The US CIA planned, trained and equipped Cuban exiles to invade with the hope that they would be able to convince the locals to help overthrow Castro. Instead they were killed or taken prisoner by Castro's army when Kennedy chose not to back them up with Air Force support. So, both your first and third answer could be seen as correct.

Also, a small side note: it is better to write a question, like 'What was The Bay of Pigs Invasion?'

had the following quetion/answers rejected...

The Bay of Pigs Invasion was...

a US invasion of Cuba
a USSR invasion of Cuba
a Cuban-exile invasion of Cuba
a fictional book

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
The correct answer I have is "a Cuban exile invasion of Cuba" - why is this marked as an incorrect question?


Maybe because it was a cuban exile invasion but US arranged so 2 answers might be considered correct


US-Backed but not a US invasion - CIA trained the exiles. But I suppose it's not too hard to reword it to avoid the confusion (or make it appear to be a trick question )

The problem is in the grammar of the question:
Robert Block wrote a book about a motel and it's murderous owner named?

The question, as it's currently phrased, is asking for the name of the murderous owner (which would be something Bates, as I recall), not the name of the book. Properly phrased, it should read something to the effect of:
What is the title of the book, written by Robert Black, about a motel and it's murderous owner?

Uhm......could it be because Blaupunkt is a name brand.... specifically a German manufacturer of electronics equipment?

That's like asking what a "Honda" is....when they make many things.

Yes, Blaupunkt make car stereos...but not all German car stereos are a Blaupunkt...

This was my que:
To test the IP stack on your local host, which IP address would you ping?

127.0.0.0
255.255.255.255
192.168.0.1
127.0.0.1 (*)

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

I think that this group is only uneducated "evaluators".

Please copy/pase in google my que, and first link have corect answer.

I plays for this game sine 2 days, and from beging i must answers very strange question - "Like name winner ice hocky team in Canada, USA", Nation poem heros... and other, other and STRANGE for my culture" - but I think that with very small involvement and research are not questions without answers.

That Was My 2 Cents In This Field.

Cheers

I can see 3 problems with this question:

1. Most people do not know what an ip stack is. A lot do not really know what ip is.

2. Even the ones that do know, me included, might never had to test their ip stack on their local host, hence never came across that specific ip.

3. As mentioned a lot in this forum, being easy to google, doesnt mean it will pass. The above points are the evaluation criteria.

I am just mentioning these not to prove you wrong but to understand they way the evaluation works. National heroes are known by a nation AT LEAST. Sport questions also, are known by millions of funs AT LEAST. Any question that requires a specific age, profession or specialization is not the same.

There is nowhere in the help or FAQs that a first level could find the answer to your question. So, only a special group of people (those that have been playing a while) would know the answer.

So you guys are admitting that you don't read the news posts on the log in page? Because it was right there and there have been lots of questions about this game that a 1st level wouldn't know. Considering I just reread the rules the other day and all it says is...

"Try to design questions to which any educated and intelligent player may answer. Do not ask ones that demand lexical knowledge (like dates) or that is known only by a special group (e.g. Magic the Gathering, comics etc.). " that is it. since the answer to my question can be found in the news section of the forums, and on the login page under the news portion then obviously even a level 1 would have access to it.

Perhaps that the dates are only one month apart making it fall under "lexical knowledge"
