Neither do I... but. I have a feeling the user that rejected the question was wrong when picking the reason for rejecting. It's more of "Not basic knowlege" category.

Thank you for the reply.

I felt it is a good question because the question covers 3 genres of pop culture. Music, TV (music video), and Hollywood movies. Although Alicia Silverstone hasn't gone on to become an actress the caliber of Meryl Streep, she had her moment in time and 15 minutes of fame. We must remember, although Clueless didn't win any Acadamy Awards, it still raked in Millions at the box office.

What planet did man take the first step on?

Moon
Earth
Mars
Venus

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
According to evaluators your question is ambiguous.

Whats ambiguous about that?

Man has not taken a step on mars or venus and the moon is not a planet its a moon....

an exampl eof ambiguous is question i just got

Which US State has produced the most presidents

i just hit google and i got 3 answers

new york, 8

all three were possible answers to quiz with vrginia being the one marked correct

That is ambiguous

i resubmitted my question and i rephrased it

What planet did Neil Armstrong take the first step on?

Moon
Earth
Mars
Venus

This question is already part of the database.

This question is not already part of the database....you might have a question about Neil Armstrong and the moon but if you bothered to check the answer it is STILL EARTH

Moon is the Moon and it is a Moon
Earth is a Planet not a Moon
The first planet Neil Armstong walked on was EARTH
The first moon Neil Armstrong walked on was the MOON
The only planet about 7 billion people have walked on is EARTH

this question was on "am i smarter than a 5th grader"
That is to say THIS QUESTION IS SOMETHING CHILDREN LEARN AT SCHOOL FROM ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD....

so far 2 evaluators havent got it...

its a good question
bad evaluation

No it is not. Answers are confusing. Good evaulation.

lol

first its ambiguous then its confusing, if questions are sposed to be so easy no brain power is required to answer them then may as well scratch the quiz and just pay the 10% extra

i think ill stick to renouncing then

as a matter of interest

is the "Which US State has produced the most presidents" question i posted as an example of ambiguous a good question? confusing question or ambiguous question?

one of the links i got 3 different answers from in itself used the congress list of presidents to get answers, they had virginia as winner with 8 and ohio with 7, ohio with 8 and virginia with 7 and 3rd was a tie where they both had 8, there were still a bunch of links on first page of google with different answers.

did evaluators re evealuate that question seeing as it was bought to there attention or was it left in databse as it is?

my money is on that it was left as it is lol

Since ambiguous means that something has 2 different meanings so yeah, confusing/ambiguous.

What is the size of an A4 sheet?
215.9 mm x 279.4mm
200.0mm x 300.0mm
210.0mm x 297.0mm
non of the above

I hope the author sees this and STOP POSTING IT! None of the above is both misspelled and not a valid answer

all my quiz questions have been rejected! WHY?
nothing was misspelled or incorrect.
i asked when was obama elected and they say its unintersting a lexical, why because it has nothing to do with africa or soccer i for one hate soccer and could care less about africa, you let mis spelt question in all the time i see them. i think that stekkos and kethios and every one else that evaluates the questions are baised against americans or just plain morons.

I would come up with a new question. That one is in the database 3 times already.

What was the size of table tennis balls in 1999?

Smaller than today.
Larger than today.
The same like today.
None. Table tennis was not invented yet.

According to evaluators your question is ambiguous.

?

denial is not an accepted answer, please read the Quiz evaluation rules and updates topic.

Denial? You mean the 4th answer? Its common that 1 of 4 answers uses to be "denying rubbish"... Why do evaluators only accept question that are for 5-y age children or easily found on goodle/wiki? I have written 8 questions so far...only 4 good... always the same problem... Sorry, but evaluators suck here.

Edit: I have read the FAQ. You are right, denying is forbidden. Without reason...Even when the denial isnt the correct answer. So there is no chance to succeed with "compare X and Y" questions... Thats sad. And wrong. Evaluators are just afraid of logical questions...maybe they like finding answers in google/wiki only...and they think, everybody else MUST like this only too... Well, its your game, your rules, lets everybody follow the dictators!

The denial is not allowed for the simple reason that it would lead to a lot of questions with no answer. And if you thing logical questions are not accepted you just havent answered enough of them.

how do i lookup the database to see if my question or a similar one is already there ?

There isn't one we can look into; only the admins can do that. I just know I have seen that question come up written at least 3 different ways and have rejected it as in the database more times than I can count.
