While the answer is correct, unfortunatly it is not the only possible correct answer, as Bamboo is in fact a Grass, to Grass would be a correct answer as well.

I bought it and it's costly, but I use it for hanging only, what am I?
A pair of Earings
A Painting
A Car
Can't remember the 4th answer
I have a problem with this question. The way it is writen leaves you to assume a single Item and not multiple items by use of the word IT. In the way that the question is writen a Painting would be the correct answer as it is A painting. But A Pair of Earings is marked as the correct answer. The problem being the word Pair, which implies more than one item, which makes it inconsistant with the question.

Ok, your right, I and the Site Artical which I linked are wrong......wait that's not right.
While George Washington was the First "President of the United States under the Constitutioin", but as the artical and I have already stated. John Hanson wasn't the "President of the Constitutional Congress" , he was the first President of the United States under the Constitutional Congress".
He was still the President and was the President of the United States, in every sense of the word. It may have been the United States of America under the Contitutional Congress, but it was still The United States of America in which he was president over.

The question either needs to be changed to ask "Who was the first President of the United States of America under the United States Constitution, or it needs to be deleated, because George Washington was the first President under the United States Constitution.

That would be the fault of whatever system translates from English to which ever language you speak than, not that of the person asking the question. The question itself doesn't ask for the English name the way you have put it, it just askes which one of the bones isn't in the human ear. So whatever the hell the answer is, should be just as understandable to you if the system used to translate english to which ever language is your native language is working correctly.

Yea I dunno where I should be complaining about questions that got past evaluation but are either quite specialized or full of grammar errors.
So I will do it here.
Then there was this question about bones in the ear. "Which one of these isn't a bone in human ear?" or something like that.
Well how the kack am I supposed to know what the bones in the damn ear are IN ENGLISH? That's quite specialized information. First of all human anatomy to the lenghts of naming bones is medical school business, not common knowledge. Secondly, even if I happen to know them on my language, there are probably more non-native English speakers than native ones, and most of them are bound to have the same problem as I do, assuming they even know the ear bones.
Besides the international language of medicine is Latin, not English .

Urho Kekkonen, and no, I'm not from Finland, nor am I a History Buff, I just googled it, hell I didn't even have to open the first link, his name is in the descriptive sentance for the first link.

Assuming the other three besides Mike Tyson are real boxers (I don't know, this is information requires specific knowledge), the answer would be based on opinion, for instance Muhammad Ali isn't on this list, and I think HE is the Number One Pound for Pound king of Boxing.

No, this is just a bad question. If I shoot a movie in my basement, does that count? What if I make a DVD of it and give it to a video store? And how do you define "based on the bible"? Any film where a character goes "God damn it!" or "Jesus Christ!" has a biblical element. Beyond that - worldwide? You know what's going on in some film studio in Nowhereville, North Korea? Lastly, this non-confirmable number is constantly changing, meaning the question is possibly obsolete the day it's approved.
And very lastly - in an international game, let's keep religion out of it completely - things are always more harmonious with less religion involved, not more.
I really wish that either ONE Evaluator did the evaluating or they all got together and set a solid decisive set of rules on what is and is not an acceptable question, because I just got this
How many movies, worldwide, have been made based on the Holy Bible?
162
287
45
1875
The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
According to evaluators only a special group of people might know the answer.
From them, when I just resubmited it, since the first time it was submited it was rejected due to a spelling error, which indicates that it was an acceptable question to the person who looked at it that time.
Expecially when the question "In the Bible, who killed Abel" was considered an acceptable question, one which I have answered several times.
To me it seems like the evaluators are just not all together on what they find acceptable, considering my question has a much broader source (Movies based on the Bible), where as the accepted question has a much more limited source (A single section of the bible).

I put this question in the quiz and it has been rejected due to a spelling error. I would like to know where the spelling error is. I know that it is not in the answers because they are all numbers, so it has to be in the question somewhere, either that or (The more likely) the person checking it is seeing an error where there is none, as I typed this question into my WordPerfect 12 Document which I have set to auto check for spelling errors, and it isn't finding any either.

the question itself is wrong, since there are more than 1 statue of liberty in the world. haven't you watched the movie National Treasure? The question should specify what statue of liberty is being talked about. But i believe this question is about the statue in U.S.A. So, to avoid misunderstanding, i believe that this question should be more specific.

Normally would agree with you, expecially when given the chance to spit in the face of Organized Religion, but I'm gonna have to say that since the Bible (Either old or new testmant, I don't remember) is the #1 Selling book in the world, and the fact that several movies (The exact number I will not reveal as that will be my next Triva question but sufice it to say ALOT) have been made from it, and the fact that some bibilical events are used as a basis for some RP Games (In Vampire: The Masqurade, Cain the biblical slayer of Abel is the first Vampire) I'd say that it's common enough use.
Just saw a question I believe should not have been allowed in. It asked in the bible who killed able. Of course the correct answer is cain. But my problem with this is only a certain group of people would know this wouldn't they? Not everyone reads the bible or believes in that religion to know. I may be wrong on this and am not making a big deal about it. But do believe this shouldn't of been allowed.
