They all are: I found this definition in medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com:
skeletal tissue:
the bony, ligamentous, fibrous and cartilaginous tissue forming the skeleton and its attachments.

Assuming "From head to toe" means the full height the answer is 443m, the 381m is without the "pinnacle"

Pluto is not classed a moon, but a dwarf planet, so I do agree Pluto does not belong on this list as it makes the question somewhat ambiguous.

Good ideas there Vidrial, I only see a problem with the English as 1st language part of g) 1st it's difficult to implement and 2nd it might work against the the whole point of your suggestion. To solve this I think it would suffice to have one of the evaluators of every question being native English speakers.

Btw. you having to repost this exposes a fundamental flaw in this forum system where only a select group can start new threads, good ideas and valid questions, etc. get buried under chaff.

Thanks for the nice and civil words.
If the "Aramaic and Hebrew" doesn't give away the fact that "ethnic" in this case is Jewish then I don't know what would.
As to the validity of calling it an ethnic celebration in the 1st place: not all Jews are ethnic Jews, and the celebration is a religious one.
Had the question been "... what religious celebration ..." it would have been correct, and a good question.

Found two others while searching one was Thoth the other was Yah.

"ethnic celebration" sorry I was under the impression Bar Mitzvah was a Jewish celebration, celebrated by all Jews not only ethnic Jews (people descendent from the Israeli tribes)
(yes I hate misplaced political correctness, and calling a Jewish celebration an ethnic celebration is misplaced in this context)


Retinol is also Vitamin A and is not a Carotene, furthermore both Alpha and Gamma Carotene are also are vitamin A, but less important.

Do we take this one again?
I'd rather not, but please keep the language civil.
The fact still remains that the question is correct and a good one.

Ran into this one again:
What is couscous made from?
Rice
Maize
Wheat
Semolina * witch is wheat

So this question has two correct answers, please remove either Semolina or Wheat, as Semolina is made of Wheat.

I have two questions that isn't wrong as such, but I'm surprised they made it through the evaluation process:


I have tried to search this one, and as far as I can see I'd have to search for all four answers for each of the four composers to get this one right.
I would have classified this one as "uninteresting lexical knowledge"


As a non native English speaker I must say this one also belongs to the "uninteresting lexical knowledge" group, (or even specialist knowledge) and I have no idea how to manage the required research in 5 minutes. First I'd have to know what a "four-letter word" is, as it is not a word of four letters, but a profane word, and that it might be longer or shorter than 4 letters. Then I'd have to look them all up or find some research into the matter, which I have failed to do in more than 5 minutes.
And finally what is considered a "four-letter word" does change over time.

A primary color? red is a "color" not a "kind of color"


The family is Apterygidae, not Kiwi, which makes this question wrong. It should be: "Which bird belongs to the family Apterygidae?"


Actually it was the state capital in 1851 as well.

This question is very poor English, to the degree that it could be considered wrong. What is the speed of boiling water? Or if we say it's the time to raise the temperature from room temperature to boiling, then I'd say there are to many factors to answer it.



This one needs as a minimum a date, governments of countries change all the time.



Well Turkey is trying to become a member of the EU, so this question needs a date.



Fun tide-bit but not what I'd call a good question.

It does say "if you begin walking in" but the answer marked as correct is wrong, as the question does not say "before you begin to leave the forest" but "before you are actually leaving the forest" and you are not leaving the forest till you pass out of it.

currently? This one needs a date, as higher buildings will most likely be built in the future.



That Illuminati is not a criminal association is debatable, and besides the name has been used buy many historical and fictional groups.


Actually it's 20 seconds, no wait, 20 milimeters, no 20 inches, no 20 eggs...... a score is 20 and has nothing more to do with time than any other number.
Maybe I should ask "How long is 25?" and have the possible answers 20 years, 100 years, 25 years, 1 year.

In that case 2 bricks would be 4 kg, not 6.

But the fact remains that the equation is: Brick = 2kg + 1/2 Brick => Brick = 4kg => 2 Brick = 8kg

big?
The Earth's mantel is a roughly 2900km thick shell with a radius of roughly 6300km, so how big is it? definitely not 2900 km!
So to conform with the possible answers the question should be: "How thick is the Earth's mantle?"

Idézet: Viridel - 2010.08.26. 04:38:16

It doesn't say that a brick weighs 2kg, it says that that half a brick weighs 2kg, it really is simple: Put one brick on one side of a scale, then on the other side a 2kg weight and half a brick, and the scale is in balance. How much do you have to remove from each side to have a 2kg weight on one side? Correct! Half a brick!

This one is still in the database:


His real name was Marion Mitchell Morrison, and he was born Marion Robert Morrison, so 3 of the 4 answers could be considered correct, please get that question out of the database, or provide 3 wrong answers for it, not just one!!

Also got this one:
What is the cruel horde in doomlord?
Where do I get this information? I would consider all hordes to be cruel, I did guess it correctly though.

Actually it's Robert Neville. There is a book by that name and a film from 2007, based on the book. in the film Will Smith plays Robert Neville.

There is a similar question in the database, and one of the 3 countries might adopt it, invalidating the question, so at minimum a year is needed.

I surely hope the reward at the end of the event is worth it.

I have to do it once a day or I will not regenerate my mana fast enough for duelling. And as a dueller XP is a penalty, the way the combat system is set up, the aim is to get as much SE for each XP, (a level 20 player has no combat benefits over a level 17 player with the same skills, attributes, and equipment.)

The result of my 1st activation:
So all in all a loss of 796 SE while receiving 28 XP!

Edit: Miklos, just addressed most of my "complaints" While I was writing this post so I have removed them.
