..... The Empire State Building is NOT a statue...


Thanks,
Jazaray

OK, I got this question today:


What is the height of The Empire State Building in New York ?

503m
287m
301m
381m <--- marked as correct.

According to several sites (listed below) the height of the Empire State Building is 443 m.


http://www.aviewoncities.com/buildings/nyc/empirestatebuilding.htm (for some reason it has height as 381 in "Quick facts" but as 443 in "Total Height" under "Notes")

This is from The Empire State Buildings own website:

Ok, I got this one today:

How many different combinations of dots are used in Braille?
49
75
63 <-- marked as correct
87

I got it right because it was the closest answer to 64, as 64 is the correct answer, according to these sites:

http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question3332.html

http://www.familyconnect.org/parentsite.asp?SectionID=72&DocumentID=4018

http://www.iidc.indiana.edu/cedir/kidsWeb/brailleinfo.html

There are probably more sites that state this, but I thought 3 was enough.

Oh, I see. I guess I misunderstood your post then. I don't know about vampires, I heard Lilth was one. How about something like a snorlax or a Grindyglow. Keep everybody on their toes.

She did NOT go by Jack in The Chronicles of Riddick. She was Kyra and only Kyra in that movie.

As for you saying that you spelled it that way, only on here, I call attention to this post of yours:




this sounds like you wrote it that way on the question you submitted, and that you wrote it that way on purpose to try and trick people.


And, whether it was rejected for your spelling, the fact that the question is completely wrong, or that they feel it was more of a specialized questions, it was rejected. If you read some of the posts in this forum, you'll see that "specialized group" rejections are subjective and not always fair. It happens.

So, in the five minutes we have to answer the question, we're supposed to do intensive research on whether or not the unicorn was a bull? Those of us who don't really have much to do with religion or the bible, wouldn't even think about the unicorn being something else or whatever. I answered "unicorn" because I figured that maybe the dragons mentioned in the bible were actually meant to be dinosaurs. I'm sorry, but I think that either there needs to be different answers for it (Not including unicorn, or any other "possible" mythical creatures that could be interpreted as being "in" the bible) or the question needs to be deleted.

Thanks,
Jazaray

Which of these mythological creatures appears also in the Bible?
Phoenix
Gorgon
Unicorn
Dragon <--- marked as correct answer

I went and googled this, because I'm not much of a bible person, and I found references to both Unicorn's and Dragons within the bible.

"Psalm 91:11 "For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep you in all your ways. They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under foot".

Jeremiah 51:37 - "And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment and an hissing without an in habitant".

"Psalms 92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil."

"Isaiah 34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness."


There are more, but, I figured I didn't want to make y'all read the whole freaking bible!

I think this question should be taken out, due to this.


I just ran across this question:

According to United Nations estimates, what is the most populous urban area in Western Europe?
Madrid
Paris <-- marked as correct
Rome
Berlin

I'm not very good at googlefu I had a lot of problems finding the answer, as tons of stuff kept coming up about Ancient Rome and such (I chose Rome ). Anyways, that's not really your problem, but, there's no date specified in the question, so, this answer is more than likely going to change sooner or later. I think it should be deleted from the system.

Actually, you had more than 1 spelling mistake. It's Chronicles (les, not als), Riddick (should be also capitalized), as well as Kyra (which should also be capitalized.)

Also, Kyra's name in The Chronicles of Riddick (the movie), was Kyra. Her name in Pitch Black, was Jack. So, your question is wrong anyway.

None taken.

Ok, I checked http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/51-l/docs/rogers-commission/ Chapter-3.txt and this is what it said about it (just the final paragraph)




Personally, I could read it either way. "An explosive burn" and the "fireball" terms could well mean either an explosion, or disintegration. However, I will resubmit the question and modify my answer.

Thank you for your assistance CG.

I was going to put explode, however, after I double checked with the wiki site, to make sure my facts were correct, I changed it to disintegrate, as that is what the site said actually happened.

Thanks,
Jazaray

I'd like to know why my question was rejected as:
"The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
Your answers are ambiguous or wrong to this question."


What happened to the American Space Shuttle Challenger on January 28, 1986?

It landed on the moon.
It disintegrated after it launched. <-- correct answer
It orbited the earth for 349 days.
It did not launch.

Challenger disintegrated 73 seconds after it launched, I know, I watched it happen during school. I was 10 at the time. The first word of the question, as well as the first word of each answer, is capitalized. There are no punctuation mistakes. Everything is spelled correctly. I specified the date I was talking about, as it had completed missions prior to that date. There's no way to mistake any of the answers for each other. "It did not launch" would be a valid answer, as it is nothing like "nothing happened to it" or the like. I even specified that it was the American shuttle, just in case there was another one named Challenger in another country.

So.. what's wrong with it?

Here's the wikipedia site for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_disaster

Where is the anime from?
From Portugal
From Japan <-- marked correct
From China
From the U.S.A.


All of the answers are correct. There is Japanese anime, and there is also American anime, Chinese anime and Portugese anime. The question also needs to lose the word "the" in front of anime, but that's besides the point. I think the question should be re-worded to "From what country did anime originate?" or something similar.
