Which person wasn't a famous Dutch painter ?
Johannes Vermeer
Jan Steen
Joost van den Vondel
Frans Hals

I can see why it got through since it's not difficult and the question is interesting, but I'm sure I've read that no questions with a 'which is not' part to it are banned?

Leading the movement is placed to bring Pol Pot to power in 1966 the Communist Party ?
Can I have a translation please?

Since the question includes the name Pol Pot and one of the possible answers was "Khmer Rouge movement" I guessed that that was the right answer, but still, just remove the question.

What is the general cause of autoimmune diseases?
Bacteria
Overactive immune system
Toxic substances
Ageing

The "correct" answer - Overactive immune system - isn't the cause, it's the result!

The cause of autoimmune diseases is unknown, but it appears that there is an inherited predisposition to develop autoimmune disease in many cases. In a few types of autoimmune disease (such as rheumatic fever), a bacteria or virus triggers an immune response, and the antibodies or T-cells attack normal cells because they have some part of their structure that resembles a part of the structure of the infecting microorganism.

Evaluator Fail!

Who was the first person to fly non-stop across the Atlantic?

The first non-stop flight was made by Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown. Unless Lindbergh was hiding in the baggage department I don't think he was aboard.

This question needs the work "solo" to be correct.

What is the only way to destroy a diamond?
Marked correct - intense heat
Marked incorrect - Titanium Hammer

"Lots of things can destroy a diamond. Diamonds are hard, but they are not particularly resilient. You can destroy a diamond simply hitting it with another rock. It will shatter just like glass.

It's amazing how many people think that because diamonds are hard they are indestructible. It doesn't work that way. Glass for example is harder then steel, yet steel will easily shatter glass. And for exactly the same reason steel or much softer rocks will readily shatter diamond."

Considering pressure and heat are required to MAKE a diamond, I doubt that "intense heat" is correct at all - especially given that "intense" isn't defined as an actual temperature.

Another Evaluator Fail.

That quiz was right, but another one seems wrong to me:
Which programming language is universal:
1)don't remember, but a PL
2)don't remember, but a PL
3)java <- set as true answer
4)assembler
Java is not a programming language! It's SCRIPTING language and not all old computers seem to be compatible with Java virtual machine(that's why java is'n PL - you cannot create autonomous program with it - you need JVM installed on computer/smartphone ). The only universal language fo computers/phones/other microprocessor-using things is assembler, even they(assemblers) have significant differences between them.

In a deck of cards, which is the only king without a moustache?
King of Clubs
King of Spades
King of Diamonds
King of Hearts <- marked as correct

According to wikipedia this is correct, but on both of the decks of cards I could find in the house the king of harts does have a moustache so it's not quite universal.

Um...which one of them is still playing?

Obvious answer would be Jeff Van Gundy, cause he never had career worth mentioning as a player (I think he started couaching very young 20something).
But I agree poorly writen.

How did this one not get rejected due to spelling/grammar error? Replace "place" with "part" and the question is ok, but as it is it's simply wrong.
