What is a hand glider?
Or do you mean hang glider?

One problem is that so many players can not answer questions that lie outside their nationality. I have entered questions which are easy to people from the countries in which the question falls but your question checkers say they are bad. Bad because they are not from the country involved:

What well-known alcoholic drink is the River Douro famous for?

Whisky
Brandy
Vodka
Port

58 good and 46 bad answers have arrived for this question. So 46 people are ignorant of alcohol and so the question is bad? No. It is a fair question they do not know so they mark it as bad.


Which English county does NOT exist?

North Yorkshire
South Yorkshire
East Yorkshire
West Yorkshire

79 good and 106 bad answers have arrived for this question. 106 this time. USA and Hungary goegraphy and famous people all pass without fail but UK geography is bad? NO. Your people just can't understand the concept that a quiz is not just good if they already know the answer. Quizzes should educate! I am prepared to look up answers when I do not know them. It does not make the nquestion bad, just so0mething about which I need to learn to be able to answer.

Which is the monument of India which is one among the 7 wonders of the world?
Taj Mahal
Statue of Liberty
Eiffil tower
Roman Colosseum

The Taj Mahal may be considered a wonder of the MODERN world but it is not nor ever has been one of the seven wonders of the world.

Who destroyed the Holy Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE during the Siege of Jerusalem?
The Greeks.
The Chinese.
The Romans.
The Germans.

Please can we keep to BC and AD?

What color do people feel more relaxed in a rooms with ?
Red
pink
Green
Blue

I suppose the question works on a "I know what you mean" basis, or "All the words are there but not in the right order" basis. Grammar, spelling, sense. Please change this.

What is the only mammal that can not jump?
Giraffe
Badger
Rhinoceros
Elephant

Lots of mammals can not jump.

Please change this to "LAND" mammals

Thanks anyway!

Doh! Sorry. Character name is Felnor

Need a non-Emerald on world 1 to do the 5 draw quest. Please mail rather than attack as there are certain objects that need to be used to achieve this quest.

Much as I like the cute idea that dogs live in another time continuum to humans, can we please accept that, in the real world, one dog year is exactly the same as one human year? Show me any mathematics or physics to suggest otherwise and I'll alert the Nobel prize people. When a 25 year old dog dies, it dies at the age of 25, not 175. Honestly!

Here we go again! A question passed without checking:

who first invented the marathon?
hercules
philippides
socrates
achilles

NONE OF THEM!

The event was instituted in commemoration of the fabled run of the Greek soldier Pheidippides, a messenger from the Battle of Marathon (the namesake of the race) to Athens. The historical accuracy of this legend is in doubt.
The marathon was one of the original modern Olympic events in 1896, though the distance did not become standardized until 1921.

So the correct answer might be Baron Pierre de Coubertin as the founder of the modern Olympics.

If you want to go with the ancient story, get the spelling right!

Viridel! I am Canadian too. Coincidence, Eh?

I live in the UK and have to tell you there is only ever one willer of the Premier League every year. I guess the Tournament you are talking about is the FA Cup which is open to any team in England, or the League Cup which is open to the 92 teams from the premiership, the Championship and the two lower divisions.

Apart from that, I agree with your points entirely!

So I choose to do an adventure.
First I use up 9 crystal points.
Then I lose 494 SE

Then I get the question:

Quiz: How many of Carl Lewis' Olympic gold medals were won in long jump competitions?

I put the answer as 4 but...


Wrong answer, the correct answer was: 3.

So which of these 4 times did not count? 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992? I keep adding them up and it always comes to 4!

I checked with the IOC (International Olympics Committee). This is the page I got:

http://www.olympic.org/en/content/All-Olympic-results-since-1896/? AthleteName=&Category=&Games=&Sport=1313725&Event=349877&MenGender=true&WomenGen der=false&MixedGender=false&TeamClassification=false&IndividualClassification=tr ue&Continent=&Country=&GoldMedal=true&SilverMedal=false&BronzeMedal=false&WorldR ecord=false&OlympicRecord=false&TargetResults=true

4 (that's FOUR) lovely pictures of Carl Lewis against each of the FOUR gold medals for long jump he was awarded.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!

There is no point having 'experts' to accept questions if they are NEVER checked. It takes seconds to check such a straightforward question. DO IT!! Or ask people, like those who post here, to do it for you. We care. We bother. You don't.

Now give me back my crystal points and SE. You can't? Then resign and let people who can do the job do it.

Well, fun as it has been, the hockey debate has run its course, surely?

For the record: Field Hockey has been around in various forms for centuries, unlike its icy counterpart which is a relatively recent creation. That alone is enough to suggest that the original sport is called 'hockey' while its new spin-off should need extra help to identify it, hence 'ice' hockey.

The Olympics have had Hockey since 1908. The Winter Olympics (see how the word 'Winter' is added to make the distinction?) has only had Ice Hockey since 1924. Indeed, look at the official Olympics website and they refer to the two sports as 'Hockey' and 'Ice Hockey'. No need for the word 'Field'.

(Just a slightly wicked thought: If names being added mean so much/so little can we ask that the USA formally renounces the US part or the A part? It is confusing to the rest of the world trying to find out who you are. Are you the USA, the US or America? Sort that out first before you start reorganising the hockey world!)

And finally, minority does not mean incorrect. That really is a basic American error! (cf. Galileo vs. The Church etc etc etc)

How many litters in one galon?
2
5
4
6

Spelling makes this confusing.

I guess it should read 'How many litres in one gallon' (English spelling. I know some prefer 'liters')
The next problem is that there are 4.55 litres in a UK gallon so the "correct" answer of 4 is incorrect.
There are 3.785 liters in a US gallon so it is wrong there too.

Who said "A house divided against itself cannot stand"?
Thomas Jefferson
George Washington
George W. Bush
Abraham Lincoln

Linclon was quoting Jesus - Matthew 12:25. I reckon he has first say as the speaker of this quote. I bet GWB read that speech aloud at some time too so he must have said it. Not specific enough.

Sorry, Htwortwo, but NI is not part of Great Britain. This is why my passport says: "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"

While the protestant bible contains 66 books, how many books does the Catholic bible contain?
76
53
73
66

This is nonsense! There is no 'Protestant Bible' and 'Catholic bible'. This is wrong in so many ways. There are 66 books of the bible. There is also a collection of books (and additions to some of the 66) called 'The Apocrypha'. These are writings that were not included in the bible but are considered to contain good teaching. ALL Christian bibles may or may not contain these, depending on the publisher, not the denomination.

Apart from that, the question is wrong because ALL Protestant are Catholic. We affirm this in the words of the Creed: "We believe in one holy catholic church". If you need to make a distinction then you must refer to ROMAN Catholics.

Please remove this question!

What is the first name of Mr. Broson , the main actor of the Death Wish movies?

James
