Make sure your kids are handy to help you tomorrow (Saturday). The category is Disney characters.

I hope you all watched Dumbo and Snow White as a kid.

Oh yeah, we will all get the same questions. I think it will be a mix of new & old movies/cartoons. Not certain.

As long as it doesn't ask where Mickey Mouse went to college I should be ok.:gun1:

I must say that between this and fantasy baseball, you sure are becoming quite the whiner! :hurt::lol:



:darthvader:

That was the hardest quiz in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yellowprison:

That was the hardest quiz in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yellowprison:

Yes, Disney was ridiculously impossible. :frusty: That's the worst I've done for a while. :sssh:

wow. my guessing game was on fire today. safe to say every single one was a guess.

That quiz was :frusty: :frusty: :frusty:. After spending a lot of time rationalizing all of the language questions successfully, I blew some of the other ones trying to make up time...questions on movies I've probably watched more than a dozen times with my kids a few years back.

Like they say, "memory is always the second thing to go". :sssh:

uh oh. an australia quiz tomorrow. hope i don't embarass myself. please no crocodile dundee questions!

uh oh. an australia quiz tomorrow. hope i don't embarass myself. please no crocodile dundee questions!"now, THAT's a knife" :D

I have $176 now. Only $124 more and I can afford Robodog. He looks mean. Better watch out Slippy! He'll be programmed to attack you.

Or...I dunno. That dancing kitty for $320 looks cool too.

Disney characters in Finnish? Doh! Yet somehow I guessed right on those...:laugh:

Prof, how is is that science is the category that's sparking your comeback, and yet you got your butt kicked on literature earlier this week? Did you get 9 Dark Tower questions or something, like linwood?

Yeah the first 4-5 questions about finnish Disney really through me and all of my guesses were wrong. How about Ebonic Disney questions next time:)

I must say that between this and fantasy baseball, you sure are becoming quite the whiner!

Your spelling needs work Tater. There's no H and there are 2 N's. It's spelled WINNER.

Actually you're right. I did spell WINER incorrectly! :burp:

Or did I mean to spell weiner? :chef2:

Those Australia questions were even worse than the Disney ones.

Webz is going to blow all of us out of the water. I didn't even know one of them. I only got two right and those were lucky guesses.

phew. 9 is alright. had to think about a couple of them. the one i got wrong was a sports question from 2004 which i don't follow. thanks for the quiz tater!

What a crap-shoot.

So much for the wheel mouse...I rolled right past a question without answering it and it was one of only two questions I actually knew the answer to :frusty:

Terrible day on the quiz.............my score was ALMOST as bad as Darth Tater..........................:pound:

I did OK on the quiz but I missed one because it said I didn't answer it...but I did! That's the second time that happened. I don't see how you guys can do it so quickly either...

My very own cow!!! http://my.funtrivia.com/img/awards/32.jpg

She was a tremendous bargain at 180 FT bucks. Not only do I get free raw milk every morning, but I also don't have to cut my lawn ever again.

When I accumulate another 180 bucks I'm gonna buy another one...I'm gonna start my own herd. :)

8 / 10. Not bad since the last baseball game I watched had a slow grounder rolling through the first baseman's knees.

7 out of 10, and I shoulda done better. Only one which was hard. Good quiz with a bad score..............

I got 5 right. Not bad for someone who knows nothing about baseball.

This is trivial, but has anyone else noticed that the quiz site deducts one quiz played from each players monthly total of plays before calculating the players average score per quiz? :confused:

I need to try to get you guys into one of our fantasy leagues. You're my kind of people! :pound:

Don't worry, guys, I had noticed it too. :laugh:

Darth is right, you guys need help. And Darth should know a thing or two about needing help....

A couple of "fun facts" about our good friend Darth Tater:

- Darth Tater's initials are actually O.C.D.

- Darth Tater never tips. Instead he puts the money into a little jar entitled "Stat Tracker Fund".

- Darth Tater actually changed the date of his wedding because it conflicted with his league's live draft.

- While he didn't invent the idea of "rent a player", Darth Tater has employed the strategy so often in fantasy sports that the move has been nicked named "Tatering".

- Likewise, the expression "You've been Tatered" is used when a fantasy sports owner gets beat in a head-to-head match-up by someone who has employed the "rent-a-player" strategy.

I'm still upset that I have a higher average than him on trivia, have a higher "correct per game" score than him............but will finish behind him this month because I simply can't play every day. AND........I'm too old to win on any given day because I'm just not FAST enough..............:pound: :pound: :pound:

How does the professor and Capn both get 10 right and both in 42 seconds, yet Pofessor gets two more points??? (from yesterdays quiz).

Yeah, what he said!! That prof guy's cheating.


Though Darth may have allowed once that responding first gets you a leg up on the competition. I think that's why Darth always takes the quiz at 12:01 AM.

LOL. It's built into the system. I have no control over that. I often do take the quiz early, but that's because I'm on mountain time and often still awake and on the computer when it kicks over to the new quiz. Sometimes I've got a few minutes to go before leaving for work so I'll take it then.

I'm not good at many of these subjects as my scores would indicate, but I try to keep it mixed to give everyone a shot at doing good on some days.

If people want, I can change the board weekly, bi-monthly or monthly so we stick to a category longer. I can also make the categories blind so you don't know what category will be on the agenda for the following day.

I do have control over the shout box (I can erase all the messages) at any given time, or post a display message and get rid of the box. As far as other stuff like scoring, I have no influence.

I wonder how the heck the prof can get his quizzes done so fast. Do teachers get an advanced copy?

I can take it early too, but since I have senior moments, I like to see how the rest of the folks are scoring before I take a shot at it. Plus sometimes my thoughts are clearer in the day time. With that being said, I still have only scored a 10 once so I guess it doesn't matter what time I take it. :nerd2:

I can speculate how some might be able to do it in less than 50 seconds consistently, but I don't want to start a conspiracy here until the goverment flushes out other NBA refs:stirthepot: and that is all I have to say....for the time being...:)

Well I'm going to stop betting all that money then.

I was going to try and cheat by moving my computer's time zone, but I couldn't figure out if I should set it to Paris time or Hawaii time.

The only thing I understand about the point system is that if the top two people tie on number of correct answers and for elapsed time, the player playing first is deemed 'the winner'. I don't understand why the second person is given two fewer points instead of calling a 'tie' or to initiate a playoff round on that day's topic for just the involved parties.

This seems to be a clear case of 'time zone' discrimination. I have talked with a legal firm and they've agreed to take the case. They are currently drafting a class action lawsuit against funtrivia.com and Darth Tater on behave of all affected parties. They're working on contingency...they demand only Tater's bowl of fruit and his funtrivia bucks in return of a favorable judgment.

BTW Tater...I meant to post a story I read last week. It was called something like "10 Signs Fastasy Leagues Are A Problem"..but I can't find the link now...sorry :( ;)

I was going to try and cheat by moving my computer's time zone, but I couldn't figure out if I should set it to Paris time or Hawaii time.

Paris Hilton has her own time zone? I'm terrible at keeping up with current events...

I'm not sure that a tie goes to whomever played first. It might be that the website records the times down to some more specific level, like tenths of a second, but only displays the round number in the standings. Although I guess that might be giving it too much credit.

If anyone gets all 10 questions correct on Friday's current quiz "LITB" then either they are the best guesser in the world or they must have provided the questions in the first place:MusicBigGrin:

I'm too young to know anything about this show. As with the Spounge Bob questions, I decided to just choose any answer without even reading the question. Once again, that didn't work out so well....

i did the same thing but took 3x as long:gun1: how the heck do you guys answer so fast.

I'm too young to know anything about this show.

I'm not too young, but I hated this show even as a kid. I mean really whose family was like that family? If they looked in on that family twenty years later, everyone is in therapy twice a week. Guaranteed.

Anyway, I did horrible. Worse than Disney. Apparently even though I watch alot of tv, I'm not watching the stuff from the quiz. Darth, I would do great on a show about the Daily Show, the Colbert Report, and South Park!

I watched LITB every day after school for about 3 years. I would go to my Grandma's house, she would make me a sandwich, and I would watch two episodes in a row on TBS.

Fat lot of good that did me... I only got two questions right on the quiz.

I don't know anything about the Brady Bunch either.

Unlike Jan Brady..........Today's scores are gonna get very ugly.......:gun1:

I'm so ashamed. Only 3 questions right about the Brady Bunch.

I watched the Brady Bunch all of the time back in the day, but those questions were very tough. I should have just guessed blindly.

There is no way someone could read and answer the questions in 38 seconds...what's up with that?

It's doable if you do it like I did, which was just guessing on all of them!

It's doable if you do it like I did, which was just guessing on all of them!

I might have only got two right then. I watched a lot of Brady Bunch but unfortunately I never took notes.

I didn't even watch very much of it, but I got relatively lucky on this quiz. I was blind guessing on almost all of them.

Actually, bills, if you thought I finished that quiz fast...check out Slippy's time! Whoa!

:chopper:that's riiiiiiiiight

But I thought I was going to be an expert on the Brady Bunch...I didn't think I needed to guess. I knew Mike was an architect, Peter worked in an Ice Cream shop and all the important suff.

I haven't taken the quiz yet, but I know absolutely nothing about the Brady Bunch. Looks like I'll be going with the random fast guess approach. Let's see if I can do better than 1 correct this time...

3 in 17 seconds. I still suck.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Slippy is winning???

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
I may have faded out like Nazr's all star hopes but I still got this.

I tried this today. I'm guessing that I won't come from behind to win this one. lol.

Welcome Mo!

Prof, D4E, & dba are tough to beat! :gun1:

And then there's Darth...but he's OCD :sssh:

I tried this today. I'm guessing that I won't come from behind to win this one. lol.


Glad to have you aboard Mo. You chose a tough day to start. The category was super tough. It was a special request. We usually do those about once a week.

Anyhow, the special requester this time was Mrs. Potato head. She was totally peeved when I mashed her.:pound:

She keeps claiming two answers on the quiz are wrong!! Talk about sour grapes. Geez.

Hey, people, take the darn quiz already! Everyone needs to take it today so I can cut more into professor's lead! :stirthepot: :nerd: :Cry:

I'm just hoping to make the top ten.

My goal was to pass Darth Tater this month, but I'm happy to finish in the top ten.......:gun1: :makmiday: :shootingsoldier: :help2: :6shoot: :greenapple:

Something must have been wrong with my mouse as the game didn't recognize my clicks so I received four "no answers":mad:

What gives:confused:

I hate questions about the seven dwarfs.

Yeah but that's Darth's area of expertise so we'll probably keep getting those questions.:)

I'm upset. I finally collected enough bucks to get another cow to grow my herd, but FT won't allow me to buy another one. :yellowprison:

lol..spoken like a true graduate of the South Carolina school system...:MusicBigGrin:

I just want to be fair to everyone.

Guys like Jammer and Webz play every day and are at a disadvantage not living in this country since most categories are USA biased. I'm pretty sure they feel like we Americans feel on the UK type stuff when we take some of those "foreign" quizzes.

I'm hoping everyone has fun beating up on everyone else and laughing at ourselves when we bomb. Sometimes it's not very fair. I'll take the test some days and afterwards my wife will take it and the questions can be very different. Sometimes one of us will get a really easy quiz and get 10 correct while the other gets a quiz which is really really tough.

Remember, your family members and friends are all welcome to play.

The thing that hurts me the most is that I'm relatively slow (as you've noticed), but I've learned I hurt myself more when I rush.

I'm slower than you Darth and if you look at the average points per round I think I'm right at the bottom. I think Miss Teen South Carolina could beat me. So we need more literature questions because that's the only category I'm good at.

This Saturday and next Wednesday we've got Literature (Sunday difficult) Wednesday (easier).

I've really enjoyed the Quiz every day. I appreciate your hosting such a chance to practice thinking. I'd love to do the Hockey fantasy but I'm up to 12 hour workdays now and I just don't have the time. Thanks for the offer though.........Today was really tough.....I knew only three and guessed at the other seven..........Good luck tomorrow:)

does that mean HARDER Stephen King trivia? What was the second word in the 3rd chapter of Kings Dark Tower Trilogy book 1...the Dutch edition. You got it Bills. I'm a lit nut too.

This Saturday and next Wednesday we've got Literature (Sunday difficult) Wednesday (easier).

So the first full month of trivia is in the books. Prof and I had a nice battle going all the way through. It looked like he was going to pull it out thanks to my inferior knowledge about pets, alcoholic beverages, and bathtub fixtures, but then he faded at the end...just like the Pistons going into halftime. :sssh: :lol:

Not meant as a slight to other players, but both of you guys amaze me...both in accuracy and speed. Hat's off to both of you! I'm looking forward to another impressive battle in Sept :)

gotta hand it to d4, he stayed consistent and clutch at the end. i think some part of my brain got tired legs and i probably would have been wiser if i'd played more of the bench part of brain, you know, some of the younger neurons in some of the earlier rounds. that way my veteran, all star neurons would have been strong at the finish.

Could be poor bloodflow to the brain. But anyone who can even read and comprehend and click 10 questions in less than 40 seconds is superhuman.

The thing that hurts me the most is that I'm relatively slow (as you've noticed), but I've learned I hurt myself more when I rush.I concur...I'm slow too. The correct answer to many questions I have no clue on can often be deduced by the process of elimination. 5-10 extra seconds working one thru can mean 90-95 in additional score.

Darth, I lvoe the quiz game, so not to be a malcontent, but is there any way to get the [insert curse word] Dark Tower questions out of here?

I like the literature questions but I have no Knowledge of the English version of the Dark Tower series. I had no idea it was such an important literary work.

at the risk of emobodying the stereotype of the snobby literature professor, i have to say i really don't think the dark tower series is such an important literary work. certainly not enough to merit the proportion of literature questions devoted to it. a little variety in the literature category would certainly be nice.

So, it ain't something they teach at Kollege?

I read the entire Dark Tower series, so I have to admit I like getting those questions. That being said, when I use the Literature category, I have no control over what questions they ask.

I could choose a more specific "customized" category. Let me know what you guys want. It will also give us all the same questions.

But if we want general lit, for some reason (pardon me while I twist a Darwin quote)... the fun trivia god has an inordinate fondness for the Dark Tower series.

I like the literature questions but I have no Knowledge of the English version of the Dark Tower series. I had no idea it was such an important literary work.King's Dark Tower series is la watershed moment in American literature. Before the Dark Tower, you had series spanning 3 at the most. Some books managed 6 but were really 2 trilogies combined. King went to 7.

we need to filter out questions sent in by members...unless its an all pf.com all pistons/ nba. the spongebob one was blatantly whacked.

Well...OK. We can do the food & drink tomorrow, since i already promised detteam. After that from now on, we can just do General knowledge and fun trivia mix.

Sound good to everyone?

not categories....the questions!

member submitted questions are poorly thought out many times. Can you have a literature cat with some standard literature questions? Can we have Food cats without some obscure question on what rocks Hawaiians use to cook in their underground ovens?

yeah, second this. i love this game. and even though i only get the dark tower ones right when i guess, i don't think you have to change anything in the literature category or in any other. and, even though i bombed them, i like the gesture of including some less-US-biased categories. it's lots of fun darth, so thanks.

ah guys are a bunch of pushovers! :pound:

Why not cut the literature quizzes down to about one per month and add some math and computer quizzes. :)

Worst question of all time...

8. If a quiz is really simple, should this quiz be rated better than a difficult quiz?

Your Answer: I never rate quizzes, who cares
The correct answer was No, you shouldn't rate a quiz on the difficulty. You should rate on the overall quality of the quiz..

Your Answer: I never rate quizzes, who cares
The correct answer was No, you shouldn't rate a quiz on the difficulty. You should rate on the overall quality of the quiz..

Actually...when you get a couple of questions on pocket lint (seriously) you may change your mind as to what is the worst kind of question ever.

I didn't know what the hell that question was about. I had to read it about 5 times and I still got it wrong.

Do we all get the same quiz or are there different versions?

I didn't get that question today..if I had then I would have only got 6 right instead of 7. :sssh:

Do we all get the same quiz or are there different versions?

Today's quiz wasn't custom so theoretically we all got different ones. However, sometimes the same questions are on different quizzes and sometimes by pure chance a person will get the same quiz. I think it's a timing thing too. If you and I both took the quiz at say...2:36 pm, I think we get the same one because me and this other guy tried it once in the old days. But you can also get the same quiz at a different time.

When I see those senseless questions, where I'd need 5 minutes to philosophically analyze the thing, I just guess............

Thanks, Darth. I now understand why I'm doing so poorly. I have been getting harder questions than everyone else...

Hey DT I was the first person to take the Music and Song Quiz last night and scored 8/10 on the answers. I checked today to see how I ranked only to see that my score disappeared. So I took it again today and now it states that I took over 81000 seconds? What gives??:confused:

At 81,000 seconds........I'd be consulting my doctor about how I fall asleep at my computer.:pound::pound::pound:

Dang...I thought I was slow.

Let's not make fun of people. I'm sure Dre was just checking his answers carefully before he submitted.

Yeah but it would not take me 23 hours to check answers....:) It did give me the same quiz I took the night before and I remember the two wrong answers and I put in the correct answers. Maybe I took it too early right after the new quiz became available (1:30 AM EDT) and the system was unstable????

Well it looks like something is definitely "unstable" around here....:der:

Dre...I think the FT site has a few quirks that might be related to maintaining it's database. I don't play anymore between 1 and 6am EST.

Ok I took the quiz at 10:26PM (1:26AM EDT) against your suggestion and it did take. I went back and checked again 15 minutes later and my score is still there.

Friday features all Pistons questions

Tater, how about some general NBA categories for future quizzes? We've done Pistons-specific and sports in general, but I don't think there's been anything on the NBA in general. I think there was maybe a general basketball quiz at some point, although that's harder for people who don't follow college ball very much.

What did I win? :-( Darn, I guess nothing in life is free, especially trying to get tickets to the Suns-Pistons on Feb 24, ABC Sunday!!!

Holy cow. Click on Nemo's name on the trivia site and look at all the prizes he has won.

Nemo has spent almost all of his FunTrivia Bucks.

I have not claimed any prizes yet and have plenty of bucks to spend. :)

I've been saving up for the 900 point race car since day 1!

I'm anticipating driving it off the lot in the next few weeks!:MusicBigGrin:

Darth, now that the season is starting, are you planning on keeping this trivia contest going? I always assumed it was just something for the off-season. I'll probably bow out now anyway, though I guess if people want to keep it going there's no reason not to.

It only takes you about 40 seconds a day. Why not keep going?

I'm o.k. keeping playing. But if we want to cut back some, there could be one trivia week a month and we might get more players.

Can anyone connect to funtrivia right now? I can't

The game belongs to everyone who has played in it. It's really not up to me to end it, so I won't. People can play or not as they choose. :)

I haven't been able to connect today either..........:stirthepot:

I've tried a couple of times today and haven't been able to get on. I think it's Darth's way of ensuring he gets first place. :nerd2:

I cannot access the site either and I need to play today in order to assure my ninth place finish for October. ;)

The entire site is down. I can't remember whether I played this morning or not. Oh well...:)

Update. Fun Trivia Quizzes - World's Largest Trivia and Quiz Site! (http://www.funtrivia.com) is now up, but there is still no access to the PF.com trivia challenge.

Here's the message at the top of the FT home page:

Hmmm how convenient....

Trivia is up and running. 8 people have played today. Get your last chance in before the month ends. Only 2 hours left...........:):)

I still can't get in

What's the matter, can't multi task? :stirthepot: :MusicBigGrin:

You sure you want to talk trash to me about this game? :makmiday: :laugh:

Anyway, it's been fun, but I think I'll go out on top, Bill Russell style. :first:
