See below,
sorry.

Love this one............

Question.- The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics was held in what country?

I suspect there is a clue in the question, and grammatically would be better to say "Were held".

Lol, interesting sure.
But a euphemism and maybe just a touch obscure though?

Again from the same wikipedia page..................

"The term is known, or even infamous, among the generations that were born in parts of China or Chinatowns (depending on the development of the infrastructure) before 1960."

**Moved to quiz errors.**

Another one, or is this just me?

Question - What is known as nightsoil? WTF!!!!

Answer is given as excrement, Really???? Where? When ? By whom?

In my 40 +years, i've never once heard this term.
Someone please enlighten me.

Not having a go at Gemini or any of the other mods that do a good and thankless job, but sometimes it seems baffling what is " Of an uninteresting lexical knowledge !!!" and what is accepted.

My valid question was rejected because people would have to think about it, but this is accepted.....................
.I am big, I am mean and I am brown. What am I ?
Pig.
Cow.
Bear, marked as correct!!!!
Elephant

Apart from the ridiculousness, surely pigs cows and elephants can be big, brown and mean too. You ever had a wild pig chasing you? tell him he is not mean.
And since when were all bears brown?

Question-
If you were numbering the top 100 Doomlords from 1 to 100, how many times would you use the number 9?
Answer 20 times.


Was rejected and i got this message....."According to evaluators the answer is an uninteresting lexical knowledge."
and this warning !!!!
"Attention: Please try to ask respondable questions, and take care to mark the good answer. If you do not take care, you may lose the opportunity to write questions in the future, and you may also lose the opportunity to acquire soul energy this way."


If you write the numbers from 1-100 you will use the number 9 ,20 times.
How is this an uninteresting lexical knowledge!!!!??

And wtf does an "an uninteresting lexical knowledge" actually mean?

Question-
When was held the first women's boxing world championship?


Grammar needs tidying up.
When was the first women's boxing world championship held?

Question- What kind of animal was Toto?
?????????????????????????????????????
I had a tortoise called Toto.........................................

Surely a little vague.

Not sure how this one got in, "Who was the largest hun king?"
Not even sure what this means, Largest? tallest? fattest?
Do Huns even have kings?!!!

Not sure about this one................

What is the most dangerous animal in Africa?

Lion
Hippopotamus
Mosquito
Forgotten this one,

The answer is flagged as Mosquito. Fair enough the mosquito is responsible for the most deaths, but it is not an animal.
And I think the question could be worded a lot more specifically.
**Modified to admit that a Mosquito is indeed an animal!!! too much brandy that night methinks!!!**

Question-What legendary children's poet wrote The Giving Tree"?

The quotation (") mark after tree.

I thought that might be the case, Will this apply to the Landragor boosts as well?
A little more clarity in the Quests, would save confusion.

Question- What was the first capital of ancient Egypt?

Answer given as Memphis.

According to Wikipedia and a couple of other sites Thinis (or This) was the first capital.

I have the "Increase magic by three on your character sheet" quest.
I won a lesser stone of magic in the auction, but this has not registered for the temple quest.
Is this deliberate or a bug?
If deliberate, then the quest should be more specific.

Question-"Montezuma's Castle is located in what USA state?"

Grammar, should be, is located in which American State.

Or even better, In which U.S State is Montezuma's Castle located ?

Hi CG and Manunkind,

Just a minor point, (though my English teacher certainly wouldn't say so.) But when tidying up the questions can you add full stops after answers? I'm not saying that you don't, but so many answers don't have them.

As a sometime writer/journalist, these things irritate.

Seeing fewer and fewer mistakes, so great work by you both.

Question-Which of the following is a famous poem by William Shakespeare?

answer=
Adma and Eve.
Even though its one of the wrong answers, surely it should still be Adam?

Moved to spelling errors.
