Who shot Baldr, the Norse god of light, beauty, love and happiness?

Loki, the mischief-maker
The blind god Höðr
His mother Frigg
The dwarf Litr

According to evaluators your question is ambiguous.

Why is this question ambiguous?? I don't know how many Norse gods there are named Baldr who were shot?

Which one of these statements is not true?

Most corporations pay no income tax
work kills more people than war
DNA evidence is 100% accurate
Using sunscreen can cause cancer

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
Your answers are ambiguous or wrong to this question.




please explain what u r talking about, these general blow offs need to come with some kind of explaination or something.

how is this uninteresting lexical knowledge? it's a classic brain teaser about positive hypothesis testing, not about knowledge at all:

If I draw 5 5-centimeter horizontal lines and lay them over 5 5-centimeter vertical lines, forming a perfect 4x4 grid, how many squares have I drawn?

25
16
30
36

Which one is the wrong one? I can find information suggesting that all are ok, while other sites suggest that more than one of these statements are wrong.

I guess I won't get an answer to this because those who rejected it have other interests.

What was the name of the cartoon hero Fat Albert and his friends would run home to watch on Saturdays?

Black Avenger
Brown Hornet
The Green Hornet
Ghetto Gangsta "G" and the Hood Honeys

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
According to evaluators only a special group of people might know the answer.

and who would that be restrictred to people who watch cartoons???? How bout sports or video game questions, I dont play alot of those or keep track of world sports, but thats not a special group right, some of the evaluators need to pull their heads out of their a$$ and stop the Bu!!$h@@. If you have issues with quizzes there needs to be consistancy and atleast point out what u feel the problem is. I swear it would save some time and we could really weed out those that really need to stick to playin and not judging!!
I'm open to suggestions and criticism but a general No because i said so isnty going to cut it. We take the time to come up with a question you can be specific as to why it wont work.

Really? For real,and where were you getting your info, DNA is not 100% proof, thats been proven a ton of times. Several test have proven sunscreen is the cause of more cancer than what the sun does, don't look at surveys paid for by the sunscreen companies tho i think they might be a touch bias. Big corporations pay little or no tax at all, The reason: to say they can keep their product cheap and affordable, economics would help on this i understand, and there is more deaths related to work accidents than any war to date world wide. The only one that is completely false is the DNA answer and that shouldnt even be close to questionable.

As of June 1010 which country has the most world cups?
England
Spain
Germany
Brazil


I just answered this question and want to know how it ever got excepted? Where is the answer none of the above soccer wasn't around in 1010 and if there was we cant find any stats to properly answer that???????!!!!!!!
Incredible.. that is a prime example of where frustration comes from.

@V3nG3nC3X: I understand your problem, since I have the same. Questions about "peanuts" aren't only for a limited group of people who know the answer. I got a question about some tsech who wrote a book :s I get questions about the strangest creatures on earth named by their latin name. ... But a question about the Norse myths is ambiguous. There must be lots of different Norse myths and gods I guess.

Who said that the Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire?

Plato
Saddam Hussain
G. W. Bush
Voltaire

-------------------------------------

How is this "ambiguous?

Let's check out the answers:

Plato died in 348 BC which is long before the Holy Roman Empire started 962 AD (Otto I).

It's doubtful that Saddam Hussain can speak enough English or G.W. Bush to have enough brain cells to understand what was said. Either way I doubt that either of them had heard/knew enough of the Holy Roman Empire to make such a comment.

Voltaire was a French Enlightenment writer and philosopher famous for his wit and for his advocacy of civil liberties, including freedom of religion and free trade. He was an outspoken supporter of social reform, despite strict censorship laws and harsh penalties for those who broke them. As a satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma and the French institutions of his day.

Still not convinced?

Try searching it on the net... I just checked on the first page & every site had the answer listed within the first paragraph.

I wrote a "peanuts" question also because I figured the age range on this game to be somewhere between 11-30 on average and figured"who dosent know about Snoopy or Charlie Brown?". Apparently everyone but the evaluator who decides on "peanuts" questions. What a crock of $h!@t. Cartoons for gods sake!! I have answered Bleach, ghost in a shell, Full metal Alchemist and several other anime questions but i guess classic cartoons except Scooby Doo are specialist questions, Its enough to piss off the Pope!! Lucky for me i had to take medical and anatomy classes for my career or i wouldn't have a clue with some of the Med specialist questions. I should start writing car mechanic questions and assume since everyone drives or wants to drive a car they have extensive knowledge of all the parts and how it runs!! Maybe i wont get so frustrated unless i get that one evaluator from a third world country where they only have bikes or ride Zebras everywhere they go!! Good luck to you my friend in your quest for fairness on these quizes!!

I guess the moderators missed their chemistry classes in school. Good that they didn't miss their sport-trivia classes (/sarcasm).

Yet I can answer questions about current Metallica members, former Metallica members, who is NOT a former Metallica member and Metallica songs.
Fuck off. Seriously.

I'm re-posting this question. This song is a pop classic - commonly used in tv & movies, and other pop culture venues. Even if you don't know the answer, the title is the first Google listing.

And I just got this gem: Who wrote, "Still life with woodpecker"?
So mine gets rejected, and this passes. THIS bullshit is why I've stopped writing questions.

Can the Mod that evaluated my question:

Who said that the Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire?

care to say why, or are you so ashamed that you'd rather not come forward?

To be honnest, this way of evaluating questions is a joke, nothing more. You don't get decent feedback at all. Nobody it watching this forum. Some very good questions get rejected because only a few people know about it. But when you play the game you do get questions like: what personal item belonging to Churchil was sold on an auction??? I think those who vote for these questions are only interested in thing they happen to know about.

I just realized this was in my quiz list and I am curious why it was done and why I wasn't given a chance to re-write the question.

********************************************************************************
Evaluation of your last question is "Bad, incorrect question".
Based on the Laws of Attraction, the North Pole could also be called...

This question is withdrawn from the database, because 75% of the respondents did not know the answer.
********************************************************************************

Do you mean to tell me that this question was pulled from the database because 75% of the people asked don't know the basic rule of oppposites attract ????
And, because of their apparent lack of knowledge that I am once again penalized with a black mark on my record????
And people wonder why the forums are so hot with upset people...

There are multiple search engines out there including Google, Yaho, Bing, Ask, etc:..., and yet the mods cannot find these answers easily. I guess we will need to make our questions easier to find answers to.
My next question will probably be something like ' what is the sum of 2+2?' Of course that will be evaluated as specific knowledge known only by a select few ... yeah ... only those with at least 5 total fingers or toes !!!

The questions being withdrawn when 75% do not know the answer is automatic. You do not get penalized. You should have already gotten the reward. The filter was put in place to drop out extremely difficult or incorrect questions. I'm sure many of the good question writers have had some good questions that get dropped by the 75% clause.

Ok... I just went from pissed to livid.

Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

St. Petersburg (Not Leningrad)

This got rejected AGAIN (and I just re-posted it again, so just pass the damn thing) - in spite of the fact that:
Even if you don't know the lyric
Even if you don't know the band
There is only one actual song on the list!!!
The rest are all made up!!!!!!!


But then I get these two:
Who fought "Radar Men From The Moon"?
- Never saw the show. The name of the show isn't mentioned. How can I answer this?

In Stephen King's "The Dark Half", what do the arrival of sparrows represent?
- How the FUCK do you answer this without reading the damn book???


The standards are so screwed up that the quiz is just a joke. It really is.

if it was rejected once, why did you try it again? do you test us if we let it go next time?
even if it's obviously a google-able answer, it's a special knowledge. you'll get this rejected, no matter how much you try posting it.
