Just a thought, but it could be considered ambiguous because (to point out a fact)
The mane of a lion grows darker as the lion grows older.

Also, studies have shown (from National Geographic) that if a male becomes better nourished or relocates to a different habitat; his mane may become darker as well.

So, following these facts, re-read your answers you provided with the question and think about it.

Ok....uhm... let's look at this from an evaluators perspective:

First, try creating a question that isn't a statement.

"What statue was found on the Greek island of Melos in 1820?"

and the another reason that I can think of, is "De" should be "de".....

Actually...it's Charles Buchinsky, but Bronson will do.

Perhaps because Ireland is no longer considered to be one country?

The same problem could arise by asking this question:



Perhaps you should refine your question to this:

Also, you might need to space out your answers.
3
4
5
6
Might be deemed too close to one another.

A part of me agrees...

While another part feels that naming the movie itself might alleviate this, but then again...the name might be censored.

Idézet: SkullBreaker - 2010.06.30. 00:19:39

What?

No...a drill would not cause an earthquake....

An earthquake is a natural occurrence.

Just because you can urinate from the second story balcony does not qualify it as rain.
Perhaps you should study up a bit more on earthquakes.

Another fact:

The country with the largest number of annual snakebite deaths each year is Sri Lanka with the leading cause of death being a bite from a Russell’s viper.

So, if you think about this, wouldn't the Russell’s Viper be the most dangerous considering how many humans have been recorded to have been killed by them?

Again, not my question...

BUT...
In at least 4 other shorts (The illustrious Client, The Empty House, His Last Bow, and The Norwood Builder) Doyle has Holmes drone on and on about the Professor...

No other villain of the Holmes stories (including the short stories) is brought up as much with such an admirable regard, as Moriarty was.

You should read "The Final Problem"

Uh...well....technically, all the answers are WRONG...

Why?
Because it is that animal....not a "KIND OF"

It's the Scientific Name (Latin) for the animal itself...no other animal is a Tursiops Truncatus.

....that's like asking "What kind of software is Mac OS X?"
and having the correct answer to be "Apple"

Are ya'll paying attention here?


Oh...and to respond to this:
Idézet: vajenka - 2010.06.29. 09:49:47

You missed the key words: " food of these foods" not...." foods that are listed on some random list from out on the internet"
No offense but...you should have tried this list:

http://www.weightlossforall.com/carbohydrates-vegetables.htm

All values are calculated from raw vegetables.
(yes, cucumbers and tomatoes are not technically vegetables but....well...that isn't the issue being discussed.)

Disclaimer: that was not my question anyhow, just stating that research should be done thoroughly before debates are posted.

Idézet: abdovolcano - 2010.06.28. 21:57:54

You are correct, but;

You should elaborate on this.
The origins of Mitsubishi is Japanese (Asia) but was bought by DaimlerChrysler (which is/was a German company) but was bought up by the Mitsubishi Group and is now Mitsubishi Motor Company (Back to the Japanese)

The origins of Jaguar is England but is now owned by Tata Motors (India)

Nothing.

Retracted.

Oh...where to begin?
Just spelling errors.

Here...this is how it should have been written (Notice the difference)



Why did I add that first part to the question?
Some studies find that GHB (even at low doses) mixed with alcohol is more dangerous than the correct answer of the above question.
Also..."weed" was changed to marijuana. (We all know that is what you meant)
Some weeds are deadly to humans on their own.

spelling of Russia is wrong...

BUT most importantly...

I suppose it depends on how you list the countries.
By Volume?
By Carats?
By Income?

Ok...well...choose one, and the "Correct Answer" is still...NOT correct.

But hey....don't take my word for it.

Look at the most RECENT news topic concerning the world’s largest diamond producer:
http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/business/worlds-largest-diamond-producer- seeks-training-in-india_100316226.html

Clearly this question needs to be removed from the quiz database.

edit:
Unless the person who devised this question, was asking about the origins of The Golden Jubilee.
In that case, the question needs to be completely re-worded.

Under Misc-Acceleration-Faster quiz
Did you enable this?
It might explain this.

For instance, normally you can start 10 hunts, answer all questions and then cancel the 10 hunts.
Then later, when you start 10 hunts again, you do not have to do the quizzes (because you have already done this)

SO...
If you enabled the "Faster Quiz" feature:
Could it have been possible, that you answered 5 quiz questions (giving you 10 answered questions total) and only hunted 9 times?
Leaving 1 question left to be used for a hunt?

(The above was just an example)

Idézet: MartinBV - 2010.06.22. 15:37:40

So, in other words, the question should be amended to read:
"When was 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' first published?"

Idézet: Bonsai Cactus - 2010.06.22. 12:22:52

I believe this was covered before.

Technically, there are three organs listed.

Most would assume, an organ is internal and that is incorrect.

Hair is the only one among the choices for an answer that is NOT an organ.


Side fact:
Your skin is a prime example of an organ.

Idézet: dodo888 - 2010.06.21. 22:18:34

That might be a "Grey Area"...

Personally, I agree with you; that there are 2 answers given, and it needs to be amended.

A few more inaccurate Quiz Questions:



Two answers are correct, even if one is misspelled.



So, the others ARE totally deaf?






Technically, the line is actually "After all, tomorrow is another day."

First.... 1884 was probably supposed to be 1984.
So, I agree that the question should be shown again with the answer in a database under the "Quiz" tab, like our Previous Battles.

Second...Arnold was originally cast as Kyle Reese, Lance Henrikson was originally cast as The Terminator.
Shortly after screen tests (where actors read lines so the Production Crew can get a feel of how the movie will progress)

James Cameron (the director) decided to recast the two actors in the roles we now know of them to play.

Michael Biehn (who did play Kyle Reese) was rejected after his first audition, but after Arnold and Lance had been recast, Biehn was brought back for a second audition and given the part.

All of this information, can be found at IMDB.
