Tormod Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Posted May 7, 2006 Don't forget that everyone can take the quizzes, even non-members! So get all your friends to take them as well. :confused: Quote
Tormod Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Posted May 7, 2006 Nice...our host went offline about ten minutes after I launched the quiz contest...and we were down for almost two hours. Interesting that I managed all the upgrades this weekend without any downtime, and when I'm 99% finished the server falls out. :) Quote
Tormod Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Posted May 7, 2006 And then another hour of downtime...great! Quote
Jay-qu Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 bugger - are will all good now, how come we got downed so much? Quote
Tormod Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Posted May 8, 2006 bugger - are will all good now, how come we got downed so much? DOS attack. :) And the network guys who deliver the bandwidth to our host were not on duty! :( :( But anyway...let's discuss quizzes. Anyone manage a complete quiz yet? Quote
Tormod Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Posted May 8, 2006 From my statistics I can see that at all quizzes have been rated at least once. The game is on. :) Quote
Jay-qu Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 I have taken one - The general science quiz, it had a mistake - A question about the science of stars I think it was and the correct answer was Astrology :) Quote
Racoon Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 Your quiz was tough Jay-qu. I should have had a pen and paper with my calculator before I took it! :) think I scored less than 0 :( I took my own Biology quiz and missed a couple! :D threw a few easy ones in, but that is what I go through at school!! so Nah!:) I'm rating my quizzes high, and yours low! :( :D Just Kidding... I will take BigDogs in a day or two.I also know less about Singapore than I thought! Quote

Jay-qu Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 I should have picked it up when entered it LOL but I was just cutting and pasting, I was pretty zoned out - so tired! Quote
Tormod Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Posted May 8, 2006 So how many people have taken the quizzes yet? Come on! Quote
Racoon Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 So how many people have taken the quizzes yet? Come on! I've taken Orby's, Jay-qu's and the three from the other dude.His general Science quiz was pretty easy, but the other two of his were kinda' tough. My Biology quiz seemed tougher then when I wrote it. :confused: Too hard of a quiz makes them not as fun as they should be. Orby's quiz was pretty good. Jay-qu's was harder than I anticipated. I should have done it when I was more alert... BigDog's is next.But I need to put on my thinking cap first. :hihi: So far so good. :) Quote
TheBigDog Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 I liked Orb's quiz. I took one of Rac's and it was good too. Then I started JQ's and my brain hemoraged by the fourth question. I need to go back and restart after my vision becomes clear again. I think that I may need to send some clarifications to a couple of my questions. On in particular may be so obscure that only luck may allow a correct answer. I will provide hints if people don't understand the reference in the three images question. Also, C1ay informs me that Millenium Falcon should have only one 'n', but has two in the teaser. May in the test too. Bill Quote
InfiniteNow Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 I took 'em all and feel like a total ****tard... but I really enjoyed how much of the writers personality came through in each. I like how BigDog referenced previous questions as you went through, and I also realize that I know absolutely nothing about Singapore! :lol: Quote
Tormod Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Posted May 9, 2006 ...and I also realize that I know absolutely nothing about Singapore! Well you do now. :) I agree, lots of variation and all the quizzes are rather good. It's going to be a close call. I can reveal that all the quizzes have received ratings and none is standing out as a clear winner yet. Quote
InfiniteNow Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 Some questions didn't make sense. (I'm making this up, but) Some would say stuff like, "The greenest tree is often" 1) Rice Crispies2) Singapore3) Some other thing that doesn't seem tied to the question... Is this a result of how the author wrote the question, or some problem during the transition into our quiz module? Quote
