What is the new "profession" of Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Waiter.
Terminator.
Lawyer.
Governor of California. X(marked correct)

This question is wrong. Governor of California is not a profession, it is a job. Arnold's new profession would be politician.

Examples of professions: Lawyers, Engineers, Professors, Military Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers, and Qualified Teachers, Architects, Accountants, Notaries, Advocates, Actuaries, Dentists, Midwives, Pharmacists, Scientists, Nurses and Physicians.(from wikipedia and common knowledge)

In the United States, the title governor refers to the chief executive of each state or insular territory, not directly subordinate to the federal authorities, but the political and ceremonial head of the state. (from wikipedia)

No kiefer was born in london while his parents were working there, so he has both british and canadian citizenship, but his nationality is canadian. Just cause you are born somewhere else while your parents are on the job doesn't mean you lose the nationality your parents are.

Yes, he is born in the UK, yet he has both British and Canadian citizenship.

Quote from Wikipedia:
"He has Scottish ancestry from both parents and is the grandson of Canadian politician Tommy Douglas, who brought universal health care to Canada. Sutherland and his twin sister, Rachel, were born in London (in Saint Mary's Hospital, Paddington) while his parents were working there. As a result, he is both a British citizen (by jus soli) and a Canadian citizen (by jus sanguinis)."

I only stated the question cause I was confused, not that I wanted to make it invalid.

Donald and Kiefer Sutherland, father and son actors, are of which nationality?

American
British
Canadian
Australian

The problem is that Kiefer Sutherland is British and Donald is Canadian... And the marked correct answer is Canadian... So what about the British one?


Kiefer has Brit AND Canadian Citizenship, but never actually lived in England for a notable amount of time. It's commonly accepted that he and his father are Canadian.

I had already questioned this earlier. Yes Keifer was born in Britain but he retained his parent's nationality 'Canadian'. If you have doubts then let me inform you that my father is Welsh, my mother is English. Both served in the Royal Signals and were stationed in Germany in 1965 when I was born in RAF (H) Wegberg Moenchengladbach. Although, I was born in Germany, I am classed as British because of my parents and that the base I was born on was under British rule. I could, and I am sure that Keifer can do the same, and claim duel nationality.

Who was the first president of the United States of America?
Abraham Lincoln
George Washington <-- Marked as Correct
Thomas Jefferson
John Adams

The question either needs to be changed to ask "Who was the first President of the United States of America under the United States Constitution, or it needs to be deleated, because George Washington was the first President under the United States Constitution. John Hanson was in fact the first President of the United States of America.

My understanding is John Hanson's title was President of Congress, so the question is fine as is.

Sorry Twink...but technically, Hanson was elected as "President of the Continental Congress"... not "President of the United States".
There is a difference...

Sorry Jon, I completely overlooked your response...

Evaluators not doing your job properly ... Again.

I was asked the following two questions:

'What Was The real name Of Mahatma Ghandi ?' His correct surname is Gandhi.

'What was the book titled "The Modern Prometheus" better know as?' This should read What was the book titled "The Modern Prometheus" better known as?

Martin Luther is credited with starting the protestant reforms by nailing his 95 theses to the church door, what is the name of that church?

Wittenburg Church <-- marked as correct
St. Michael's
Sistine Chapel
San Marcos Basilica

It's wrong on two counts. First, it's located in Wittenberg, not Wittenburg which is different town altogether. Second, proper church name is either All Saints' Church or Castle Church (Schlosskirche in German).

2 Questions I have a problem with...

1) What natrual disaster recently hit Haiti

Although technically correct TODAY, what happens if a hurricane strikes during the hurricane season?

2) what animal walks on four legs in the morning, two mid-day and three in the evening? (something like this)

Answer was given as human. Humans have 4 legs? WTF am I then, an alien? I have 2 legs and 2 arms I do not have 4 legs and have never actually seen a four legged human so how is this right?

Because it's a question about Hungary - they all get approved automatically.

I could write a question "On my last European holiday, how many days did I spend in Hungary?", and that would be approved.

That riddle is totally wrong.

It's supposed to be:

4 legs when born, 2 as it grows, 3 when its old.

Meaning, crawl as a baby, walk during much of ones life, and walking with a cane when one is old.
