When I joined this site it ask me questions, and got all the questions right and it said i was going to start with a upper body protection with the gems on it, and i started, and no armour, and starting loseing hitpoint right away


Look at the bottom of the screen at your main character page (where you can see your level 1 mace). There should be a section called ""armour". Breastolate of doom should be there, just click on it to equip it

Ive come across 2 questions I believe should be deleted.
1st How many days did it take god to create the earth. Not realy a fact is it?
2nd What shape is a stop sign. the answer was hexagonal. where I live they are round.
regards.


The how many days one should just be corrected to ""according to the bible""

The stop sign one needs to be removed, i agree they are way too many stop signs for all to be same shape everywhere

I just got this question

what was the time Usain Bolt ran to win the 2008 Olympics in the 100m?

I don't remember all of the times. two of them where

9.68
9.58 <-- marked correct by the writer of the question.

to which the wiki site for Usain Bolt has it as 9.68 for the olympics, and he ran a 9.58 in berlin in 2009 to beat his record so the question is wrong please change the answer thanks.

What was not used for the first time in the First World War?

The answers:
Airplane
Tank
Machine gun
Rocket

There are two answers to this as the Gatling Gun was used in limited numbers during the American Civil War. The Maxim gun, the first true single barrelled machine gun, was used during the First Matabele war (1893-1895) and the Second Boer War (1900) by the British.

The answer given as correct is the Rocket, which the Chinese used in the Ninth Century.

I've had a couple of instances where I am hunting for 10 minutes (twice) but only recevie one quiz question. To be honest, it may happen when I do longer hunts but I just didn't notice because I don't keep track of how many questions come up. has anyone else experienced this?


Quote: ChaoticGemini - 2010.03.19. 19:12:55
Did you previously cancel a hunt. The system will remember previously answered questions and apply them to your next hunt, even if you cancel your current hunt.



The Lion: please check out my thread in the "Quiz" Section called "Quiz Olympics". You will see that you maybe be having a similar problem.

In what year was Hellraiser made?
1991
1987
1878
1984

While, at this point in time, the correct answer is 1987, there is a new Hellraiser being made that will come out in 2011. Perhaps it should be changed to "In what year was the first Hellraiser made?"

When we find mistakes how come the questions are not removed from the data base? I just recieved 2 questions in which i know have been proven wrong in here. One of them was the length of a football field. Answer was 100 yards but it is wrong. Not to mention it did not specify what football field. And 2 what did europeans bring to america that was not there before. Answer was horse but that is not right either. Horses have been proven to have been in the americas. The MODERN horse should be the correct answer but its not. So someone needs to get on the ball here.

God of Love.
God of Hell. <-- Marked as Correct
God of Wine.

This question is wrong on TWO parts
1) Hades was the GREEK Name, not the Roman one, which is Pluto.

2) He is the Lord of the Underworld, which consists of several diffrent subrelms, none of which are named "Hell"

There is Tartarus

We're not all Christians but I see a more than abundant amount of Biblical referances in the quizes. I'm sure there's enough whisky Drinkers on this site to justify this question.
