In Trivia, when I put in the correct answer it doesn't give me the points I deserve. Perhaps the creator of trivia can make sure all the right answers are spelled correctly and tell us if it needs to be capitalized, how many words it is and so on.
it does tell us how many words, however, it doesn't say if it is words and numbers, or just words, or just numbers.
Sometimes it doesn't say the number of words, and it certainly doesn't say words and numbers when sometimes, it is. I don't think the questions are case sensitive, however. If there are any specific questions you have, you can always send the staff an Email with your question about the question. Just make sure to include the ID of that question, located directly below the results.
Whatever database they are using, there are, indeed, a lot of misspelled words in both the questions and in some of the answers. There are also some incorrect answers. I've been playing this game a lot ever since it was put up on the site, and I am used to most of the quirks, but it does take a long time to get used to. It seems that most of the time, unless stated otherwise, they just want one word answers. Also, I wish they would find a trivia quiz with more current questions and answers. For example, one of the questions asks which day of the week January 1, 2001 will fall on. Hello? That happened almost 10 years ago. There are also other questions that are out of date.
I noticed a lot of questions asking about East and West Germany, in present tense. I wonder how old those questions are. Apparently older than 2001. Lol!
There are a number of geography questions that are out of date.
oh lol, that explains a number of thoings.
wondered why it kept being daft.
Well, they either need to fix it or remove it.
Users should be able to send in their own questions and answers and they should be taken off as soon as it is known and clarified that they are out of date. Also, there should be multiple choice questions so users don't have to worry about spelling.
I'm doing a read on this board and will pass along suggestions I think are good to the admins. This will be one of them. That the trivia database be updated, and that perhaps we add a multiple choice category. Allowing user submissions would be too time consuming, unless J/Chris can make it so that the cl's can add to the database. It would never be automatic. People would submit all sorts of horid things.
