It's not true. Before, the game was divided into halves, but now, it is divided into quarters. Only difference is school and college basketball, where there are variations in number of quarters (halves), and the duration of each (together with 10 minutes for international and 12 for the NBA). But for the senior basketball, standard rules are quarters

I just got this question

The oceans cover about what percentage of Earth?

80%
70%
71%
75%

This is the same as the question about what percentage of the Earth is cvered in water. the only difference is the lazy person who wrote this new question says the answer is 71% instead of the 70% the older question has.

I bring this up because I have seen increase in this rewording of a question. It is starting to get ridiculous.

I just got this question.

Who is Derrick in the popular German TV series?

policeman
spaceman
nurse
actor

To someone who is not German this is a little confusing, is the show also called Derrick? Not saying this totally a bad question, just needs to be reworked so it can be eaiser to find the answer for none Germans or people who get German television.

Who is NOT related to Darth Vader in the Star Wars movies?

Queen Amidala
Luke Skywalker
Princess Leia Organa
Han Solo

The correct answer which I got was Han Solo, and I was able to infer what the author of this meant. But techincally it has two answers, since when Padme Amidala was the queen of Naboo she had no relationship with Darth Vader AKA anakin Skywalker other than a friend. They didn't get married until after she was just a senator. So I would just suggest changing the Queen part to her first name instead to cause less confusion.

Technically you are right but it doesnt change the fact that Solo NEVER had a relationship and noone will consider another answer....

With what did most people write before the invention of the pen?
A stick
A piece of bone
A special stone
A feather

I'm pretty sure all of these were used at one point in time. In fact, a feather is pretty much the only one that can't really be used without dipping it in some type of ink or dye. Well, depends on the stick I suppose. I suppose it's kind of easy to figure out what the player was looking for...

Just got this question.

A Truck Has What As It's Brakes?

Kenetic Brakes
Hydrolic Brakes
Air Brakes
Hydro Brakes

What type of truck? passenger truck, light truck, semi truck? 18 wheeler? Also most of these types can have either hydrolic or air brakes so this question should be marked as bad and reworked.

What is bigamy?
Being married to a person of the same sex
Being married to more than one person at the same time <==
Being married to a person that does not live with you
Being married to a close relative

It is none of these. Bigamy is being married to exactly 2 person, while POLYGAMY is being married to more than one person at the same time (given correct answer for this Q)

The law term refers to the situation of marrying another person while being married to one. If you marry more you are guilty of MULTIPLE accounts of bigamy and thats how i meant it But if the admins what to make the answer "Being married to 2 persons at the same time" i will not mind

There are two different questions:
Who got the most olympic medals? AND Who got the most olympic gold medals?
And the answer is not the same.
