Put in another question, which has now also been rejected. I find it very hard to believe that this question is already in the database. Perhaps there is a similar question, but not the exact same.

Which of the following animals is the fastest at running?

Zebra
Giraffe
Coyote
Jackal

Perhaps because Ireland is no longer considered to be one country?

The same problem could arise by asking this question:

How many provinces are there in the country of Korea?


Perhaps you should refine your question to this:
Ireland is subdivided into how many provinces?

Also, you might need to space out your answers.

Might be deemed too close to one another.

There are 4 provinces in Ireland. Plain and simple. To spread the numbers further out makes no sense to me.

Nevermind though, it's hardly as if posting here will help. I'll just pump out the questions until they're taken.

Answers need to be spaced apart so that an educated guess can be made.

This exact question may not be, but there are plenty of "fastest" animal questions and to know the minute differences between animals so far down the fastest animal list becomes lexical knowledge.

Most of the questions in the quiz require lexical knowledge. You could argue that this is better for the quiz, as it will get people to research the questions they are asked in a restrained time frame. This adds scope to the game as a whole while educating people at the same time.

As for the provinces question. Would you prefer the options to be 1 - 10 - 50 - 1000 ?
I doubt it, this is degrading to the people answering it. Better to have the question relatively hard and have the person look it up if they don't know it straight off.

Anyways. I don't care anymore. It's all good.

Where would you look for Kupffer cells?

in your computer
in your car battery
in your liver
in your brain

My question was rejected as " According to evaluators only a special group of people might know the answer", but I am convinced that the question is good and that knowledge about the most important Kupffer cells in liversIS part of general knowledge.
If you ask the question on Google, you can easily find all about very important Kupffer Cells:
"Kupffer cells are resident macrophages of the liver and play an important role in its normal physiology and homeostasis as well as participating in the acute and chronic responses of the liver to toxic compounds. Activation of Kupffer cells directly or indirectly by toxic agents results in the release of an array of inflammatory mediators, growth factors, and reactive oxygen species. This activation appears to modulate acute hepatocyte injury as well as chronic liver responses including hepatic cancer. Understanding the role Kupffer cells play in these diverse responses is key to understanding mechanisms of liver injury. Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver disease results in morbidity and mortality, impacting severely on the development of new pharmacological agents. Modulation of the response of Kupffer cells by drugs has been suggested as a cause for the idiosyncratic response. Similarly, liver damage seen in chronic ethanol consumption appears to be modulated by Kupffer cell activation. More recent evidence has noted a contributory role of Kupffer cell activation in the process of hepatic carcinogenesis. Several nongenotoxic carcinogens, for example, activate Kupffer cells resulting in the release of cytokines and/or reactive oxygen species that induce hepatocyte cell proliferation and may enhance clonal expansion of preneoplastic cells leading to neoplasia. Kupffer cells therefore appear to play a central role in the hepatic response to toxic and carcinogenic agents. Taken together, the data presented in this symposium illustrate to the toxicologist the central role played by Kupffer cells in mediating hepatotoxicity. " etc....

I think that evaulators should not have to decide on what is general knowledge or what is known to special group of people. There are so many questions about football players and clubs, details about Harry Potter and other questions for which I am sure that are not a part of general education, but I search Internet to find answers and I am glad to learn something new, something more....

The very first questions I have got, when I wrote my when I wrote my complaint to the assessment of my question, was:

lWhere can you find the Islets of Langerhans?
Pancreas
Gulf of Mexico
Australia
Bay of Bengal


What is the difference between this and my question?! Maybe that the answers in that questions are more ambiguous...

I also found this:

Kupffer cells are located in your liver, which marvellously cleans and filters your blood.
They are specialised macrophages (Greek for 'big eater') which ingest and breakdown toxic matter. The cells were first observed by Karl Wilhelm von Kupffer in 1876

More and more my questions are rejected as "This question is already part of the database". I wonder how many questions are already there in the database. So far I have answered correctly to 1868 questions, that means I have got at least 2500 questions , but between them has never been the one, which evaluators refused me as "part of the database"

You are talking about a database with TENS of thousands of questions. Answering 3000, some of them being repeated, is quite a small number. However, if you are getting the rejection for a lot of your questions regarding the same topic, it can be that they are rejected due to that topic having a lot of questions in the quiz. Like the who wrote what topic for example.

Ok....uhm... let's look at this from an evaluators perspective:

First, try creating a question that isn't a statement.

"What statue was found on the Greek island of Melos in 1820?"

and the another reason that I can think of, is "De" should be "de".....

Adult African male lions with dark manes are more dominant than blond maned lions. Why is this?

Dark maned lions have a higher level of testosterone.
Blond maned lions are always younger.
Dark maned lions eat more protein.
Blond maned lions eat more fat.


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

According to National Geographic, adult African male lions with dark manes have a higher level of testosterone, which makes dark maned lions more dominant and sexually aggressive

and from wikipedia:
The presence, absence, color, and size of the mane is associated with genetic precondition, sexual maturity, climate, and testosterone production; the rule of thumb is the darker and fuller the mane, the healthier the lion. Sexual selection of mates by lionesses favors males with the densest, darkest mane.[46] Research in Tanzania also suggests mane length signals fighting success in male-male relationships. Darker-maned individuals may have longer reproductive lives and higher offspring survival, although they suffer in the hottest months of the year

Just a thought, but it could be considered ambiguous because (to point out a fact)
The mane of a lion grows darker as the lion grows older.

Also, studies have shown (from National Geographic) that if a male becomes better nourished or relocates to a different habitat; his mane may become darker as well.

So, following these facts, re-read your answers you provided with the question and think about it.

A lot of my questions were rejected as " the question is already part of database", but in half of an hour I have got a question for 3 times:
"Which country was not part of Yugoslavia?" with different answers, with different correct and different wrong countries (Once it was Albania, then Bulgaria... I can't remember all )
At the first there is a problem in question, it should stand "former Yugoslavia" and as secondly: evaluators sometimes allow the same question if the answers are different, next time they reject it by a priori as a part of the database even as the answers are different.
