Maybe you should let players Rate the quizzes.I've come across a large number of unanswerable questions.I assumed it was the games designers way of keeping it fair for all,you know... nobody will know the answer so everybody would get it wrong kind of thing.

You can always use google. 5 mins are way more than it takes to google something.
The Star Trek movies question should be okay.

To prove my theory about the Star Trek movies:

Who wrote "Atlas Shrugged" ?
Ayn Rand
Kate Chopin
Chris West
Anne Rice

This is also a type of question half of the players will give incorrect answer if they don't google it.

You mean we're allowed to cheat? Guys, I answer 8-9 quizzes before the the first hunt is over.I don't do too shabby either.

Cheat?

Using google isn't cheating.

Also you answer all of the quiz question at the same time when you chosing the length of the hunt. If I go and hunt for 5 mins I receive 1 question but if I go to hunt for 30 mins I receive 6 questions. Every 6 shows up one after another in the beginning of the hunt.

In all, i think the special group thing should be disabled for a month. If the admin and players thing the quiz becomes messed up then bring it back, else keep it out. You will make a lot of players (not to mention paying players) happy and the quiz will not be harder or easier than its now

Really, a (fair) moderator needs to get involved in this process. There is a huge bias in rejected and approved questions. The approved questions in most cases are far worse than the rejected questions ive seen on this forum. I just came across 3 in my last hunt that irritate me on the basis of what my rejected question was.

Either it needs to be regulated for fairness or players shouldnt be the question writers at all. Especially being that it is a quest!!!

The Clone Wars is...

the 1st episode of the saga.
the 2nd episode of the saga.
the 4th episode of the saga.
the 5th episode of the saga.


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

I gave wrong answer. I edited it. New answer is 2nd because:

1st: Star Wars - The phantom menace
2nd: Star Wars - Clone wars
3rd: Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith
4th: Star Wars - A new hope
5th: Star Wars - The Empire strikes back
6th: Star Wars - Return of the Jedi

Clone Wars is a series based upon the movie. what you mean is Attack of the Clones - which really is the second episode.

Dang. Right.
If it will be dropped back, I'll correct it.

Dang.. I messed it up again.
Drop it back and I'll correct it to second.

It would be nice to have some feedback on why a question is rated good or bad.

post the question with answers here and we try to help you

According to the bible, how many Magi (Wise Men) visited the baby Jesus?

1
2
3
It doesn't say how many there were.

1 good and 3 bad answers have arrived for this question.

Why is that bad?

Post the description too. The text that explains why your question was dropped back.

But if you can see how much good and bad answers arrived, your question is in the datebase. All in all it is evaulated as good question.

First of all, I wrote that question some time ago, so I'm surprised you didn't get "already in a database"

Second, when the rating is 25 %, it's dropped automaticly

The question is good, but 3 out of 4 people didn't know the correct answer. (I was surprised myself.)

LOL That's why it is a good question, surely? It surprises, makes you think and educates. The essence of a good quiz question.

Unlike this one I am having to guess at:

What color do you get when you mix black and red?
brown
blue
purple
green

The real answer is a dark shade of red! How did this slip through?

I live above a star but never burn, I have 11 neighbours they don't turn. My initials are P, Q, R and sometimes S. Who am I?

Number 7
Number 12
Moon
Saturn

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

I do not believe that only a quarter of people knows the answer to this...

there are even more obvious questions which get under 25%.. personally i think some people just click and don't read or think.
