THIS QUIZ PASS THE quiz-filter?!?!?!?!

by the way is 100th aniversary on 4th december

Ok, so you pass a question asking which NHL team is having their 101st anniversary (it's actually correct, last year was the Canadiens [spelling error] 100th Season)... But my question asking what the team name for the Anaheim [Ducks] is kicked for being too obscure???

I call bullsh!t!

you are right

Question:

What is the name of the Philippine president, also known as the Icon of Democracy?

According to a Google-found CIA report, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is the Philippine president, but the question said that was wrong. I don't if the question is outdated, or if the CIA just got its facts wrong. It wouldn't be the first time the CIA was wrong, lol.



Question:

Which is not a data storage device?

It said a file drive is not a storage device (actually, it kinda is), but one of the options is a floppy drive. A floppy 'drive' is not a data storage device. A floppy 'disk' is, the drive is for reading and writing data on a floppy disk, it doesn't store anything.

I typed "Icon of Democracy Philippine" to google and there was only 1 name for me:
"Former Philippine President Corazon Aquino was remembered as an icon of democracy..."

The question does not state that the person is still a president. Just think about it. "What is the the name of the US persident, who was murdered..." I guess the question is right, but we can be sure he is not a pres. anymore.


I think you are right. floppy drive is an input/output devices and not a storage device. That should be corrected.

In that case, the question should be changed to either:

Which Philippine president is known as the Icon of Democracy?

or:

What is the name of the Philippine president (who is) known as the Icon of Democracy.

The comma really is the main problem.

As for "What is the name of the US president, who was murdered...". Again, unnecessary comma, but also more than one president has been murdered. So, bad example.

I don't mean to sound smug, so I'm sorry if I do.

I'm sure this one was right when it was written, but:

Which publisher has the rights for the famous mutant team, the X-Men?
DC Comics
IDW Comics
Marvel Comics
Avatar Comics


It doesn't really need to be changed, but I just thought I'd point out that the correct answer, Marvel Comics, was (somewhat recently) bought by Disney. So, yeah.

Nowadays the terminals of the Trans-siberian Railway are in the cities of?


More than one of the answers were correct! And besides, who the bloody hell knows this? Oh, and 'siberian' should be capitalized.

But it's still Marvel Comics, isn't it?

When were Eastern- and Western Germany united again?

1986
1983
1989
1992



Germany was officially united at 00:00 CET on 3 October 1990

And now I don't even get a reason for questions being rejected. Because they KNOW they can't say "only a special group"... They just don't want to accept my questions. Is this really a game people want to support?


National Hockey League (NHL) Team - Boston ___?

Bears
Bruins
Grizzlies
Polar Bears

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!

Well all - I quit.

The Quiz system has alienated me to the point where I refuse to be part of this game any more.

For example, questions that have been accepted:
What NBA team does Ray Allen play for
Who is the leading scorer in NBA history [set ~20 years ago]
What NHL team is celebrating their 101st anniversary
What NHL team won the 2008 Stanley Cup
Who won the 2008 F1 Championship
What is the width of a soccer net
What was the nickname of the Hungarian soccer team that went undefeated in 35 matches in the 1950's

Examples of questions that I have submitted that have been rejected:
National Hockey League - Anaheim ____ (repeat for Atlanta, Boston and Buffalo, as well as soccer's Tottenham, just to test)
Who is the Career Goaltending Wins leader in the NHL [set last year]
What is the size of a water polo net


Now, do you see the similarities between the two sets? Would you consider the first set or the second set to be more "only a specialized group would know the answer". At first glance (and 2nd, 3rd and 4th) the second set is clearly the easier set of questions, with answers as easy or easier than the first set to research online. However, it has become clear that my questions are not even being fairly reviewed - merely rubber-stamped "Reject" - largely because I am focusing on a largely North American sport.

Note that I asked 6 Water Polo questions before one was rejected - all of which FAR more difficult to research an answer to than ANY of the NHL questions I have posted. This is, for lack of a better term, racism against their North American audience. Hungary is a Water Polo powerhouse - therefore, those questions are passed thru the system with ease. Yet the NHL questions are instantly blocked. This is a form of (at worst) Racism, and at minimum, Prejudice.

And this doesn't come close to addressing the massive disparity between ridiculously special-knowledge questions involving Dragonlance, European historical figures, Nobel winners, obscure literary works, Television shows seen in only one country and the myriad of other absurd questions (not to mention all the questions with the wrong answers).

I would like to call for all those who are frustrated with the quiz system that this game so blatantly abuses, to simply walk away. Hopefully all you have invested is your time, and you will realize as I have that time is precious, and frustrating time is purely wasted time. There are many hundreds of other free online games, and one such as this that clearly makes no attempt to be fair and non-prejudicial does not deserve one penny of your cash, nor one minute of your time. This is YOUR game - because without you, there is no game. Therefore, please take ownership of your right to fight Racism and Prejudice, and not support this game a moment longer.

What is What is the largest desert on Earth?
Rub'al Khali
Kalahari
Sahara =RIGHT ANSWER
Gobi

The largest desert on Earth is Antarctica!!!!

Where to be found the first evidence of human presence, Peking Man, estimated to have lived from 300,000 to 550,000 years ago?
Africa
Zhoukoudian cave, China
Saigon, Vietnam
Beijing, China

Besides the bad grammar, this question has two accurate answers. It was found in Zhoukoudian Cave near Beijing.


Why do we have the quiz errors forum? The question about the largest desert has been posted as wrong by several people, yet it appears to keep showing up in the quiz.

OJ!

I have reported this and it is still not corrected :
What was the cause of death of Magic Johnson ( basketball)?
AIDS
car accident
cancer
leukemia

MAGIC is NOT dead!!!

Caesar Augustus, Octavius and Julius Caesar would be nicer

How many members does a jury have in the USA?

This is an inaccurate question. It does not say what kind of trial and the jurisdiction in the USA. In minor jury cases there could be only 6. Felony and criminal cases generally have 12. A federal grand jury is anywhere from 16 to 23. They all also assign alternate members.

Which is the most popular language?

How can you measure popularity of an language? The question is pretty stupid, and the answer is mandarinian or something. I guess most people speak that language, in which case the question is not well written!

Could be a stupid question. I typed "most popular languages" to google. The very first site said this (http://geography.about.com/od/culturalgeography/a/10languages.htm):

Aug 23 2007
Here's a listing of the ten most popular languages spoken worldwide, along with the approximate number of primary or first language speakers for that language.

1. Mandarin Chinese - 882 million
2. Spanish - 325 million
3. English - 312-380 million
4. Arabic - 206-422 million
5. Hindi - 181 million
6. Portuguese - 178 million
7. Bengali - 173 million
8. Russian - 146 million
9. Japanese - 128 million
10. German - 96 million

The 2nd site (http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0775272.html):

Mandarin Chinese tops the list of most popular world languages, with over a billion speakers. English trails in third place, with just over 320 million speakers. This data includes all speakers of the languages, not only native speakers.

Both seem to be an american site. Time to blame them

Really? Capitalizing the word "inch" in an answer gets rejected, but this makes it through?!!



It should read:



It would actually be better to say died, since "passed" is being used euphemistically.
