Which mineral is NOT a variety quartz?
Ruby <- marked as correct
Milky

There is in fact a type of quartz called ruby quartz, and as two of the possible answers are Milky and Smoky, it must be assumed the "Ruby" option can refer to "Ruby quartz"

On W1 I'm part of the largest team, we have by far the fewest pieces, and on W2 I'm part of the smallest team, we have by far the fewest pieces.
On W1 I have found 3 pieces and I have the relic, on w2 5 pieces without the relic.

Sparta
Thebes <- marked as correct.

It is true that Thebes eventually defeated Sparta in 371 BC, but by then the war between Athens and Sparta was long over (it ended in 404 BC with a victory to the Peloponnesian League, of which Sparta was a leading power).

Who invented the zipper?
Thomas Edison
Whitcomb Judson *
Johannes Gutenberg
Alfred Nobel
This is an interesting one when I googled the question I found that there are actually two inventors listed, Elias Howe in 1851 and Whitcomb Judson 1893. In 1911 Gideon Sundback designed what is now recognised as the zipper.

What is mimicry?
Nickname for Mimi Rogers
It's an insect that looks like mantis
Ability to blend in to ones surroundings <- marked as correct
Synonim for cry-baby
That's not the correct answer, mimicry is the similarity of one species to another which protects one or both, and has nothing to do with blending in with ones surroundings, that would be camouflage.

Idézet: Tentacle - 2010.12.04. 07:25:13 Hi there
I don't get your quiz-approval system. Do i have to put in extremely nonsense-questions about hungary, kyrgyzistan or any (for central europeans) unknown national hero of any east-european country? Sorry, but this is frustrating. Look at the last question i received a negative decision:
"According to the amount of registered users, which is the most popular social network?
XING
facebook
myspace
none of the above"
PLEASE dont tell me this is "ambiguous" or anything else, this needs no thinking, it even is a no-brainer.
disappointed
Tac
I see two problems, the correct answer might change, so it needs a date, but "none of the above" is not allowed in a question. One reason for this is that the answers are displayed in a random sequence, eg. it might be the 1st option.

Idézet: V3nG3nC3X - 2010.12.03. 13:33:09 you are mistaken my friend, it takes 2(two) numbers(#s) to make the number(#) 10(ten) = a one(1) and a zero(0) (wrote it out in hopes it wouldn't confuse) unless I was misinformed and there's an advanced system of numerals beyond the standard 0 through 9 i was taught since preschool. If that is the case I feel I've been cheated, my intelligence and all I understand science to be built upon is but a fraction of the truth. This is what finding hidden knowledge feels like, its very humbling i assure you and i shall do all i can to remedy this. Aside from that though, the question is specific where it states "Write out" not add together or "in this mathematical problem 1-10".
Where I was afraid I had somehow added to much to an otherwise straight forward simple question, you have enlightened me to the fact that it was just the opposite and more clarification to each verb and noun should be applied to this intricate and complex equation. I will not let you down again, I will go back to the drawing board and construct only the finest spelled and punctuated question worthy of the gems that are already there. Indebted to you sir ~V~
Sorry to disappoint you but ten (10) is a two digit number. I don't hope I have destroyed your faith in the educational system of your country, but if they failed to teach you the difference between a number and a digit, I'm afraid they did not live up to their responsibility.

20

11
110
The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
Spelling mistakes in question or answers.
does the mental giant who denied this question need spell check to determine everything is right or is it to hard to figure out the question is asking you to actually get out a pen/pencil and write out 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and then count how many numbers there are. daft, dumb and in just the right position to be the judge of others. If I'm wrong about any of the spelling I'll happily apologize, and i know mistakes can be made but this was the 2nd time it was denied so it wasn't a mistake or possible over site. If English or American English is to hard to understand maybe taking it on as a second language isn't for those who are expected to make judgment calls.
1-10 = -9
The way you have phrased the question it might be either the series 1 through 10, "1-10", or -9, where the correct answers would be 10, 2, and 1 respectively. No it's not 11, 3, and 1. 10 is one umber not two.

I'm sure the Chinese did, but so did the other 3. As to who was the 1st that can be argued from now till the end of the world.
I doubt the Americans were first, considering they didn't exist when these tech's came about
Oh the Americans was there, both Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec, and Aztec were
the US wasn't though.

Idézet: Viridel - 2010.11.30. 20:09:13 What is the only capital in Europe that is not stationed on a river?
Madrid marked correct
The city is located on the river Manzanares
The most ancient recorded name of the city Magerit (for *Materit or *Mageterit ?) comes from the name of a fortress built on the Manzanares River in the 9th century A.D., and means "Place of abundant water."
"place of abundant water"... Could that be because it's build on a freakin' RIVER!?!?! Bloody hell.
Even if it had not been there are others: Copenhagen, no rivers or even large streams there, Stockholm, an archipelago, (Helsinki, close to a river but not actually on it, same with Reykjavik).. do I need to investigate it any further.

Besides it's an acronym for other things as well, most notably: Hash-based Message Authentication Code. Which is what shows up when you google HMAC.

The correct answer to what I think the question means is Panzerkampfwagen IV, that was the most numerous German tank during WWII, Tiger was merely the heaviest/strongest. Or did I completely misunderstand the question.

Little specific, don't you think? It's not even a movie.
And it's obviously wrong as well, must be the CD's Red Lantern Corps
More seriously though, not only is it to specific, there is no context. What is DC's Green Lantern Corps? does it have something to do with Washington DC?
