Which national team have never won FIFA World Cup?

have-->has
there should be an article before FIFA.

(psst, Dancer, i'm not an evaluator. )

what do you check to find a horses age?

horses-->horse's
w-->W

is each phase 7 days, as suggested by the first post in this thread or 10 days, as suggested by the misc/landragor page?

^ i think Sbart is right.

What color has the German flag?

has-->is
space after commas in answers

killer of all, another possibility is that the evaluators are validly determining that your quiz question was ambiguous. "invented" according to what culture? couldn't the argument be made that G-d, one of your answers, invented all numbers including zero?

What are the wooden sticks Asian people use to eat with called

i've met Asian people who do not use these wooden sticks. question shouldn't be so broad-sweeping.

"What state is nick named the thousand lakes state?"

it's known as "the land of 10,000 lakes."
nicknamed is one word.

"What nationality is Mel Gibson ?"

while he was raised in Australia, he was actually born in America.

i'm pretty sure i've seen someone else raise this one a while back, but evidently it's still in there:

3. History: Events from any part of the world are ok as long as they had a major impact at least on one nation or country. Inventions, wars, natural disasters, politics, anything is good as long as it follows that rule. Example of bad question: ""What year did the 12th president of X country died"" Dates should be widely spaced, so if something happened at 1809, put as answers at least (approximate suggestions)1830, 1809, 1821, 1789, not 1809, 1810, 1808,1807. The idea is that a player that has some idea of the event to make an educated guess, not scroll through google to find the date.

"What animal has the strongest bite?"

i'm pretty sure the beaver doesn't have the strongest bite in the animal kingdom.
how about:
"Which of the following animals has the strongest bite?"
