I don't see a "spelling" error, but the question, as written, is very specialized knowledge. If someone wasn't an avid video game fan, they would NEVER come up with the answer to which does not belong.

What is the "code" of the swine flu?

H5N1

I'd appreciate you letting this question go as I do not believe that it's already part of the database (the fact I've proven multiple times by now)

Thank you

@chaotic gemini
all the answers are easily google-able, are all in the same genre(RPG) and one does not have to be a game fanatic to know or to have heard of games such as final fantasy or kingdom hearts. World ends with you and golden sun were thrown in to make the question just a tad harder as they are less known.

The way the question is worded it is not google-able. I happen to know and played all except Golden Sun, but I could not have told you they were made by square enix. To answer the question the way it is worded, you would have to look up and read about every game and make the connection to the different manufacturers. Not knowing Golden Sun and looking at the three others. I would said TWEWY does not belong for completely different reasons. If the question was 'which game is not made by square enix' I would say sure; anyone can find that answer. But, hey, that's just my opinion and I have nothing to do with what the system does and does not accept.

What is the distance from earth to the next nearest star (sun being the nearest) ?

2.2 light years
4.2 light years
6.2 light years
8.2 light years

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

From what i found the answer is 4.2 light years to proxima centauri, thats the nearest star after the sun. Where did i go wrong?

@Valkyrie: Maybe it was because it is posted in the wrong thread. This one is for rejected questions you submit, not problems you have for questions already in the game.

@imishimo: I don't see any problem with your question, but there are several websites that incorrectly list Alpha Centauri as the closest. Perhaps that is what the person that rejected it saw.

I know it is in the wrong thread. The problem is, after you post in the forum, you can not delete it. (if you look at some of my posts, you'll see that I write something like "I can not delete it" or similar...

And besides, there were other people's questions posted in the wrong place, non of them got 1, only a suggestion to write it at the appropriate place.

PS - I never get 10 for the good, helpful posts I write, or for the good discussions I initiate. But for one question at the wrong place, I get 1? Come on...

How can the fraction 2/5 be written as a decimal?
2.5
0.4
5.2
1.3

I received this evaluation: The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
According to evaluators your question is too easy or an arithmetic problem.

Now, the problem I have with this is there is NO math needed. I could understand the arithmetic evaluation if there were multiple choices less than 1.0, but there is not. If you know what a fraction is, there is only one obvious answer. I have to do basic math all the time for the countless roman numeral questions or the chicken legs question, etc.

Based on the percentage I see on some of my other questions, I'm not sure there is such a thing as too easy in this game.

Who is not a member of X-men superhero team?

Wolverine
Storm
Beast
Batman


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


I really don't understand how this can be a special knowledge. Everybody knows (even those who don't know X-men which imho is very well-known comix with 3 well-known movies) the Batman movie(s) and there were no X-men there... that's why I put batman there. To have an easier answer.

What is not a special knowledge?
Maybe I should post a boring question about an author of some book?
Or how many is 1+1?

I'm surprised this is a special knowledge question. My last hunt I had 4 superhero questions, 2 of them about batman.

i wrote a question-"How many members can join per level of your watchtower?". an obvious doomlord questtion. why was it rejected? it said only a special group of people would know. well i guess only people who play this particular game would need to know it.

first level characters won't know the answer, that's why it is special. also, what could have been asked about the game is asked already so i suggest you to ask about another subjects

Thats another case of those weird special groups that haunt this game. But since noone wants to do something about it, you just get used to it and adapt like me
