include music theory, craftsmanship, nautics, and warfare)
Arabic (include music theory, craftsmanship, nautics, and warfare)

I'm sure the Chinese did, but so did the other 3. As to who was the 1st that can be argued from now till the end of the world.

I doubt the Americans were first, considering they didn't exist when these tech's came about

Oh the Americans was there, both Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec, and Aztec were the US wasn't though.

What are the metal or plastic sheaths on the end of a shoelace called?
crimp
aglet <- marked as correct
deboney
eyelet

How is this not uninteresting lexical knowledge?

Quote: MartinBV - 2010.11.30. 23:58:04

Meh, kinda' interesting... The thing the lace goes thru is an eyelet, so it's something somewhat clever in the English language. Useful - definitely not. Pure trivia - absolutely.

Shu was the Egyptian god of:
air
water
fire
earth

Wrong answer. World of Warcraft........


I don't know if you can check databases etc, but the question I answered following that one was also wrong.
I don't remember it now, but the answer was unrelated. I took another question to see if there was a problem with the quiz system in general, but it seems it was just those two questions. In doing so I forgot the second bad question though :/
(the answer it gave was 'pacific ocean' - if that helps)

Around 400 BC a talented chinese artisan made the first what?
sun dial
b
c
d


Wrong answer! The correct answer is: Korea.

Huh? Around 400 BC, a talented Chinese artisan made the first Korea?

Exactly, I selected Sun Dial or one of the other inventions. Then it came up "Wrong answer! The correct answer is: Korea." Which is completely unrelated and not in the list answers.
That's the third one today that has an unrelated answer.

are u using IE browser?

i had to stop using it as it is a bit buggy with quiz and quite often i had same problem, im pretty sure u will find that that answer korea was from a completely different question.

if u using ie try firefox

What color does litmus strip turn when exposed to acid?
green
yellow
pink <- marked as correct
blue

Actually it's red (or that's what the colour is described in all sources I have ever read), but actual colour varies based on the acidity (pH-value)

I think the problem with the unrelated answers is that you actually send an answer twice and the unrelated answer was the answer to the next question.
It also happens with messages sometimes that you get them twice at once at the exact same time.

I corrected/deleted most of the questions here.

Ferociter: Unfortunately this is the double click problem again. Korea was the answer for the next question.

think this question is bad:

What is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way?
