Non, legs have neither dogs, cats, nor ducks, on the other hand dogs, cats and ducks have legs. It's plain bad English, the question should be "How many legs does 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 3 ducks have?"
The 3 pyramids resemble the position of 3 stars in ...

Ok from the possible answers I was able to deduce that it must be the Giza pyramids, but there are other pyramids in the world, Chich'en Itza, also has 3 pyramids, these are stepped pyramids though.
How many "o" do you hear when you pronunce "Doomlord" ?
3
2
00
1 < marked as correct
The issue with this question is the definition of the sound "o"
It can be argued that both 1, 2, and 3 "o" are correct. In English "oo" is for the most part pronounced distinctively different from a single "o" but is this still an o sound?

Just did again, and guess what I found: two different answers to the question, one image has orange, blue, purple, and yellow, the other has orange, blue, purple, and red.
My complaint is not that it's to difficult to google the answer (btw. since when was the quiz a google test) but that the answers are to close, the options lists 6 colours, and you have to remember them all to get it right, without google, as 2 of the wrong answers list 3 correct colours. It's the same as with time-spans like: 1991-1994, 1992-1995, 1993-1996, 1994-1997.

I have several issues with that question:
1st. The question is badly worded, should be "Witch drive letter is no longer used on computers?"
2nd. The answer is: no drive letter is used by computers, some operating systems use drive letters, it's not native to computers.
3rd. You can still find computers using two floppy disk drives.
Not so much as an error, but more a question about a question...
Q:
Which letter drive is no longer used by computers?
A:
/B drive
but there is also "/A drive" listed as a possible answer.
my question is - do computers still use /A drives(floppy disks)?
I thought they were also obselete

Since writing the above I have "won" two fights on points but lost them to execution, and I noticed a difference, the fights won on points (or almost won) were when I had not been fighting 3 times or more within the hour prior to the attack, so to me it seems that the fatigue factor also counts when being attacked.

Please post the names of both you and the player you attack. Its the only way to answer your question since i have to see personally all the aspects of both of you.
I have a question regarding duels, the faq states that two evenly matched players should should each win around 50% of the duels between them. There is one player that have the same weapon and spell as me, and all abilities within one or two points difference, mine being the higher, (he does have a higher execution level than me). He has attacked me several times, and won every single encounter (only one of them to execution).
Being in sapphire horde he should hit harder than me, but he does not only hit harder, he hits more frequently as well, as does his pet, he rarely misses while I, and my pet, miss at least half the time. The normal outcome of the encounters is that he has caused around 2 times the damage I have.
I can't see his hatred level, but it must be very high if it is the cause for this difference, and his duel victories does not suggest that he has hatred to my horde.
So what can be causing this difference?

*You will get 50% more every duel.
**You are right, the additional percent of looted SE is equal to the percentage of the opponents infection.
***You can take one above max with 5 points with mind boost. Beside it from level 68, 78, 88 you can improve one-one additional skill above max without the mind boost.

Sorry, but I don't really understand the reasoning behind that conclusion. Is base level added to actual level, or is it some sort of multiplier? In the example both pets have the same total levels (base+actual).
Another question:
What are the attack, defence, and damage values for a pet?
Or how do I judge how much effect the pet has on the outcome of a fight?
Base level lets you know how powerfull your pet is, before you start leveling it. So if you have a pet base level 5 and actual level 20 and the next is base level 15 and actual level 10, then the second one will already have more HP, attack and absorption than the previous, even if the actual level is lower

Just did a little research on this as it seems to come up every now and again.
This question is indeed a bad question, not only because the correct answer isn't among the ones given: The neck tie can be traced as far back as the Ancient Egyptians and the Ancient Chinese. The modern version of the neck tie was not "invented" by the American Jessie Langsdorf, he did however create and patent the most common way of sewing the current day straight neck tie.
Historically the modern day fashion of wearing a neck tie was created by Parisians that has seen a Croat mercenary band wearing their traditional knotted neckerchiefs, during the Thirty Years' War. This is the fashion of wearing it though, not the tie itself, as this can be traced back much farther in history, and prehistory.
Idézet: Hyannis - 2010.03.28. 06:38:15
Sure it is. The God is also American, right?
Which nation invented the tie? Options given Americans (America), Croats (Croatia) and two other nations that I can't remember. This is a bad question to begin with because it is an individual that creates or designs what we wear, what we use etc. The answer given was Croats (Croatia), which is incorrect. The father of the modern necktie was the American tie manufacturer Jesse Langsdorf, who in 1920 patented the all-weather wrinkle-free tie. The modern necktie is part of the evolution of men's neckwear that has taken place for hundreds of years. So the correct answer is Americans (America)
Sure it is. The God is also American, right?
Just did a little research on this as it seems to come up every now and again.
This question is indeed a bad question, not only because the correct answer isn't among the ones given: The neck tie can be traced as far back as the Ancient Egyptians and the Ancient Chinese. The modern version of the neck tie was not "invented" by the American Jessie Langsdorf, he did however create and patent the most common way of sewing the current day straight neck tie.
Historically the modern day fashion of wearing a neck tie was created by Parisians that has seen a Croat mercenary band wearing their traditional knotted neckerchiefs, during the Thirty Years' War. This is the fashion of wearing it though, not the tie itself, as this can be traced back much farther in history, and prehistory.
