perhaps it's because a chestnut is both a tree and a nut, i dunno.

If that's true then it is yet another poor response from the evaluators. An Acorn is an old type of computer, if you want to go looking for invented reasons to reject it. This is a perfectly good question, based on the little known fact that an almond is a seed, not a nut. My guess is that whoever evaluated it thought that an almond was a nut, and rejected it because they didn't understand it. But that's just a guess, and that's my main grouch with the evaluation system - questions get rejected or accepted more or less at random, and we are left to guess.

Britain invaded which island in May 1940?

Crete
Malta
Iceland
Hong Kong

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
Spelling mistakes in question or answers.

Please explain the spelling mistake.

I can't see anything wrong with this - an excellent question, by the way, it has taught me a bit of trivia that I did not know before, and I am pretty well up on WW2 history. Maybe the evaluator thought "Iceland" was a mis-spelling of "Island", but who knows. This is one of the worst aspects of this game, you can have a perfectly good question rejected, and you never even get to find out the reason. Whatever is wrong with this question, it's not spelling - fix the system for 2012, folks.

Well oddly enough, I just got this question to answer - did you re-submit it? As far as I can see, the wording was exactly the same.

The largest margin of victory in a NFL Super Bowl as of Super Bowl XLVI was?

36 points
45 points
18 points
73 points

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

There's a lot of sports questions like this already in the database, are those going to be removed? Is the "special group of people" pertaining to those that know how to use Google?

What is the spelling error here? I can't see it, but it was rejected for a spelling error.

1 MORE TO ADD.

AND ALSO GOT A THREAT FROM THE GAME
Attention: Please try to ask respondable questions, and take care to mark the good answer. If you do not take care, you may lose the opportunity to write questions in the future, and you may also lose the opportunity to acquire soul energy this way.

Do you think Above questions are not respondable..... Also I have marked the correct Answers too....

There is some fishy thing going around in Quiz Section.....

This is not a good reason Dates are filne

Doomlord forum -> Doomlord Game Forums -> Quiz -> Quiz evaluation rules and updates

3. History: Events from any part of the world are ok as long as they had a major impact at least on one nation or country. Inventions, wars, natural disasters, politics, anything is good as long as it follows that rule. Example of bad question: ""What year did the 12th president of X country died"" Dates should be widely spaced, so if something happened at 1809, put as answers at least (approximate suggestions)1830, 1809, 1821, 1789, not 1809, 1810, 1808,1807. The idea is that a player that has some idea of the event to make an educated guess, not scroll through google to find the date.

And was still rejected after changes.

I have seen much worse that were actually used, both with gramatical and spelling errors.

i dont know who checks the submitted quiz questions but he sure does not know how to search in google.i submitted the question-
___________ invented the number zero.

Aryabhatta
Archimides
Pythagoras
God


Aryabhatta is the correct answer but even though i marked that the moderator sais i was ambiguous or wrong to this question.

The questions are accepted from those who are in premium or buying ancient stones....the game makers are cxysafasf in their head...


Edited by: Kethios
Reason: foul language

killer of all, another possibility is that the evaluators are validly determining that your quiz question was ambiguous. "invented" according to what culture? couldn't the argument be made that G-d, one of your answers, invented all numbers including zero?

What is the meaning of the name 'Robert'?
---According to evaluators the answer is an uninteresting lexical knowledge.

Quadriplegics have an injury in what part of the spine?
---and this is a good question!!!! i guess it is interesting and does not involve lexical knowlwdge.

GIMME A BREAK!!!!!

Honestly, I would err on the side of ambiguous. Names means are often different from culture to culture, sometimes even from book to book.

how many do you find that doesnt mean Famed, Bright; Shining ?

the first couple hundred on google gives this meaning. the problem with u, elvaluators that u assume things instead of knowing or at least checking it. poor job...
