I was just asked what yoda was i answered jdi master from starwars, the answer became triangle, even though thart wasnt an answer possible

you clicked too fast.

Now, there was a question about ted kennedy, how long did he hold his senate seat. the answers given were more than 2 decades, 3,4,5 respectively. theoretically, three answers are correct, cause if he held it for lets say 45 years, the answer over 2 decades is still true, as is over 3 decades and over 4 decades

You may have hit the button more than once. When that happens, the system applies your answer to the next question without ever seeing what the question was.

3 more to the list:

H.P. Lovecraft is most famous by his...?
Vordolok circle - werewolves
Incubus path - monsters
Cthulhu mythos - demons
Carmilla chronicles - vampires

Specialist question, who was this H.P. Lovecraft? But hey I learned something new today.

Which one is the most famous operating system in the world?
Macintosh
AUX
Linux
Windows

There are several errors in this one, the 1st one is the use of the word "famous" in this context. Secondly, the correct answer can be argued, and finally Windows isn't an operating system as such, Windows XP, Windows NT, Windows Vista, Windows 7 etc. are, while X Windows is a GUI for Linux/unix.

Which is the most used operating system in the world?
Macintosh OS
AUX
Linux
MS Windows NT/XP/Vista/7 etc.

two ones this time:
How many sons did Noah have?
12
7
Only had daughters
3
This is wrong in two ways. first, Noah should be 'Noah of the Ark' to cover ambiguities, and he had 4 sons, but one of them wasn't a believer, so didn't survive.

Which country developed the best submarines during WW2(World War 2)??
Germany
England
Japan
USA

This is a matter of controversy, because the submarines never met all of the other country's in battle (especially not SA v. England or Japan v. Germany) in my opinion, Germany was most EFFECTIVE in submarine warfare, but I thought best = American and I was right?! (I'm American, so of course I go for the USA)

What is the title of Ozzy Osbourne?
Lawbreaker
The Prince of Darkness
Ozzmosis
Lord of Dumbness

Ozzy Osbourne does not hold a title as such, he has made several (as in titles of songs and albums, one of witch is Ozzmosis) he is also known as the "Godfather of Heavy Metal" and "Prince of Darkness", witch is not the same as any of them being his title. You could say some have given him those two "titles" but they are not the title of Ozzy Osbourne.

Noah of the Ark would be a more specific wording, but i do not think i was too confusing. As for the answers, The Bible states clearly that he had 3 sons and all survived.

Submarines at WW2 were a German thing hands down, although i do not like or admire the Nazis. The USA is currently the best but at that point Germany was better technologically, not only at subs but at planes and tanks. At least for most of the war. Is not a matter who would win on a 1-1 battle, the overall quality and breakthroughs of their war scientists UNFORTUNATELY was unmatched, creating submarines years ahead of their time.

Hey, i looked it up and you are 100% right! I thing the question should be changed to What is A title of.... and remove either Ozzmosis or the Prince of Darkness to avoid conflicts.

Question was

What is Dihydrogen Monoxide

The answer was water.

I believe this to be wrong and think the answer should be a toxic substance

The answer is correct, is just a trick question. Water is H2O Worded chemically it is Dihydrogen (meaning 2 Hydrogens or H2) and Monoxide (meaning 1 oxygen or O)

I just had this question:

"What country has the highest number of children being adopted?"

First: The question is inaccurate: are we talking internal or international adoptions, are we talking receiving or giving, and what year?

Second: The answer as given by the quiz is Ethiopia, but as China has a high rate of internal and international adoption and is one of the two most populous countries, it has for several of the recent years held the title as the country having most children up for adoption.

Third: The answer cannot be expected to stay the same.

In what country are this years winter olimpic games?
USA
France
Canada
Norway

Only valid in 2010! and misspelled: it's spelt Olympic

What are the names of the 2 main characters in the book: Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow?
Evangeline and Joseph
Evangeline and Paul
Pierre and Evangeline
Gabriel and Evangeline

This might be trivial question somewhere in the world, but who is Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, I found the right answer with google, but in my opinion it's a specialist or regional question.

And also there already exists a question asking which city will host the 2010 winter olympics

This is partially incorrect as he does have a title "Sir John Michael Osborne", as he's been knighted. It's just not on this list.


Though if they wished to word the question correctly they could have asked "What is the most Commonly known (Or Popular) Nickname of Ozzy Osbourne

There is a question asking what "La Giaconda"[sic] is better known as (Mona Lisa).
The correct spelling is "La Gioconda" in Italian or "La Joconde" in French.
