What you didn't see were the condescending and dismissive e-mails sent by the game admins that basically said "If you don't like it, don't play the Quiz". European players get quiz questions that (generally speaking) cater to their geography and history, while North American players are basically told Tough Sh!t. I posted the IDENTICAL Anaheim question three times before it made it thru to the Quiz (proof that there IS no "Automated Filter" - it's ALL human decision).
Every question is "special knowledge" to someone. There probably isn't a single question in the list at 100% - and if there is, that equally defeats the purpose of a QUIZ. In the same way as I have to look up a Nobel Prize winner, and Classical Music questions, I feel no guilt if someone has to go to Wiki and look up "NHL Anaheim".
Can ANYONE legitimately tell be that I should have to answer questions that I don't know the answer to, but should not be allowed to post questions that others may not know the answer to?
PS. That Anaheim question is at 76.92% right now - a higher score than all but one if the instantly-accepted Water Polo questions.

National Hockey League (NHL) Team - Atlanta ___?
Hawks
Falcons
Thrashers
Jays
Problem is that this is an international game. This might be not so difficult for an US resident, but quite specific for an European. You are lucky that your first such question was accepted but it doesn't mean that you have to ask the hockey team of every city.
Who was Ringo Starr?
drummer for The Beatles
guitarist for Van Halen
Bass player for The Monkeys
actor in hope floats
The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
Spelling mistakes in question or answers.
