Which of these statements about Mount Kilimanjaro is NOT true?

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa
Kilimanjaro is an inactive volcano
Blind people have managed to climb the Kilimanjaro
Despite it's height, there is no snow to be found on the Kilimanjaro

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

Why are my answers ambiguous? The right answer is option 4...the other 3 are really true, so I don't understand...

There is snow on Kilimanjaro. There have been a ton of news stories recently about experts that expect it to disappear within 15 to 20 years, but it is there now, so all your answers are true.

Edit: Someone could argue that "Kilimanjaro is an inactive volcano" is the false statement, because it is actually 3 inactive volcanoes, but that is stretching it. If you phrase your questions differently, you could actually make several interesting questions out of your answers.

What's wrong with these questions? Both evaluated as bad spelling but there's nothing wrong (or at least in my eyes!)








Help?

LOL based on my experience...

george clooney question, u spelt film wrong, it should be spelt movie...

the Dr Who one, you have asked 2 questions in one, the question itself and also Dr Who? who is Dr Who he must have a name:)

tongue in cheek but im prob pretty close

I dont know about the clooney one but the doctor Who i bet the problem is not spelling but the word recently. 2 years after if your question was accepted, recently means what??? The evaluators sometimes say spelling to let you re post without loosing the question. Just change recently to "".... who took over right after...."" or ""... who took over in 2010..."" (if thats the date ofcourse)

just laughing
write quadruple-double in google search if u cant find the answer (i m sure nearly half of the players already know the answer without searching) in 10 seconds i ll apologize. there r only 4 quadruple doubles in NBA history upto now and probably will never be another one for the next 20 years. i think game is played different in Hungary. really cant believe my eyes when i see some accepted questions and the rejected ones posted here.
here is my advice;
to keep up a standart, evaluators can read all questions in database time to time so they will see what kind of questions circulating and maybe they will evaluate their criterias again or at least they will delete more than half of the current questions.

How many known species of mammals lay eggs?

1
2
3
4

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

I think that almost anyone would understand this question, and it isn't as if 100% of people should get it right. I realized that there were actually 2 ORDERS, not species, so should I rephrase it "As known in the year 2010 after the known birth of Jesus, homo sapiens were aware of how many orders of Monotremes among mammals?"

Hate to say it, but your snide question would be wrong because Jesus wasn't born 2010 years ago.
You figured out the problem. When you said "species" the answer is more than 4. When you say "order" the answer is 2.

Okay, then I should say after the Supposed birth of Jesus, anyways, that was an extravagance which shouldn't be necessary, or I could say "2010 by the Gregorian Calendar" or "2010 by the Common Calendar", or just say "2010", which do you think I should use?

This was my question: (was rejected)

In golf the number ten (#10) iron is usually called what?

the putter
the sand wedge
the wedge
the driver

It was rejected as being a bad question.....




*Then I go on a hunt' and here was one of the questions that I was asked....

In golf what do you use to hit the ball with? The simple answer is "the club".





I really think that is the same 'kind' of a question and should have passed well before "In golf what do you use to hit the ball with?

1. The question ends "with". That is a poor sentence structured question.
2. The question is too easy with the choices being "a bat", "a racket", and something else.




Next question that was asked:

Which country did not have a dictatorship in the 20th Century?

Italy
France
Spain
Germany

WHO CARES? THIS IS A DUMB QUESTION!! What value is put on this question. Give me a stinking break. While I did get the question correct, it has no real substance.

The next question that was asked of me what poor evaluation:


What is the unit of measure used to expressthe relative difference between two acoustic or electric signals?

1. First it is a vague question.
2. Notice the 'expressthe'. Someone didn't spell check. Several evaluators missed this spell check!!

You all really need to stop this part of the game. I have had great questions rejected. Then you let these kinds of questions pass?

Give me a break,

Cursed Templar

Ok, you have it. Take it, i officially give you a break.

Seriously, you asked about golf like the other question, but you asked a much more detailed one. Only golf players or devoted fans will know it while the other is general in knowleadge.

As for the dictatorship question, knowing which country out of THE WHOLE OF EUROPE did not have a dictatorship in the 20th century is quite a good thing. It is the supposed democracy cradle but this question shows that it was far from that most of the modern times. Good history therefore

Last, the science question is mispelled, ONE evaluator (since thats how many evaluate any given question) made a mistake in letting it pass. Report it and it will be fixed, but as a question is valid since it deals with high school physics and not with specialist or lexical scientific facts.

Who was the first U.S. president born outside the original 13 states ?

Abraham Lincoln
Franklin Pierce
Andrew Johnson
James Buchanan


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

Among one of the most recognized U.S. President in the world, other than J. F. K.
You should look into difference ways of response. Similar question with your reply rank 85% + by players. your stats.

to know the original 13 states and to know where he was born (city, state) needs way more thorough knowledge than to know him.

How many cigarettes are in a standard class A pack of cigarettes?

15
20
25
30

do i need to say american cigs or what?

class A is rating used in the US so yes, you should.
but i suggest you not to ask this again, might get special even if you give the detail - even american non-smokers may not know the answer.

Whats the length of extra time (not including additional time) in a soccer game?

15 minutes
20 minutes
30 minutes
45 minutes

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


really have nothing to say!

I asked who is currently on the US $1,000 dollar bill? I thought that it was common knowledge that this bill was discontinued many years ago, so the answer is "nobody". I am not here to discuss the validity of the question, but I just wanted to know if you could remove the "bad question" penalty for this question. Thank you for your consideration.

Idézet: grudge - 2010.04.19. 06:03:44

above is my question rejected and now here is a question that i face



is this a joke?
how many ppl have knowledge about soccer (football) and how many have knowledge about golf hole standarts
i m sure more than 90% of doomlord players know that extra time for a soccer game is 15+15=30 minutes. and again i m sure without making research at most 10% of players know golf hole width.
this is really annoying, the thing is not writing a bad question the thing is not having a just evaluation process. sometimes i face questions that i cant find the answer from google in 20 minutes.

Well if it is any consolation, i also feel your question was valid.

I have several thoughts on this question. Just because the bill is no longer in circulation does not mean Cleveland was erased from all of them. Very few Americans even know who is/was on any bill over $100. It's an international game, so imagine answering the question about another currency. (i.e. What image was on the reverse of a Canadian $50,000 bill?)
