[Techno]

I had one the other day.

My Answer of Obama was wrong.

[Tepala]

also
one question said what is the statue of liberty holding
choices basketball baseball and torch
chose torch and got it wrong

[Jaguarrl]

I posted this one on the text thread, but will repeat the screenshot here. I picked Washington as the answer to the question and it was marked incorrect.

[monstermadness]

lolololol for fail xD

I love this feature. Something I can do to get exp that isn't grind, collect, or afk. I actually feel like I've earned it after answering many questions correctly.

However, there is a problem: The font is far too large for the quiz window. Many questions have the end chopped off and you have to guess at what the question is.

I have found one so far that I know is incorrect:

What color is the White House?

Blue
White
Green


(the game says it isn't white!)

Overall though, most of the questions are grammatically correct and vary in difficulty sufficiently enough to make it a challenge. I am scared to try the "these are too easy" option, as I can only pull off about 40% unless it is heavy on science questions. I will tomorrow though.

[Taekon]

I find this question from Grandpa Smart a little hard to answer ):

[Tepala]

yeah Taekon there's one question that said
Bob has a job.
I was like wtf

[Untamed]

There was one question that said 'Who is the best reggae singer'... answer was of course Bob Marley... but isn't that an opinion - not fact?

[hypnocat]

Can a revolver be silenced?

1. yes
2. no
3. some can

(note that yes must equal some can. The only way it can be no is if no revolvers ever can be silenced. So the answer is either 1 and 3 OR 2.)

So I picked yes, because of the M1895 Nagant Revolver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagant_M1895) and the OTs-38 Stechkin Silent revolver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTs-38_Stechkin_silent_revolver). Apparently Grandpa Smart doesn't know his guns, cause he said that's wrong.

It helps to be playing next to a gold medalist marksman former special ops. ;)

the answer "yes" refers to that all revolvers of all types can be silenced which isn't possible. which leaves only one answer left which is "some can"

[hypnocat]

I guess I use ternary logic? Where Yes = true and no = false, Since TRUE OR TRUE equals TRUE, and TRUE OR FALSE also equals TRUE, one can infer that TRUE OR UNKNOWN equals TRUE, as well. "Yes" and "Some" therefore both are correct, and the answer can't be some and not yes.

Anyway, found another one.

Which famous person was Chinese?

1. Einstein
2. Confucius
3. DaVinci

I picked 2, and it was wrong. :)

Yeah, there are a few "opinion" style questions. ;)

I'm having this issue too. I'm unable to see what the end of some questions are.

[hypnocat]

Which of these organisms can illuminate itself?

a. firefly
b. lion
c. tiger

Firefly should be the answer, but the game says its wrong. (glowing lions and tigers and bears?)

[hypnocat]

Which country is famous for the oil?

a. Saudi Arabia
b. Iceland
c. Jamaica

answer ought to be a, unless "oil" is slang for something else. :cool:

ah cool, i thought that was just for the guy with the quizzes about zentia, not grandpa smart!

thanks honeybee :)

[zwild]

So Grandpa Smart's quiz is going away?

Well there is another nail in Zentia's coffin for me. His quizzes are one of the high points of me logging in.

I don't even do the Zentia quiz guy since I have no idea what the majority of the references mean because I am too low of level to have experienced them ingame. :rolleyes:

[AnAdolt]

The Quiz Contest is to provide more questions and update the selection of the quizzes. Because currently, there are alot of wrong answers and messed up questions so people, including me, don't even bother doing the quizzes. The contest is to ensure people will participate in the quizzes so they will be staying around.

[Tepala]

Zwild grandpa Smart will still be there
he just wont ask the same questions

I like his questions though. I am a font of useless knowledge so answering trival questions is easy.

Now trying to answer questions about a game that I have never experienced the content in is quite... well I was going to say hard, but I think impossible is more in line. ;)

[hypnocat]

putting this in on the hopes that devs listen and keep grandpa smart a non-game trivia minigame.

"which of the following is earth's heavenly satellite?"

a. moon
b. basketball
c. football

It said the moon is wrong.

[AutumnalDusk]

Which of these does not border the USA

Canada
Mexico
Brazil <--correct, but "wrong"
