I just got a question asking how many us presidents there have been?

Since Obama is the 44th that should be the correct answer, but it says it is 43. This needs to be fixed.

[quote]Which of the following events had happened earlier?
American Civil War
The Discovery of America
World War I
Birth of Edgar Alan Poe[/quote]

They have all happened before today. And they happened in a certain order so for instance the birth of Edgar Alan Poe happened earlier then WWI...

Correct question should be Which of the following events happened earliest...or at least something in that direction.

Which visible light has the shortest wavelength?

Ultraviolet
Red
Yello
Blue

It said that the answer was 'blue' but I found out that 'violet' has the shortest wavelength

ultraviolet isn't in the visible wave spectrum. So the key term is visible

I have just had the US Presidents question aswell... this needs to be changed... Obama is the 44th president!

And there will be 45th, 46th... this question should be removed completely

Bad Question!
Which actress is NOT Canadian?
Possible answers were:
Margot Kidder
Kim Cattrall
Sandra Bullock
and another.

Imagine my surprise as I selected Kim Cattrall as being NOT Canadian only to be told I was wrong!
Kim Cattrall was born in Liverpool, England, United Kingdom and MOVED to Canada as a child.
Somebody didn't do their homework I think.

Very nice of you to suppose our game will be so succesful.
(However you are right, I removed the question.)

Just had this question

What do spiders and scorpions have in common?

Both of them swim
They are both part of the same species group
They both can kill a man with their poison
Both of them make webs

Well there are 2 answers that are right.....(same species group) and (kill a man with poison)

I only chose same species group but what would happen if i chose both could kill a man would i be right also?

Which country invented gunpowder used in warfare and produced a variety of gunpowder weapons, including flamethrowers, rockets, bombs, and mines? Answers include: China, Russia, USA and something else.

Flamethrowers and Bombs have been around since first century AD. Greek Fire was used by the Byzantines and used in the first flamethrowers mankind has seen 800 years before the Chinese. Greek fire was also used to create grenades (bombs) 800 years before the Chinese. In 917 AD the Chinese flamethrowers were based off of the Greek Fire machines and did in fact not use gunpowder at all.

Additionally, I forgot who mentioned this but I did intend Gaul, not Gual.

I was presented with the following question, which, when answered, I was informed I got wrong?

How many planets are there is the solar system?
7
8 - The author of the question chose this to be the correct answer.
10
9 - I selected this answer

Not including the sun you have Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto = 9 planets in the solar system.

Pluto was removed from the list of planets in our solar system due to a decision made by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) during a meeting in 2006. The IAU is made up of Astronomers from all over the world, and the desicion has much debate, but at the same time it was in every major newpaper in America, as well as everymajor televised news broadcast at least breifly touched on it. If you don't believe me just google it

I just had the question: "Which colours make brown?" (sorry I can't remember the exact wording of the question)

Red & Black (was the correct reply)
- Hmm... Any color mixed with black becomes a darker shade of the same color, so Red & Black mixed would have been Dark Red.

The correct answer:
its actually all of the primary colours mixed together evenly (Red, Blue & Yellow)
or
mixing complimentary colours (opposite colours on a colour wheel)
- eg. Red & Green/ Yellow & Purple/ Blue & Orange.

I did Google it when I found out that I got the answer wrong!!!

wiki.answers states it is 9!!!

According to Wikipedia: it was, until 2006 the solar system's ninth planet, until the IAU defined the term 'planet'

I just have to post my two cents.

M4jor P4yne was right about the spider question being a bad question. There is no such thing as a "species group." The closest thing to a "species group" would be a genus, and at that level scorpions and spiders share no close ancestry. A proper answer could be, "They are both members of the same class." Also there are no such things as poisonous spiders, poisonous scorpions, or poisonous snakes. Similarly there are no such things as venomous ivy, venomous dart frogs, or venomous mushrooms. Poison and venom are not interchangeable words.

I have another beef with a question that states that the Roman God of War was named after the planet Mars. Hopefully, I misread that question. That's like saying the Nordic God of Thunder was named after the day of Thursday.
