but you just said you answered VII and the question said VI is the correct answer. And you explained that VI is the right answer, and that VII can not be. Did you mix up something?
One of the quiz questions I was asked to answer was:
Which is NOT King Henry VIII child? (or something similar)
The options given were:
Mary
Edward VI
Edward VII
Elizabeth
I answered Edward VII and I was informed that I got the question wrong and that the correct answer was Edward VI.
Edward was the third child of Henry VIII who became King Edward VI (1537 - 1553) by his third wife, Jane Seymour. Edward VI was 10 years old when he came to the throne in 1547 when his father died. Sadly Edward VI died from what was believed to be tuberculosis.
It was impossible for Edward VII to be the son of Henry VIII as he was born 6 years shy of 300 years after the death of Henry VIII. Albert Henry was born 1841 and died 1910 and became Edward VII from 1901 until his death in 1910.
Do I get compensation for the loss of soul energy?

No I did not mix this up. To get the right answer to the question I answered Edward VII. Who ever set the question put the answer as Edward VI. If you read the question, which is not a child of Henry VIII, Edward VII should have been the correct answer. I hoe this explains it better.

Only one answer had 8 at the end which i clicked....it was correct (sorry I didn't copy the question)
The answer was 1848....
When you check the actual number with Google it has it as 1898...........I thought the Roman Numeral looked like 1848 but it obviously isn't according to Google

I was given the following question "which is NOT a part of the U.K. . The four choices were Northern Ireland, England, Scotlandm and Wales.
I googled the question and all four of the answers were listed as part of the U. K.
I believe the correct answer should have been the "The Republic of Ireland".
I hope this will help improve the game.
Thanks for creating a great and enjoyable game and lets keep making it better.

The name of britain is United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So you are right Northern Ireland is part of UK, but not part of Great Britain. Maybe the question should change UK and say britain.

Bethesda
Bloodmoom
Zenimax
What is softworks? do you mean software? I looked up Bethesda and there compnay is called Bethesda Softworks, but softworks isn't another term for software. So maybe please fix this so the question isn't so confusing.

I see the correct answer (Weaver) in both UK and american sites.
Although you are right that if I just search by title, it shows a female author in the first few results. So, not an error, just not as common.

Which is not a real dinosaur? Pterodactyl is included in the choices, but is not the correct answer.
While I'm not aware of a gigasaurus, I know that pterodactyls are an extinct group of reptiles not related to dinosauria at all. Throw out the fake dino, and you have a decent question.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterosaur
It's like asking which is not a real mammal?
a) A dog
b) a bird
c) a bigfoot
d) a cat
And having the correct answer be "bigfoot"!
