Because the batman question passed at the beginning when they were accepting more questions to fill the database. Things have changed now, it should be removed actually

Where do you get these questions?????? All should have been blocked, (ok the silver one is probably in due to the fact its a series well known to a big part of the world, not internationally though) something is going on here. I will ask Hatsepsut about it, thanxs Jerko. But go easy on the red faces, you will blow a fuse

The first question is a classic riddle. There is only one type of bear in a location you could look south in every direction. There are a few riddles in the database. They can throw you for a loop when you are in the zone of answering trivia questions.

I agree with stekkos that the TV series has played in several countries. I have personally seen it while flipping through channels in 4 countries (not all english-speaking either).


The last question is bad.

First question is mine, and all it needs is removing '

The fact that Jerko (btw, odakle si, Jerko?) didn't get the riddle, doesn't make the question wrong...

Oh, stekkos, and did u start think than lots of countries synchronize their shows, so this particular line might not be that well known? (luckily, I am not in those countries. But I still don't know the answer..)

Just saw a question I believe should not have been allowed in. It asked in the bible who killed able. Of course the correct answer is cain. But my problem with this is only a certain group of people would know this wouldn't they? Not everyone reads the bible or believes in that religion to know. I may be wrong on this and am not making a big deal about it. But do believe this shouldn't of been allowed.

Normally would agree with you, expecially when given the chance to spit in the face of Organized Religion, but I'm gonna have to say that since the Bible (Either old or new testmant, I don't remember) is the #1 Selling book in the world, and the fact that several movies (The exact number I will not reveal as that will be my next Triva question but sufice it to say ALOT) have been made from it, and the fact that some bibilical events are used as a basis for some RP Games (In Vampire: The Masqurade, Cain the biblical slayer of Abel is the first Vampire) I'd say that it's common enough use.

Someone asked 'How many Major Gods are there in Greek Mythology? The selection of answers are 12, 13, 14 and 15. The answer given was 12. But correct me if I am wrong, I believe there are 14 and they are:

Zeus - King
Hera - Queen
Aphrodite - goddess of love and beauty
Apollo - god of light, truth, healing, music, poetry and archery
Ares - god of war
Artemis - goddess of hunt, moon and children
Athena - goddess of wisdom, war, patriotism and good citizenship
Demeter - goddess of grain, agriculture and fertility
Dionysus - god of wine, vegetation and theater
Hades - god of the underworld
Hephaestus - god of forge and fire
Hermes - messenger of the gods, god of motion, travelers, commerce, thieves and sheep
Hestia - goddess of hearth and home
Poseidon - god of the sea, earthquakes and horses

as far as i know, first there were 12 Olympians who are considered to be major gods:

Zeus
Hera
Poseidon
Hermes
Hestia
Demeter
Aphrodite
Athena
Apollo
Artemis
Ares
Hephaestus

Dionysos was offered a seat later and Hades was not generally included in the twelve as spending almost all of his time in the underworld he did not have a seat in the pantheon.

Pogaxa is right, the Greek pantheon had a lot more than 12 gods but they were only 12 olympians.

As a response to your post i messaged the quiz admin and the reply i got is this:

"I don't know, there may be a problem if the evaluator makes a double click. They are corrected now."

So consider the issue resolved

Both errors you found need fixing, rest assured they will be dealt with. As help to the admins i post this from wikipedia:

""Tugela Falls is the world's second highest waterfall. The total drop in five free-leaping falls is 948 meters (3110 feet). ""

According to the original poster, the question does ask how many major greek gods, not how many original olympian gods. So, at minimum it sounds like the question should be reworded.

Here is another quiz error.

How Tall is the Statue of Liberty?

151 Feet 1 Inch
131 Feet 1 Inch
121 Feet 1 inch
141 Feet 1 Inch

the question itself is wrong, since there are more than 1 statue of liberty in the world. haven't you watched the movie National Treasure? The question should specify what statue of liberty is being talked about. But i believe this question is about the statue in U.S.A. So, to avoid misunderstanding, i believe that this question should be more specific.
