I'm Maltese, and I honestly never heard of these before googling it.

What U.S. state is said to have as many cows as people?

I could not find a factual (non-user submitted) site to back this up, but I did find US agriculture reports listing several other states that this is true.

Which singers name have to a wrestler?

Am I missing something? I could not understand what is being asked.

Theoretically, what is the minimum number of strokes a player needs to make to win a set at tennis?

In a quick search, I found two ways to answer this question and neither one of them was a choice in the answers.
Option 1) 4 shots to win a game, and there are 6 games in a set, so the answer is 24
Option 2) both players could in theory double fault every game to get to a tie break. Both players would than continue to double fault until 5-6. Than the person who serves first would be 5-6 down. The other person would than have to get an ace or service winner to win the set with only one shot going in.

The difference with the other type of questions is that they offer a nice trivia, for someone who does care, to learn. Math has been allowed when following the same princible, like pi questions, asking the circumferance of circle, various math series or even a question asking (example): 34x544x22x0x555x544=?

That one is allowed since it is actually a trick and is a nice one as such. But questions asking plainly for the player to grab a calculator and find the result offer nothing more than exersising your math solving skills or your calculator speed. Not quite a trivia quiz subject.

Option 3. 12

The player who wins Aces all his serves and the Player that loses Double faults all his - however - does a double fault still count as a stroke even if it is a false stroke?

This in this case the answer would be 36 - where as if they served 'out' the answer would be 24....

Who was Jeffrey Dahmer?

Marked misspeling, this is actually to save you the question. The material coming up when you search this name is not something that can be accepted.

What interesting fact did astronomers recently discover?

Recently is very vague, also even with a date this question will still be quite vague. Make it more to the point please

Here is the latest in my ongoing battle to get one, just ONE, question past the quiz nazi's. Do you see anything wrong here???

Who was Jeffrey Dahmer?

a character on the TV series Seinfeld
a serial killer
a football player
a Hungarian Poet

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
Spelling mistakes in question or answers.

I have seen many, repeat MANY, questions with blatant spelling mistakes. Perhaps the question evaluators don't know how to spell themselves??

Hey I see he answered my question before I asked it. To late, I resubmitted it. I guess I'll have to ask some really bizarre question about a water polo player or something.

Did you actually try to Google Jeffrey Dahmer? You know he ate people here in town , about 22 of them, said they tasted like chicken! He was trying to create his own sex zombies.

That would be Wisconsin, and we don't even need to count one third of our women

Rephrased:)

On a second thought, I let the rephrased version through, but a little reminder to everyone, the words "most famous" means very little since it can depend on one's perspective. It's not a factual reference.

Actually in this case it is.

Enter room full of people and say porsche and ask a number everyone will say 911.
People with little interest in cars will google porsche and first 20 results would probably be 911. That type was/is foundation of the entire company and trademarks are usualy "most famous" things about anything.
Txh for the approval though

why was this question labeled Bad because only a select few people might know the answer?

DJ Tiesto comes from which country?

The Netherlands. (correct)
Belgium.
Germany.
England.



Dj Tiesto is a WORLD FAMOUS DJ, nr 1 DJ in the world for about 8 times now, and certainly MUCH more famous then some the the romanian/hungarian/croatian poets/footballers/dances/food items, and what not that HAVE been approved oh so many times in this game already, that no one outside of those countries have ever heard off before!!!

All you need to do is type in DJ Tiesto in google or any other search engine, and the first thing that comes up is "Tiësto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Life and musical career · Philanthropy · Personal life · Discography
Tiësto OON (born Tijs Michiel Verwest [ˈtɛi̯s miˈxil vərˈʋɛst] on January 17, 1969) is a DUTCH musician"

takes less then 2 seconds to look up, while some of the questions i have had about hungarian food dishes or poets took me FAR more digging and reading to be able to figure out.
