Wien
Vindobona
Pressburg
Aquincum


The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
According to evaluators the answer is an uninteresting lexical knowledge.

So questions about ancient Roman gods or generals, leaders... are interesting, but not about their settlements?

This should have been accepted. Common lexical knowlege group has questions like this. Also google can answer it in 20 seconds.

absolutely agree, it should have been accepted.

Your answers are ambiguous or wrong to this question.

guess you put up the same question again and again? the other day i've rejected it with already in database evaluation (could have been spelling, too). and now you got it back with ambiguous answers?

Right. Spelling mistake:

Stephen King

I also believe you are trying to ask about
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

Plus, see the Sticky topic "Quiz evaluation rules and updates" about "who wrote" questions

I really thought that this question would already be in the database... But I really didnt expect that it is an uninteresting lexical knowledge...

who was the first person to sail around the world?

Eratosthenes
Ferdinand Magellan
Nicholas Copernicus
Galileo Galilei


The evaluator said it was a bad or wrong answer..........GOOGLE IT...you'll find it's the right answer....I see the evaluators haven't changed.....they still suck ass and have no clue

As written, it is wrong. Magellan died in the Philippines. His team made it around, but he did not. Also, you asked the first person, not first expedition. I believe the first person was a Canadian with the last name of Slocum. Feel free to Google it.

There is already a question about why magellan did not complete the trip around the world in the quiz btw

What is the name of the puzzle box in the Hellraiser movies?

It's a great movie... In fact, I watched it exactly one week ago... And I couldn't answer this with any certainty.
It's just way too intricate a detail in a massive trilogy.

Azull, the problem is that you asked a 3-fold problematic question:

1. The player has to have seen the movie
2. Has to have noticed the name
3. Has to have seen it recently enough to remember it

So even players with 1 and 2 points covered, if they do not have 3 they still cannot answer it unless they go searching. Add all the rest who have no idea what that movie is and you get the picture. If you had asked about a more general question, needing only point 1 to answer it would be ok.

Can I ask what was wrong with this? Please suggest re-wording

Who designed and created the FIFA World Cup Trophy?

Jules Rimet

Please enlighten me, oh all knowing Mods.

I wish we could get the "already part of database" feedback,even if there was a misspelling.
If so we would not need to try again and again to correct the spelling error, this would also give the inspector an easier job.

I was waiting for you to ask Viridel
Marked as spelling to avoid you loosing the question. Since teams are often sold, it would be best to work a date into the question.
examples:
...and as of 2010 is a part owner...
or
...and in 1999 became part owner of which....

But that would mean you will not re post the question, while the misspelling evaluation will give you the chance to correct it (or ask here for help) and get it accepted

Idézet: The Harjawalder - 2010.08.08. 15:20:25

Already part of the database is exactly that. Please do NOT try resubmitting the same question again if you get that evaluation. If it is something we think you should try again with, we will mark it as a misspelling.
