Trivia Contest

[TrailBate]

Anyone want to play a trivia game to pass the time until the trails thaw and dry? I set up a game for NEMBA members. There are new questions everyday.
Sign in and play, or don't and be an antisocial introvert!

http://www.funtrivia.com/private/main.cfm?tid=17287


This game is not sponsored or supported in any way by NEMBA. All opinions and blah blah blah.....

[narlus]

two civil war questions got me. not much of a history guy. :P

[TrailBate]

I'll change the topic every day....

[ArmOnFire]

Good idea

But it only ate up 138 seconds!

I'll go back to waiting for the trails to thaw and dry up

[felixatvtc]

Hmmm, boy i'm pretty stupid :-
Back to being something i'm good at.....an antisocial introvert! ;D

[narlus]

gentle(wo)men's honor that there is no googling involved here, right?

[TrailBate]

yep, the honor system. it's timed too, so....dunno.....notice mtbtom got the most right so far, but he took 10 minutes, so he got one of the lowest scores....

[narlus]

gridney got 9.

mtbtom must have been too busy on the rage board to answer the questions quickly.

[Ben-O]

150+ seconds!?!

Looks like some of us are asking our friend Mr. Google for help.... ;)

[nhiker]

150+ seconds!?!

Now Ben you will have to take me at my word and Gridney is Oldbroad in disguise...neither of us would cheat no googleing. We usually do really well at trivial persuit...We are just very slow thinkers !

[nhiker]

Well Usually I do well but here we are with 4 wrong.. :P

[MissJean]

5. gridney + 4 pts 8 27407 200

27407 seconds! I'm lodging a complaint! Something is very wrong there, I was on for like a minute.

The secret is out, I don't Google, I went to the library to get the answers! 8)

[mtbtom]

Actually my phone rang half way through the test and I had to answer it. Otherwise, I'm much faster at googeling.

I'm just slingin' mud to make myself look better. It's a lot easier to do than to learn some trivia! ;D

[TrailBate]

Ugh! I don't think I'll pick sports as a topic again. What do I know about cricket?!?!

[hammerhead]

I concur, not a good day!

[narlus]

where were the questions on professional quoits or curling? that one sucked.

[nhiker]

jeesus what is with the cricket and euro football questions.
That was a killa! :-\

[ArmOnFire]

That was a difficult one, worst score so far. >:(

[aveski2000]

Sports??? That was a guessing game.

[felixatvtc]

wow, i should have learn my lesson yesterday but that puts me as 2 days in the basement ;D

[MissJean]

Wow, I can't belive I got 4 right!

great, meanwhile I'm getting cricket and english football questions!
I think I'll stick to history, geography, and science from now on. Does that make me a nerd?

[nhiker]

Guessed on half of those :P! Oh well AA you the man! ;D

[TrailBate]

You guys gotta wait until at least 9am before you play so I have a chance to change the topic! ;D

[narlus]

two _Notting Hill_ questions? WTF?

i've changed my strategy and going for speed now.

[narlus]

huh, i just realized that not everyone gets the same questions.

i must be getting all the hard ones. ;)

More Science and Technology questions (please)???!!!!

[AA]

Today was history & geography.... I had 6 questions about Ohio!

I came crashing back to earth with 4 out of 10. More movie and sports trivia please.

[Sharon1958]

It's at the point I'm afraid to play - how pathetic! ::)

[ArmOnFire]

Crash and burn for me today, worst so far.

[TrailBate]

it must automatically increase the difficulty level each day,or something......I'm starting to think I should look for the topic labeled "numbers 1 through 10"

[nhiker]

4 wrong in 242 seconds ::) friggin google lied to me! :P ;)

Damn! I definitely have way to many dead brain cells from a mispent youth! If I had been able to answer this in under 100 seconds I would have been in first place

[MissJean]

Well that stank!
4 questions about Ohio too. Why would anybody know anything about Ohio??? ;)

[hammerhead]

Hey what about my 4 questions on mtn names in the Adirondacks.
- what is the nth tallest peak - derived from the algonquin name...?
I guessed the one with the 'K's' in the name - WRONG

[narlus]

ouch. when you have to take complete guesses at the 1st four questions, you know it's not going well.

damn, i used to think i was good at trivia... :(

[EVIL BOTA]

Today was brutal... I only got one right..

Well I missed a couple of days so I'm not in the running anywho!

[AA]

Cycling history, glad I read all those old books about Le Tour.

7 out of 10, not too bad

[nhiker]

Letour 2 correct :-\.....aint I proud :-[

[TrailBate]

c'mon! Don't you guys know anything about bicycles? ;D

[EVIL BOTA]

That was like taking the standardized test @ school

1c 2c 3c 4c 5c 6c etc...

gotta love multipal ?'s


50%

lol

[felixatvtc]

Holy cow he's out of the basement. 8) I've found that random picks and a fast time, rather then reading the questions yield a better score for my little pea-brain ::) ;D

[narlus]

how big game ruled the tour questions...

gotta be a bit skeptical of CP taking 4 minutes to answer 10 questions. ;)

I want a do over - had to take a phone call...tried to keep answering while I spoke and opened other apps...but too much time went by...I swear!

Not the best day with the contest, but it's 55 degrees up here in Portland and I did 18 miles on the road bike.

I thought I was good at history too, but I either got really tough questions, Or I just don't know jack.....

Always go with your first thought.

[narlus]

middle of the pack once again. got tricked by the 1st state to ratify the constitution...i knew delaware was the 1st state in the union, but i figured that CT wasn't named the constitution state for nothing, so i chose that. unwisely.

F history. bring on the math/science, or music trivia.

Thanks for the congrats, Aveski, but I think TrailBait means that you won the whole tournament. I won only the last game.

So, congrats to YOU!! :D

what the hell is a carbon-carbon double bond....?!?!

[Slider]

Should have called my self Slider, instead of Ronmac00...

" 3. If I am 5 foot 9 inches tall, how tall am I in cm?
The correct answer was 175. (report correction)"

I thought is was 2.2cm/inch, but it is 2.54. Nice to get corrected on that!

"9. In mutualism, (2 organisms of different species interacting with each other) who benefits?
The correct answer was Both species benefit. (report correction)"

Outsmarted myself here, thinking symbiosis had the "both benefit" thing covered, and mutualism was some other concept. Never hear the term before. Again, learning is good!

[jerseygirl]

Science and Technology? No way!

I could cheat and do it while I was on the phone with my brother. He was on Jeopardy but he lost to Ken Jennings like everybody else.

[Big Game]

Either there a lot of MD's out there or just people who paid attention in high school biology. So many ten's out there. I was lucky to get 7.

no, I think it's called Google.

[narlus]

yeah, a lot high scores today. i liked how i got a question about Adam and Eve in the science/tech category. ::)

i'm a bit embarrassed to admit that despite my engineering BS i got stomped (currently sitting at 12th). there was some gem stone question i had no idea about, but i should have known the alkene question.

[Big Game]

no, I think it's called Google.


I don't think so...some of those times are too quick for google. And remember how deeply suspicious i am of everyone. iNcluding myself. Especially myself.

what if a person is only using goggle once or twice though over the ten questions? story would check out.

REPENT, GOOGLERS! ;D

[Mr_Cheeze]

I learned my lesson trying the google thing in an earlier quiz on history. It just takes too much time.

Maybe I had an easy 10 questions. Others seem to have gotten different ones than me. I had about 5 questions that were computer related.

Anyhow, I'm getting a kick out of knowing that many of you are inwardly annoyed that the great and omniscient (at least this time) Mr Cheeze is currently on top. :P

So, congrats to YOU!! :D

The Hall of Fame says you are the champ. Congrats again. I bombed out the last couple of days in March. Wow, today was easy.

[MissJean]

I lucked out today. There were 4 questions concerning female anatomy, a subject that I am quite familiar with.

[Mr_Cheeze]

Confarndit quiz was too easy. Damn.

[Sharon1958]

Oh, I didn't even notice the Hall of Fame link. Thank you.

[nhiker]

LMAO pretty sad I have only watched about 1.5 episodes in my entire life! ;D

[narlus]

had a strange scoring blip today. said i got 4 of 10 right, but only showed me 5 incorrect answers. ???

[splat]

How am I suppose to know

which of the Lincoln conspirators was assigned the duty of killing Vice-President Johnson ?

[TrailBate]

Well, if you were suppose to know, it wouldn't be called "trivia" now would it? ;)

[jerseygirl]

Damn, not a good day for me. Funny, I don't remember learning any of that stuff in school. I wonder why???????

[AA]

can we get back to movies, 80's music and sports please. I honestly didnt know one of my questions, I guessed every one.

[TrailBate]

Ditto.

[ArmOnFire]

I fourth that

[Big Game]

I must be the biggest geek of all... I did pretty well with US presients and leaders ---- I really dig questions about white, fat, old and dead guys. There's just so much to love. This wasn't a question that was asked, but did you know that Taft was not only president but also Justice of the US Supreme Court? What a big fat dynamo! Also, long a fighter of bulimia, he led by example and found the time to drink two gallons of sugar water everyday! Fascinating.

[aveski2000]

Another dunce cap for me.

[felixatvtc]

Another dunce cap for me.

Ditto, i was doing so good for awhile there too

[TrailBate]

that was a tough 80's quiz. The only one I was sure about was the Iron Maiden question.....

[jerseygirl]

Duh. That was pretty bad -- but those questions were definitely out there.

[Slider]

Ahhh, the curse of being into jazz even when young. I had no clue about virtually any of those songs/bands/musicians, and would probably have done no better if I took the quiz in 1985! 3 of 10.

C'mon - ask me who the bass player on Bitches Brew was. Or who played drums on Coltranes "Favorite Things." Or...

Slider

[truckboy]

OK I just played this today for the first time and I S.U.C.K - suck. I graduate HS in 1982 and only got 5 out of 5. I guess answering incorrectly by quickly isn't a terrible strategy.

[felixatvtc]

Seeing how i was in diapers in the 80s i don't think i did so bad 5-10 ;D

[narlus]

finally a good result...took way longer than i'd imagined. would have had a perfect score but i waffled on the Berlin/Missing Persons guess...and my time woulda been better had someone not walked into my office, forciing the alt-tab delay of game.

[Mr_Cheeze]

WTF?!? The Smith's? Level 42?? Vapors??? Haircut 100???? The Communards and Sarah Jane Morris?????? Give me a f'n break with this social outcast crap.

You should rename the title, Music From The 80's that nobody has ever heard of. Cripes, this would even stump Baba Booey.

[EVIL BOTA]

We need a few more hair band questions..

[jerseygirl]

Seeing how i was in diapers in the 80s i don't think i did so bad 5-10 ;D


Seeing how I was changing diapers in the 80s I guess I didn't do so bad either.

I have to say I agree 100% with da cheese man!

[narlus]

we need a few less hair bands.

i work w/ a guy whose collection mainly consists of Kiss, Poison, Motley Crue, Ratt, Warrant, etc.

can you imagine going through life like that? it'd be like subsisting on a diet of marshmallows and cod liver oil.

80's music yesterday, NE Patriots today... just my speed :)

[Big Game]

Couldn't think of a worse topic than the Pats...well yes I could...the Jets. 1 out of 10. Worse than guessing.

[TrailBate]

The questions I was sure about, i got wrong. And the ones I guessed on, I got right. 7 out of 10! I don't know what player went to what college......

[radair]

Yeah, that one bummed me out. I thought sure I would ace it. I want more Pats questions!

[narlus]

had a bit of a tougher go than expected...damn marv cook. and i was off Ted Johnson's jersey # by one. argh.

[AA]

had a bit of a tougher go than expected...damn marv cook. and i was off Ted Johnson's jersey # by one. argh.


I had a Marv Cook question (most reception by a TE in 1991) I originally checked Cook but then when back and changed it to Ben Coates. I messed up Stevn Neal's number and some question about a former XFL player (#84?)

Looks like I may take the overall lead after today ;D

[AA]

Astronomy?


I guessed every one, so much for my lead.

[TrailBate]

I can't give you jocks the sports questions all the time. Gotta give the nerds a chance. Don't you know Mars from Uranus?

[narlus]

this was by far the most ridiculous one yet. i guessed at every single question. here's my favorite:

Sci / Tech : Tough Asteroid Quiz (Other Astronomical Bodies)

What is the name of that moon?

Minal
Athera
Dalec
Dactyl

WTF? "that moon". what does that even mean?

do we have to test you for steroids next? >:(

[AA]

Yea baby, 9 out of 10, glad I watch all those Seinfeld re-runs

[radair]

AA, you have obviously spent too much time in front of the TV! Those were HARD questions.

What kills me is about 1/2 the ones I got wrong I almost picked the right answer.

[EVIL BOTA]

I may have watched 1/2 dozen episodes of it..

5. Who left the keys in Jerry's car that caused it to get stolen?

The correct answer was Sid. (report correction)


I think this was an unfair question. In the episode when the valet smelled up Jerry's car, Jerry drove his car to a bad section of town and tossed the keys on the front seat in front of a car thief.

[ArmOnFire]

4 out of 10

I'm embarrased, I thought I knew Sienfeld well.

Nice work AA

[narlus]

i got 3 right and got zero points. ???

although i had to close the 1st attempt, as an IS guy came in to do some stuff for my machine. maybe that's why. either way, i was definitely not in the running. that was pretty hard.

[aveski2000]

I should go back to playing solitaire and freecell.

[truckboy]

6 out of 10. I think I guessed on at least 8. The only one I was sure of was the box of letters being the only thing to survive the burning of the cabin.

The difference is Jerry wanted to get his car stolen when he tossed the keys on the seat (due to the smell). Sid caused the car to be stolen because he forgot.

The only question I messed up was the Topic of Cancer vs Tropic of Capricorn

..........if Icould only recall important things

The list of recent winners is screwed up. I won for New England Trivia -- not the one they have me listed under.

I was afraid of today's topic but it worked out fine. Glad they threw that drug question in there.

[TrailBate]

The list of recent winners is screwed up. I won for New England Trivia -- not the one they have me listed under.




I think that is because I change the topic late at night. So we did New England trivia all day, then I changed it to something else at night, so it gave you credit for what the day ended as.

ok I get 8 correct in 91 seconds and get 5 points, rich gets 9 correct in 90 seconds and gets 17 points?

That bumps me out of the leaders spot.

I protest!

Second highest score from guessing (As of 4-14-05 10:18am)

[felixatvtc]

I got 8 right but only got 3 points, Felix also gets 8 right, but 5 seconds faster and gets 8 points. WTF?

Hey don't be jealous, i'm the man on math....just look at my religion score. That'll make you feel better. I didn't even bother reading half of the questions the random answer generator (my click finger on my mouse) failed me today ;D ::)

ouch. i've seen that movie a buttload of times and only got 4 right (a couple i should have gotten, but there were some pretty hard questions...asking for the specific chapter and verse when they read from book of armaments (re; holy hand grenade); how many times the prisoner clapped during the camelot song; who else co-directed the movie).

On second though, maybe that will be a good thing.

5 of 10. Not bad for a geek.

5/10, and all 5 i got wrong had to do w/ what river went through various state capitals. ???

I suppose I shoulod have known that British and Hobbit Monoply existed. Never seen 'em before though. WTF would Mount Doom be the most expensive place? I don't think I'd build my summer home there!

With that score maybe you got help from the Devil!

[Slider]

Felt a lot more comfortable on that one. I was reasonably close on the three I got wrong.

I was expecting to get at least one along the lines of "What type of the weather stranded the Hobbits on Mount Doom?" or "What do Australians call the wind that lift the skirts of sheilas?" ;D

Slider

[Quo Fan]

Jeeze, I sucked badly on that one. 4/10.

[gnurider1080]

woo 3/10. and i learned all about weather last year in ecology. well actually it was over a year ago and i never really payed attention in that class so i guess my scores about right.

[jerseygirl]

I think my son learned more about weather watching "Storm Stories" than he did in school.

8/10 for the lead! Oil drilling is directly connected to geology, I guess, but the industry terms are kinda obscure if you don't live in Texas.

Shoulda got the brown algae question.

What state is some blond bimbo from? What state invented iced tea?

I also need to read the questions more carefully. Grrr.

4/10. I should turn in my citizenship. That was unacceptable.

[gnurider1080]

4/10 and i thought i was gonna do good. although i did get this question:
This region of Manhattan is said by some, especially those at the reactionary end, to have a political orientation somewhat to the left of North Korea's. Many believe that its residents are all sandal-wearing ex-beatniks who take bean-sprouty courses at places like the New School, sit around drinking espresso, and didn't vote for Nader in 2000 because he was "too establishment". What is the name of this oft-vilified neighborhood?

[narlus]

w/o the benefit of choices, i'd guess greenwich village.

but you might be able to isolate it to Hint House (home/commune of the No-Neck Blues Band). however, i think they are in the Bronx. cheaper digs.

Ah... One Hit Wonders, a category I can proudly say I did poorly in. I think the only one hit wonder I ever truly liked was Take On Me by Aha.
