Thank you for the appreciation, who are you in game though?

Idézet: Boar - 2011.09.03. 05:43:15

This quiz does not attempt to be up to a level of difficulty, if a question is good it does not matter if it is very easy. Although jelly and jello is a bit too much, will fix that

There are 2 steps of a ladder underwater on a boat. If the water rises 1 step per 30 minutes, how many steps will be underwater after 1.5 hours?
4
2<----------marked as correct
6
5

This is annoying. Either there is not enough information in the question or the answer is wrong. The answer '2' would only be correct if the first sentence read "There are both steps..." which would indicate it was a 2 step ladder. As this is not the case the assumption must be that there are more steps than 2. The answer '2' is supposing that the boat rises along with the ater. However, the question states categorically that the water rises at 1 step per 30 minutes. This means that the boat must get lower in the water. If it said "at the rate of" then the boat would remain floating as normal. The grammar of the question is incorrect.

I didn't think it had 'none of the above' as an answer. personally, I like this gentle lateral thinking style of question!

I can get to the Union Jack question, but I don't get what is wrong with it. From everything I read to confirm an answer, it seems both Union Flag and Union Jack are acceptable.

The steps of the ladder question, I found just as annoying. It is already close to max characters, so any idea how to re-write it?

Kermit the frog: changed the disney choice to something else.

Idézet: ChaoticGemini - 2011.09.07. 05:44:15

Just delete it. Why keep a question, for which one should remember incorrect answer to pass through?
