In the cinema version of The Lord of the Rings, what form did the firework lit by Merry and Pippin take?

isn't that question pretty much the definition of specialized knowledge? the question is not about the plot or main characters. it's about the specific visuals of a particular movie scene.

This is the thread for errors already in the database. There is a "My quiz question was rejected" thread. Also, a couple of the evaluators keep a "why did i reject a question" thread. Your answer is there:

What purpose did Malamutes have in World War 2?
Gaurd Dogs
Search & Rescue <---
*2 other choices*

Guard is spelled wrong and the question is ambiguous. All the breed history sites say, "During World War II, Malamutes were inducted into the army for the purpose of guarding installations in their native Alaska." Trying to find more info, I come across wikipedia (hardly reliable) lists, "...in World War II primarily as search and rescue dogs in Greenland, although also used as freighting and packing dogs in Europe"

Nobody says "I'm having acid reflux." They say "I'm having heartburn." Either way, the technical term for what they are having is GER. Hence, GER is more commonly known as heartburn. If acid reflux were listed as a wrong choice, you'd have a case.

which company introduced the first personal computer ?
IBM <---
Apple
commodore
*one other popular brand*

This question has no easy answer, but ignores a lot of computer history.
Sphere 1 (1975) has been called the first true Personal Computer by Byte (magazine) in its commemoration issues (every 5 years). Before that, the personal computers were marketed and sold as an electronic kit. Another contender for the title, according to the Computer History Museum, is the Kenbak-1 (first sold in 1971). The Xerox Alto (1973) was the first to use a mouse, the desktop metaphor, and a GUI. There was a Micral in 1973 that, if memory serves, was the first commercial non-assembly computer. IBM would be one of the last in a long list of personal computer milestones.

How high is the highest peak in the European Union?
Mount Blanc -8848
Mount Everest - 4810
Mount Blanc - 4810
Mount Everest - 8848

Waste of time putting numbers without any unit of height beside them. Both Mt Blanc answers can be correct without this to accurately pose the question.

Alanis question fixed with no capital letters but Ontario is ok, it does not say which of the FOLLOWING countries, only which country.

Mount Blanc question deleted by mistake (still learning the interface, i apologise)

Indiana Jones question is correct, George Lucas created the character but spielberg directed all the movies

Malamutes spelling error fixed, but i need some second opinion by a player on the correctness of the comment.
