OK guys

I set up this tournament. I picked special settings so that we have all basketball questions with special emphasis on the Pistons and Shock.

However, being computer challenged, I am not sure I set it up right for basketball, so those basketball questions should start tomorrow. If not, I'll have Slippy help me out. Todays questions are general questions. I think we all will get different questions for the most part .


Hint: the quiz is timed so you get more points the faster you go.

You play every day, but can only play once a day. It keeps track of your scores and has a hall of fame too I think.

I've played these types of things before but never hosted one. Please be patient. You can join the tourney any time, but remember to play every day as it keeps track of your cumulative as well as daily scores. You get more points for each person that plays that is ahead of you.

It can be a lot of fun. But again, I gotta work out some bugs being new to this so the first couple days may be like a trial.

Here is the link. Again, basketball questions hopefully here tomorrow. I didn't want to change it today because I already played and it would throw it off.

Roscoe, hope you like it. If not feel free to kill the thread. No worries. :)


Darth's Trivia challenge - Daily Trivia Game (http://my.funtrivia.com/tournament/Darths--Trivia-challenge-73621.html)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Slippy is winning???

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I think the timer has loose electrons AND I'd like to debate the answer to question #1! :MusicBigGrin:

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Slippy is winning???

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

There Darth, I just put you out of your misery...muhahahahahahaha...

:winner_first_h4h:

It took me so long cause I had to get up and get a beer to help me think................too much of a penalty..................:) :) :) :)

There Darth, I just put you out of your misery...muhahahahahahaha...

:winner_first_h4h:

Yea! Good job!

OK, so tomorrow you can click on standings and all that. Also, it looks like I've got it set right for Pistons questions starting tomorrow. I think it kicks over at midnight or something.

I may change later in the week to general NBA questions or something if I see we are getting repeats or just to keep it mixed up.

In my first post, I meant to say you get more points the more people play. So Coyne Jeremy got 12 points as the leader, but his points will go up if more people play and fall below him.

The object of the game is

1. Don't let Slippy win.
2. Have fun.

I think you get cyber "awards" for the first three places at the end of the month and go into the hall of fame or something.

Keep on playing.:)

It might be cool to make Sunday a "random day" to mix things up a bit. Kind of like today's questions.

For you...I'll do it!

Ok, I made some other mixes too. Easy or medium difficulty. Some literature and some general knowledge. It lists whats coming up.

I think you mean stinky. And yes, you are.

OK, new questions are out. They are a basketball mix although I had it set for exclusively Pistons questions today. Not sure what happened. If this catches on, we'll work it all out.

Anyhow, I only got 3 of 10 right. :nerd2:


The top 10 players from yesterday (Sunday)are listed, but there are places to check cumulative scores or see players outside the top 10.

those new ones were pretty tough.

dre, what's with taking 900 seconds? you phoning a friend or something?

on the new quiz..........had three that i guessed between two. missed them all.............

Didn't realize there was timer on it. ..Got distracted by something on the tube before I finished it...

I guessed on the Top of the World and Virginia question and got the former right and the latter wrong.

Oh Brother. A dismal first performance for me. That's okay. I'm not good at games, but I love them. Hey I got the Cornbread one somewhere out of the basketball immersion of the last three years! Is it just straight scoring? Any partial credit for not guessing and leaving the question alone? What about the relation of time to correct answere. Is it worth it to try to google real quick and get the answer? LOL.

Oh My God, I'm strategizing to optimize my chances at a win. By God Darth you've been a bad influence over me in the past year. No question about it. LMAO.

Nice game Darth. I kinda answered the ones that I automatically knew.

The NCAA question threw me for a loop. Keep them coming DT, I like it.

There are a total of 1000 points on ten questions. Each question is worth 100 points each. Every second you take subtracts 1 point.

Example: It takes 18 seconds for you to answer question one correctly...you get a score of 86 on that question.

so if you get 8 right total on the quiz that day, it's 8 x 100 =800. But it took you 90 seconds to answer them all. so 800-90 = a score of of 710.

In other words, you gotta balance accuracy with speed.

Hope that helps.

It's usually too time consuming to search for answers (and not nearly as fun).

Sad to say I missed the Virginia question. Alas.

There's a new #1 in town, baby! Although I forgot to use my PF.com ID when I reigstered; I ended up using my e-mail ID instead. Single-game scoring record at Virginia? WTF is the Top of the World Classic? Those were pretty hard core!

Don't forget..we aren't all getting exactly the same questions as the next person. They mix them up a bit.

I'll put in some movie questions and other stuff if eveyone wants. I just thought I'd start predominently with basketball. I'm still not sure why we didn't get all Pistons questions today. Let me know what you guys want and over time I'll get it in.

I'm still trying to figure out how to best do this.

Blew that one. I only got two right! :(

Beaten by Armygirl by just a little. She also has just a few more posts on this forum than me. Surely has a few more brains than me.............

the questions aren't the same? thats not fair.

the questions aren't the same? thats not fair.

They do that to help prevent cheating. Like some of these things get pretty competitive. But eventually most questions work their way around and they are all supposedly relatively of the same difficulty.

Hey, I'm not doing so well in this.:)

I changed the color scheme of the layout so it should be a little easier on the eyes.

I also changed the settings so we all should be getting the exact same questions from now on. But let me know if more people preferred the old way (which is the default setting).

I still can't figure out why we aren't getting Pistons questions.

Don't forget to play today!

i'm just waitin' for friday...

Who is this "helitzur" person that is kicking our butts? How in the world is Slippy tied for first after two days?

Who is this "helitzur" person that is kicking our butts?

It's me. :first: I registered for that trivia site under my usual username for e-mail and for other boards instead of as D4E.

I changed the topic settings again. (Don't worry prof, Friday is still literature day). It seems like people like the switches. I'll keep experimenting. Right now everything is on easy or average. I added animals, history, and hobbies in our weekly categories and only made sports once a week.

I really appreciate your feedback. I aim to please.


:darthvader:

Its my morning ritual now. maybe thats why i suck, too early in the morning to be thinking that hard.

Darth............thank you for your efforts. Got back in the groove today, but the Disney question really threw me. Had to guess there...........

There are thousands and thousands of questions. No way he can do that. lol.

I think I figured out how to do custom categories. I put Star Wars for next Tuesday. I'll put in the Pistons AFTER Tuesday on Thursday or something. I think you can't have two customs listed at once so you have to change them.

So do you guys want the same questions or change them for everyone? The consistency is nice, but it's really easy to cheat (ask someone or register under a different name and play twice).

Also, there is a bias toward Americans, so I'll be putting in questions that are exclusively Canadian and Australian here & there.

i have good intuition. I have no idea what the questions are but i seem to bat 1000 a lot. :gun1:

Uh hunh. The force was with you, eh? :deathstar1:

I have to admit I had five guesses today and hit all five, I should have bought a lottery ticket instead.:yo:

Darth, it is too early in the morning for the Zit, Zat questions.

That was a guess and I got it right, unbelievable.

Today's challenge was a toughy and I guessed on five and they were the wrong guesses. maybe I should have waited and did it today instead of the middle of the night. I have to admire those who got all 10 right.

Doh!! I only guessed on one, and I got it wrong!!! :pound:

Missed yesterday for business travel, but aced today.

What happened to the basketball trivia? (not that I was doing that well on the topic :D)

I really fear literature on Friday :fear:

Did we all get the same history questions? If we did... AG, did you know that Andersonville question? That's the only one I missed. My Grandfather, the Civil War nerd would be disapointed.

Sounds like maybe you guys got harder ones.

I'm just going to keep my mouth shot. Moving to the country in 1992 I missed US history, the sitcoms, Disney, ABA, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I have no clue about. The only nursery rhymes I know are the ones I heard from Dice. :pound:

Today's topic was History-easier. There are 255 questions possible, so they would need to play the game at least 26 times to see each one at least once.

I think we just have some smart cookies in here. :lecturer:

Tomorrows topic, literature has over 3,000 questions.

There is a way to cheat the system. I knew somebody in the past who did it. He explained it to me, but I didn't fully understand what he was saying. I really didn't have much respect for him "beating the system".

I really don't think we need to worry about that in here. If you look at the "Tater Tag" game, everyone has shown integrity and not looked up answers. :)

As a side note, MSU raised it's tuition today by 9.6% and Oakland U raised theirs by 13.9% ....both due to cutbacks in state funding in what is one of Michigan's darkoest economic times...historically.

Dang when I went to EMU, my tuition costs were about $250 a semester and about $1100 for the room/board so no more than $1600 a year not including books...and we actually learned something back then for much less cost.

Feel free to have your spouse & kids play the game. The more the merrier.


Plus, if we can get some third graders playing I might be able to move up in the standings.:stupid:

I'm not sure getting only questions about Steven King is appropriate for the literature section. Nice man and all, but still...

What is the Dark Tower anyway?

I only got one question on the Dark tower series. It's actually seven books long and I read the entire series. I think it took him around 30 years to complete it. I read it over the course of about 13 years. Three were written when I first started it.

It's kind of horror/fantasy/western all mixed into one.

I seem to get questions in runs. Yesterday I got four questions about the Cuban missile crisis, one asking for the name of the country where the missiles were, and one asking what showed up in Cuba to cause a crisis - right after the first.

Maybe time to move up from the easy level?

I think it all depends on the category. I know some people blew out the history questions while others (like me) really struggled. I did well in literature while others found it challenging.

If you guys want, I can move to all "medium/average" difficulty questions in all of the categories.

Don't forget next week I'll put in some categories for Canada and/or Australia. Most of us will struggle on those, but it will help the people who hurt by most of the questions in the other categories which have an American bias.I'm trying to level the playing field to keep it interesting and competitive for everyone.

I appreciate the feedback!!!! Please keep it coming. :)

Missed the Dark Tower question. Got lucky with a (semi) educated guess on the Canadian literature question.

Hmm, Stephen King...not my area of expertise!

Missed the Ka too

I actually did better on the World Series of Pop Culture that airs on VH1. I think it comes on tonight for those curious enough to see if they have the skills to challenge.

Good way to help us pass the time here this summer.

Wow, I bombed that one totally. As you can see, I didn't read much of the hamlet/shakespeare literature.

I went from first to last at the blink of an eye.

I love this trivia stuff and look forward to taking it every day. Keep them coming Darth.

'History' teaches us valuable lessons. After saving Tater from total humiliation yesterday (not an easy job :D), I somehow sprained my right index finger last night poking myself in the forehead...alass, I am unable to compete in the literature trivia today to save yet another soul...sorry AG ;)

Thankfully, my veterinarian told me my finger should be better tomorrow.

I only got three right. I admit, I know almost nothing about Canada; however, 3 of my questions were about characters that Keanu Reeves played in movies. I didn't even know that guy was Canadian. If they woulda asked me questions about Bob and Doug McKenzie and the Great White North, I may have been able to get six right.

American-related? I got a question on the fennel. Never even heard the word in my life:
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a species (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species) in the genus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus) Foeniculum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foeniculum) (treated as the sole species in the genus by most botanists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botanist)), native to the Mediterranean region (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_region) and southwestern Asia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia), from Morocco (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morocco) and Portugal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portugal) east to Pakistan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan), and north to southern France (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France) and Bulgaria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgaria). It is a member of the family (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_%28biology%29) Apiaceae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apiaceae), formerly the Umbelliferae.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennel#_note-flora)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennel#_note-grin)
It is a highly aromatic perennial (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perennial_plant) herb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb), erect, glaucous green, and grows to 2.5 m tall, with hollow stems. The leaves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf) grow up to 40 cm long; they are finely dissected, with the ultimate segments filiform, about 0.5 mm wide. The flowers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower) are produced in terminal compound umbels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbel) 5–15 cm wide, each umbel section with 20–50 tiny yellow flowers on short pedicels. The fruit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit) is a dry seed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed) from 4–10 mm long, half as wide or less, and grooved.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennel#_note-blamey)
Fennel is used as a food plant by the larvae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larva) of some Lepidoptera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepidoptera) species including the Mouse Moth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_Moth) and the Anise Swallowtail (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anise_Swallowtail).

Well, at least you knocked out Slippy. We would have never heard the end of it if he had won.:stirthepot:

Darth,
These trivia games make no sense. This is not a test of knowledge. This is more of test about who red or watched what.

I don't write the questions. They are written by people just like ourselves.

I've asked you guys for feedback all along. Let me know what categories you like and don't like. I'm always happy to make adjustments, but I don't know unless you tell me specifically what you want.

It's supposed to be for fun.

I don't think it's supposed to be any real or accurate measure of a person's intelligence. Heck, Slippy and Linwood even do well now & then.:pound:

There are movie questions coming up too. I'm pretty sure I'll do poorly on those. If people like, I can stick to mixed trivia and subjects like literature and Geography and avoid the Star Wars junk. I was just trying to add flavor so on any gven day any given person can win.

In the end, in all likelihood, the jack of all trades will come out on top. Just have fun. :)

Can you move the Movie questions to Tomorrow? That might be my best category, but I am flying to Detroit in the afternoon and not taking my laptop with me to review on Thursday. I can pick up the Pistonforum on my Blackberry, but I don't think I can get to the trivia website and answer the questions with out it taking me 1000 seconds:)

Name the snake that was the pet of Cleopatra............good grief !!!!!!!!!A WAY late punchline...was the answer 'Slippy'? :pound: Sorry...I'm slooooow...my elapsed times prove it. :D

For the record, I turned off my targeting computer and used 'the force' on 4 guesses today...STRIKING 3 targets, but missing the love question. :(

Recalling the following Star Wars spoof helped me deduce the answer to a fifth question:

the TRUTH about Darth Tater (http://www.storewars.org/flash/index.html)

I'm at work right now Dre and I have no access to the Trivia site (it's blocked).

However, I should be home with an hour to spare (unless there are problems at work) before it changes over to the new day.

If I can make it on time, I'll make the change for sure.:)

All right, I suck at Star Wars. These are not the droids you're looking for indeed.

But, I did really badly faster than anyone else.

I sucked at Star Wars trivia. Now... had they asked me questions like:

What color was C3PO?

I may have had a chance.

All depends on what literature you're talking about.
:sssh:

I think you've done a nice job of mixing the questions around DT. No complaints here.

Out of curiosity, how many different categories are there to choose from?

Yeah man, I hear you.

OK, maybe next week, and in future weeks, I'll do 3 or 4 days of mixed/general with varying levels of difficulty, and throw in 3 rotating special ones which change every week. I think folks will just have to live with it.:)

That way, Star Wars, literature, etc. is back in every now & then.

Keep the feedback coming. We'll get it right.

There are certain set categories, like mixed, General, Animals, literature, Geography, etc.

Then there are special ones I have to set up like Star Wars, Pistons, NBA, Stamp collecting, Cats, etc. Just about anything can be found here. I'm guessing there re hundreds, or more likely thousands.

Somehow, I think we all got the same questions today on Star Wars. I thought I had it set to mix them up. I'll check it in a few minutes when it resets for today.

All movie questions tonight. Some are easy (if you watched the movie, obviously).

Oh, ok. "What they call "cheat prevention" doesn't work in custom categories. So cats like Star Wars and Pistons, etc. will give us all the same questions.

Anyhow, the new day started. Todays cat is movies.

I don't believe it! 4 were total guesses. I hate movies and don't watch them unless it's sci fi or my wife drags me.

How in the world did I get 10 right??? :pound::pound::pound:

No 3peat :(

I probably should have got them all right but second guessed myself on a couple.

Yeah baby, I knew I coud ace the Movie category, thanks DT... :whoo:

Oh...you quit rubbing it in! :mad:

New questions are up. They were pretty easy.

Rats, could have had ten, but I must have missed the little circle and didn't answer one question.

Just realized....I have this little button that says "Pg Dn"....It helps me to speed through the questions.............

I lose a lot of time navagating the quiz page with my laptop touchpad. I've tried the pg down button, but it often overshoots a question leaving me with the answers but not the question, forcing me to touchpad scroll back up the page...very frustrating. :yellowprison:

I should get a scroll mouse.

Friday's questions are up now.:)

Oak Island Treasure? WTF is that? At least I managed to guess right. :laugh:

I got a question on an old execution I'd never heard of and guessed it right :whoo:

I wish I had understood what the Baton Rouge question meant the first time I read it, I could have gotten that easily and been in 2nd place!

I wish I was born in the US so I would've read all those books, watched all those citcoms, played all those games...

I've been taking the quiz in the morning before I go to work, which is usually around 5:30 to 5:45 am out here. Today, I took the quiz at 10:00. Maybe being awake helps.

Or, probably, I just got lucky with some easy questions!

Yo Darth - we both got ten right in 86 seconds, but you got twelve points and I only got eleven. Are you betting on this?

I saw that. It's a stupid quirk in the system. I guess the person who plays first gets more points in the case of a tie. It particulary stinks when there is a "tie" for first place that day.

Hey Darth, I see you have two extra days on me in the cumulative column. You should sit out till Tuesday and make this a real competition!

I have set my goal. I am going for the Books and Worm Package. Short-term, that is.

Long term...it's gotta be the Personal Aircraft Carrier. A true luxury item.

The Insane Horse of Doom is a real value at only 333 points. That'd be pretty hard to pass up. How many people can say they own an Insane Horse of Doom?

Crap! I cheated by accident. I played under my 12 year olds name ("Lucky") by mistake (because she never logged out) and got them all right in 94 seconds. So I just played again, cussing, every question was different and I still got them all right with a better score. Sorry. She's mad she didn't get to play but liked the score. LOL.

Dumb Darth.

sorry to rain on your parade linwood... :gun1:

I guessed ok, but my string of ten correct is now gone. Music isn't my thing. :yellowprison:

I'm NEVER going to get a freaking perfect score!!!

I would have had about 5 perfect scores by now if I'd trusted my first instinct. Each of those times - including this music one - I had 9 correct. The one that I got wrong was one that I went and changed after the fact when I had the right answer the first time!

I guess I don't know anything about Kelly Clarkston or Ashlee Simpson.

I guess I don't know anything about Kelly Clarkston or Ashlee Simpson.

Me neither...glad I didn't get any questions on them!

I did get a couple of questions on Christian songs for kids (huh?), but they weren't too tough to guess right.

Thank goodness I got Beatles and Sonny and Cher, though I had no clue who the host of Pimp My Ride is. At least thanks to Tayshaun's primer last year I did know that pimp is also now a verb. PistonsForum is expanding my horizons every day.

I love literature. And geography.

And evidently have a thorough knowledge of Mormanism. Who knew?

man, could those sports questions be anymore general?? you go from world soccer to american college football to nascar. whoever has knowledge of all of those sports would have to be one die-hard sports fan.

lol. i see the topic, i don't bother to read the question

These sports questions remind me of an old Monty Python skit - some quiz show with Kierkegaard, Marx, and someone else and all they asked was who won the cup in 1962.

I live in dread of tomorrow. That's a cartoon, right?

Yeah. My kids requested it.

Hey, tomorrow we will all get the same questions since it is a special category and I can't set the "cheat" controls so we need to be :sssh: on the answers until everyone's taken it.

Also, I'm about out of new default categories so we'll be getting the same topics (but different questions) again.

However, if there are special requests, I can do them (favorite television show or movie, favorite sport, Disney, celebs, foods, etc.

You guys are funny. I know what you don't like, but I don't know what you do like...and no, I'm not going to assume that everything you do like is whatever is not on the already existing list of things you don't like. :dizzy2:

Personally, I hate Geography and movies but I put them in there thinking some people would like those a lot.

Other people do monthly or weekly categories. Would people prefer that? Or should I ask, would you not like that? :MusicBigGrin:

I'd like to get as many people participating as possible. It's something to do, at least during the off season. I know some people are having fun beating me:darthvader::deathstar1:, but I think your efforts would be much better spent trying to knock off guys like D4E:lecturer: with the most overall points, Prof:lecturer: with the highest point ave., and a couple others (DBA, Coyne, and Nemo) who are generally kicking our tails consistently. I like Trivia, but my talent lies in managing fantasy sports teams.

Next month we begin fresh. The standings start all over although I believe the top ten go into the Hall of Fame, and D4E will get credit (a cyber trophy?) for winning it all.

So hopefully new people will play starting August 1st.

I think I've seen a trend that more people play when I use sports cats. Let me know if we want to go that way.

More literature Darth. The sports questions I got were on NASCAR and cricket.

I like the mix of stuff - a couple of days with more general knowledge kind of stuff, but maybe a couple with obscure stuff too - you know, the 10th grade math word problem quiz. The more variety, in terms of subjects and difficulties, the better in my book.

Maybe SpongeBob can take down DE4.

DBA and Bills...done (next Monday through Wednesday). I'll keep those every week, unless people complain. Thanks for the input. Anyone else?

Sorry, but we gotta do Sponge Bob tomorrow. Promised the kids. They are tired of coming in last (although they regularly beat Sliperooney):MusicBigGrin:
I'm afraid next week they may ask for "Hannah Montana" or "Corey in The House" ...Uggh or "High School Musical".

Those of you with young kids and the Disney channel must surely feel my pain.:pound:

yeah anything on Movies, TV , singers, awards etc are good...but I don't know a thing about Spongebob, Simpsons, family guy or any current animation, but I might be good on the oldschool toons like Flinstones, Jetsons, clutch cargo, bobbalooey, Olive oil, underdog and quickdraw, etc:gun1:

yeah... i probably shouldn't have bothered with spongebob...

All I can say is... could have been worse. Since I've never seen an episode.

Darth, I almost got the same number right as you, despite not actually knowing any of the answers! :pound:

But it looks like none of us can mess with Tater's daughter in this category.

I know absolutely 0 about Sponge Bob. I decided to go with speed alone and hope for the best, since I'd be guessing at each question even if I did read it. Unfortunately, I still only got 2 right. hahaha

Oh man, at least half of the questions were where guys went to school, and they were all retired players, which is even worse for me.

The only guy I know is Ben Wallace because of Mason's intro "From Virginia Union University..."

I think I only got a couple of questions on where players went to college, so maybe we weren't all getting the same questions. I think the only ones like that I got were on Tripucka and Dumars...well, maybe Mahorn as well.
