check this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistors
although the transistor was first widely noticed in 1947, the first person to come up with the idea and design of it was in 1925

well, I'm not an evaluator and do not know of what they do.

I found a Question with an error:
What is not a winter olimpic discipline?
Curling
Speed skiing<
Biathlon
Luge
This is what a quiz question claims. but technically, there is speed skiing in the winter olympics. I only got this one right because it looked like they were trying to trick me into choosing Curling or Luge. But there is downhill speed, cross country sprints and multiple versions of each. Luge is a winter olympic sport, as is the Biathalon in the usual sense (cross-country and shooting) and curling is a winter olympic sport.

the answer is 42. it requires that you have read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but although it is such a well known book, and the answer has been told even to those who didn't read it, it might have been passed.

You sir are wrong, according to Astronmy, the color of a star is determined by the temperature at which it burns. Thus why there is red, blue, white, and yellow stars. Since the sun is a star it is governed by this principle.

618

There is a question on the quiz that i just got called
"Who was the civil rights leader?"

The correct answer according to you is Martin Luther King Jr. however, Lincoln was a civil rights leader too.

What does a Hybrid vehicle run on?
gas and electricity
electricity
Ions
methane

Non of the above answers are correct.

A hybrid vehicle run on two or more fuel sources, in most cases the term refers to cars running on stored electricity combined with another fuel source.
Most hybrid vehicles run on diesel or gasoline and electricity, some might run on gas (propane) in stead of gasoline or diesel. Furthermore some test versions have been run on methane fuel cells in stead of an internal combustion engine, this might become the norm in the near future.

Another set of quizzes that I feel need commenting:

Two most famous electric guitar manufacturers are?
Yamaha and Ibanez
Fender and Gibson
Cort and Aria
Peavey and Musicman

All of the mentioned names are names of electric guitar manufacturers and as the question is worded several if not all the answers can be regarded as correct, if however the question was reworded to:
Which two are the most famous guitar manufacturers? then most would agree that "Fender and Gibson" would be the correct answer.

In what year was founded the International Red Cross?
Bad grammar, the question should be: In what year was the International Red Cross founded?

-----

What color do you get when you mix black and red?
blue
purple
green
brown

The correct answer is "dark red", not brown

The question has no real meaning, except as a literary reference, so it should probably have been worded as such:

I agree with this statment if it's kept, but I also agree with the earlier post that it is a specialized question. Yes it is a well known movie but that's like asking a Rambo question to people who don't like action movies.

And the answer "Is it so hard to google something" is a cop out, since you can, as stated in a previous comment about specilized questions, google anything. Hell if I want to find it I can google the birth name of pornstar Tera Patrick (Linda Ann Hopkins), or her ethnicity (Thai, English, Dutch), or hell, what kind of education she has (A Degree in Microbiology), or what other proffesson she is registered to go into if she were to decide to no longer do porn (She's a Registered Nurse) but if I were to ask any of those questions I'd be willing to bet that they'd be catagorized as specific knowledge because first, you'd have to know who the fuck Tera Patrick is.

Which is the least reactive, most inert, of all the elements?

Helium
Neon
Cant remember the rest but they dont matter. Those two above are the correct answers and I was told I was wrong when I put helium. they are both part of the 18 group of inert gasses so either one would be correct.Group 18, and they have full valence shells. They are not interested in loaning out or borrowning electrons, and are very stable. The gases helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon make up the inert gases. They said the correct answer was Neon but Helium is correct also.
