What illegal drug was once part of the Coca Cola formula?
marijuana
heroine
cocaine <--- marked correct
meth

This is false, coca cola was once made with an ingredient that comes from the same plant, but it never had cocaine in it. It is an urban myth and this question needs to be deleted vased on the stupidity of the person who wrote it.

Which U.S. President's face is not depicted on Mount Rushmore?
Theodore Roosevelt
John Adams
Ronald Reagan <--- marked correct
George Washington

I know I have seen this question on this forum before. Both Ronald Reagan and John Adams are correct since neither are on Mount Rushmore. Please change John Adams or delete the question since it is obviously misleading.

When was Jesus Christ born?
Passover
Christmas <-- marked correct
Easter
Thanksgiving


This question needs to be worded differently, it should be fixed to say something like "When is Jesus Christ's birthday celebrated?" Since scientific study has proven that Jesus's birthday was most likely in may or april not in december whent he catholic church decided to adjust it too when christmas started to take off.

Just got a question that asked what was the only gold plated nintendo game. The correct answer they gave was the legend of Zelda. While this was the first gold plated it was not the only one. The sequel to this game Zelda II: The Adventure of Link was also sold as a gold plated game. Here is a link to copy for sale on ebay.

There was also some rare copies of some games given out at nintendo world championships that were gold plated as well, since these might not count since not widely available I can understand, but there definately was more than one gold plated game mass produced. Please change the text of the question.

This question needs to be more specific that is talking about Dr. Frankenstein from the movie version not the book version. Since in the book he has no assistant named Igor. Thanks

Who was the pioneer of RPG?
Todd Lockwood
Richard Awlinson
Gary Gigax
R. A. Salvatore

Gary gigax is a pioneer of RPG's but he is not the first. He actually developed Dungeons and Dragons off of a love he had for playing a War RPG. IF the question was changed to 'Who was the pioneer of fantasy RPG?" then the question would be correct. Please correct this.

Which of these actors did not play as "James Bond"?
Woody Allen
Timothy Dalton
George Lazenby
Peter Sellers

There are two answers too this question, woody allen and peter sellers. Since in the casino royale movie that author of the question was referencing peter sellers played the character Evelyn Tremble. That is how he credited in the movie. This question should be changed.

She wields the broken sword, and separates true kings from tyrants.
Wrath
Mercy
Greed
Envy


This is a very specialized question. First off it is a riddle used in a video game add on. That while I am sure it is a good game I have not played. It took me nearly the whole 5 mins to find an answer for it. There is no mention as to where this is from at all. I am sure that many different legends have something close to this, so even if the video game used it from something the question is very very very vague. I reccomend deletion, which is not something I usually suggest, but this question is in no terms even close to complying with the rules for the quiz system.

Who invented the wireless remote control?
Robert Adler (marked correct)
Robert W. Bower
Ami Argand
Trevor Baylis

The author has robert adler as the inventer of theremote control which is wrong, it was actually invented a year earlier by Eugene Polley in 1955 for the Zenith corporation. the device was called the flashmatic and used photo cells instead of the ultrasound like Alder's who developed his off of Polley's design. Since polley isn't option this question needs to be changed or deleted thanks.

up to how much does a blue whale weigh?
250000 kg
125000 kg
136000 kg
100000 kg

This question needs to be deleted since technically there is no real way of knowing, since we can't actually weigh a blue whale. It is all just approximations and since it is approximations they shouldn't be allowed in quiz questions.

In the poem, the Iliad, which statement is true?
King Priam treats the hero Hector like a son
Calypso is a nymph who turned Greek Warriors into pigs
the hero Achilles likes King Agamemnon
the Priestess Chryseis likes King Agamemnon

This seems a little bit too highly specialized. I have read this poem in both high school and college, yet I can't remember enough of it to be able to give this level of specifics. This isn't like asking who wrote it or anything this is asking something a little bit too specific for quiz questions. I think this should be deleted

I just got this question

what was the time Usain Bolt ran to win the 2008 Olympics in the 100m?

I don't remember all of the times. two of them where

9.68
9.58 <-- marked correct by the writer of the question.

to which the wiki site for Usain Bolt has it as 9.68 for the olympics, and he ran a 9.58 in berlin in 2009 to beat his record so the question is wrong please change the answer thanks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usain_Bolt

ultraviolet isn't in the visible wave spectrum. So the key term is visible

What softworks is Morrowind?

Elder scrolls III
Bethesda
Bloodmoom
Zenimax


What is softworks? do you mean software? I looked up Bethesda and there compnay is called Bethesda Softworks, but softworks isn't another term for software. So maybe please fix this so the question isn't so confusing.

Who is NOT related to Darth Vader in the Star Wars movies?

Queen Amidala
Luke Skywalker
Princess Leia Organa
Han Solo

The correct answer which I got was Han Solo, and I was able to infer what the author of this meant. But techincally it has two answers, since when Padme Amidala was the queen of Naboo she had no relationship with Darth Vader AKA anakin Skywalker other than a friend. They didn't get married until after she was just a senator. So I would just suggest changing the Queen part to her first name instead to cause less confusion.

I just got this question.

spaceman
nurse

To someone who is not German this is a little confusing, is the show also called Derrick? Not saying this totally a bad question, just needs to be reworked so it can be eaiser to find the answer for none Germans or people who get German television.
