more than one correct answer. paris is marked as incorrect, but seeing as he killed achilles, they fought (albeit briefly and at a distance).

Post the question here, we can fix the answer. Unless it is this one:

Who is responsible for expiration dates dairy products? If thats the case it was rejected for the reason that the answer changes depending on country. Not for the fact that the wrong answer was marked.

Which of the following are DoD information classifications?
Secret and Confidential
None of the above
Outspoken and Veridict
Open and Free

Spelling - Veridict? Should it be Verdict??

Apart from that, there is no correct answer here or a confusing set of answers. The answer "Secret and Confidential" is not correct unless it is altered to 'Secret' and 'Confidential'. As it stands it appears to be a specific classification.

http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/pdf/customer/STINFOdata/DoD5200_1ph.pdf

"There are three levels of classification, “TOP SECRET”, “SECRET” and
“CONFIDENTIAL.” Do not use other terms, such as “Official Use Only,” or
“Administratively Confidential,” to identify classified national security information."

Longest tv show: Any question regarding movies, comics, books etc is restricted already to English language only. So the question does not need to specify

Plongrb or whatever it is removed

Most common name: Muhhamad seems to be a valid answer according to various sites.

Underwater ladder q removed

Redwood house q: The use of there are no stairs here is ok since it is actually the trick to the question, not just a way to avoid putting a 4th answer

Dog years: This is a common way to compare animal, usually cats and dogs, lifespan to humans. It is derived from the avg life expectancy of dog vs human. So it is a valid question

Vegetable water % : I think since most vegetables are close to 90% water anw, it is a bit difficult q to keep. Any other opinions?

I cannot find a q about who fought Achilles, only who killed Achilles. If that is the one, then Paris is correct

Alexander Dumas q: The answer is correct, as far as i could search, his birth name was the aswer given

Sultan of swing q fixed

Qatar q fixed

DoD q deleted

Hornet q changed to sting/bite

there are two different Achilles questions: who fought Achilles, and who killed Achilles. the who killed Achilles Q is fine. the who fought Achilles Q lists Hector as the correct answer. Hector fought and lost to Achilles, but Paris is also a correct answer.

What is the national bird of Argentina?

Wikipedia says that it is the Rufous Hornero, and that is not the Latin name. The quiz answer, which I luckily got correct by process of elimination, says something entirely different. Please correct.

You're correct, it's Spanish. In English, the answer is correct.

Glassblowing is a glass forming technique which was invented at approximately what year?
100 BC
50 BC
50 AD
100 AD

Given it is over 2000 years ago, surely there should be a greater gap between the BC years given. 100BC and 50BC are the same when 'approximately' comes into play!


What is Savate?
singer
food
sport
game

None of these. It is a Martial Art.

Which country? "The land of Saunas, Santa Claus and Thousands of lakes,"?
Finland
Usa
China
Sweden

First of all, Santa Claus is fake. It's Sinterklaas. And about Santa, wikipedia says this:
According to a tradition which can be traced to the 1820s, Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, with a large number of magical elves, and nine (originally eight) flying reindeer.

Second, saunas can be anywhere. I just googled "land of saunas" and I get results such as: Slovenia, Minnesota, Estonia, Finland, Belgium.
Only the thing about the lakes seems to be true. Wikipedia says this about the lakes:
Finland is known as The Land of the Thousand Lakes, (actually there are 187888 lakes in Finland, of which 60000 are large)

So I think it would be better to just ask about the lakes and forget about the rest.
