I just submitted the question: The first facsimile machine was invented by Alexander Bain when? I actually wanted to use the word fax instead of facsimile, but the system said it was banned. In actuality fax is just the now common accepted word for facsimile, but I did not want my question rejected just because people didn't recognize facsimile. I have no clue why fax is banned.

How much more SE you gain if you answer corectly to hunt questions ?
30%
5%
20%
10%

there is already one question asking this, and it's correctly



It should also say will you gain or do you gain. yes i know nit picking about people not knowing proper english. But the fact that there are multiple mistakes in this questions makes me wonder how in the hell it got through. And on a side note I may not be the first to say this but i think the quiz section should be taken out all together. The fact you have it in all english(and are apparentlly grading it in supposed english) seems to offend a multitude of people you have playing this game. Just seems like a hassle if you ask me.

Which of the following NFL players has 3 Superbowl MVP trophies?

Please delete it .


I don't know or care about Literature - please delete ALL the literature questions. Oh, and please delete Mythology as well. And I know a lot of people are sick of the geography questions, so please randomly delete at least half. And if we're kicking US Football questions, please also delete Euro Football questions.

In fact, let's just delete ANY question that SOMEONE might not know the answer to... We wouldn't want to offend anyone's fragile egos by telling them they had a wrong answer!

Actually, the problem is in the grammar of the question:
Robert Block wrote a book about a motel and it's murderous owner named?

The question, as it's currently phrased, is asking for the name of the murderous owner (which would be something Bates, as I recall), not the name of the book. Properly phrased, it should read something to the effect of:
What is the title of the book, written by Robert Black, about a motel and it's murderous owner?

The fastest animal on two legs is what?

Ostrich <-- marked as correct
Peregrine falcon
Chimpanzee
Kangaroo

Actually, peregrine falcon is certainly fastest animal here - when it's flying. Question should either specify that it asks about land speed or falcon should be removed from answers.

I have keys but no lock, space but no room, you can enter but not come in - at least I think this is the question and the answer is "computer". WRONG. Computers do have locks - I lock mine everyday before leaving work. This question should be removed. I actually thought the answer would be keyboard (but those have caps lock and scroll lock so...)

This is actually incorrect, but in this instance our Failing Education System who refuses to change what it teaches despite things like Evidence

Heinrich Gobal is in fact the man who invented the Lightbulb
