As Mr Burns might say: "Exx-cellent" ;) Great Simpsons quiz (which I totally own btw...97%! beat that without search engines - he said, modestly ;))

I've just seen Buffy Summers' score on the first Firefly quiz - 100%...well done that woman :bow: :) I'll have a proper look at the quiz later but I'm sure I won't match that...still leading the Simpsons one though ;)

Thats so not fair....i would have only had one bleeding question wrong that damn pirate one....it should say click all applicable......because it doesnt it seems to indicate which one did bart land on.......
the only one i did get wrong was the heart attacks......

Wow, I appearently did not read the questions in the Firefly test that carefully, 'cause I made some really stupid mistakes. Anyways, that did not go well, lol, cool feature though :)

Got a shiny 100% in the Firefly quiz, but a not-so-great 62& in the Simpsons.

I love this new feature, hope people add more! Especially Angel ones! Might try making my own some day.

i got a respectable 93% in the Firefly quiz...but a dreadful 30% in the Simpsons...probably because i son't watch the Simpsons!

Anchovy

10-14-2005, 01:38 PM

Woohoo! I received a 100% on the Firefly quiz...and an ABYSMAL 58% on the Simpsons. LOL! I thought I knew the Simpsons. Oh well!

Thank you Croft.
I didn't notice that til a few minutes ago.

The Simpsons one was really just there as an example of what you could do - it's up to you guys to come up with the good Buffy questions ;)

Buffy Summers

Edmund Blackadder

10-15-2005, 07:15 PM

Buffy Summers

10-15-2005, 07:26 PM

Oh my god nine to ten hours! What was I thinking not being online all that time...

:p

Edmund Blackadder

10-15-2005, 07:30 PM

Sarcasm not withstanding are you the ONLY one who can check just a few minor questions.....
:jawdrop: I didnt realise that you single handedly did everything.....

Buffy Summers

10-15-2005, 07:33 PM

Only I can yes. A little patience is all I ask...

Edmund Blackadder

10-15-2005, 07:39 PM

Its lucky that your so nice...otherwise i'd be writing a very stern letter!!!!

Buffy Summers, if you are indeed checking all the Questions and Answers, could you maybe check the Buffy General Knowledge Quiz again, cause I'm pretty sure the Gift was indeed the 100th episode.

Faith

10-16-2005, 09:36 AM

The answer for that question was not put in the field, so whatever answer you put will be wrong. I was sure I put the answer in so thats my fault, thats it sorted now.

Croft Storm

If various members get the same score, how is the leader board determined? I presumed that the first people to get the score went higher, but I just got 75% on Buffy and went into #1.

Also, what's up with the Angel quiz?? I got like 70%, but I scored 30% because of things like:

# Question 5: What was a 'Qwa'ha Xahn'?
* You Answered: illyrias servant
* This was 0% Correct. (Actual Answer(s): Illyria's Priest, Servant.)

# Question 6: What event did the line 'And yet somehow, I just can't seem to care' allow to Happen?
* You Answered: darla and drusillas slaughter of wolfram & hart
* This was 0% Correct. (Actual Answer(s): Drusilla and Darla's Massacre of Lawyers.)

# Question 7: Who is Dr. Roland Meltzer?
* You Answered: doctor who could split himself
* This was 0% Correct. (Actual Answer(s): Severed Nerve Specialist who does Psychic Suregery in 'I fall to pieces')

#Question 14: Who said this to Whom? That's it? No, 'Wow, how'd he do that'? No screaming in terror? You 21st century types are so jaded.
* You Answered: Sahjhan to lilah
* This was 0% Correct. (Actual Answer(s): Sahjahn to Lilah)
(really anoyed about this one! I was real proud to remember it then I lose cause of a capital L!)

# Question 15: What did Angel 'Kinda wanna Slay'?
* You Answered: dragon
* This was 0% Correct. (Actual Answer(s): A Dragon)

I think people should steer clear of those Text Box questions, stick to multiple choice unless it's something really hard to get wrong.

Allycat

10-16-2005, 12:30 PM

I agree with Croft Storm. I got that too. Textbox questions don't work unless very specific like a year, number, character name (with reasonably easy spelling.)

10-16-2005, 01:29 PM

The answer for that question was not put in the field, so whatever answer you put will be wrong. I was sure I put the answer in so thats my fault, thats it sorted now.
Aww, but I still only have 75% right on that quiz although I answered the same things as the people who got 100% :( Heh...

I don't know, and since I can't look at it now (cause you aren't there anymore). I wouldn't worry about it too much - it's just for fun.

Buffy Summers

10-17-2005, 11:43 AM

on my quiz, i did all text box answer but they're only one word each, a name or thing. unfortunately, my quiz is not being submitted! i still dont know why and im still looking for some help on that please!
I already responded to your pm on that...

And everyone should make sure their answers are correct before they submit the quiz, cause I am not checking that every answer is correct...

I got an error after taking the simpsons quiz

Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_pm in /includes/class_dm.php on line 758

poop I think I did quite well too.

Edit/nevermind I fixed it.

I just took my OWN quiz and I got a 90 ... Damn, I'm lame.

Edmund Blackadder

10-17-2005, 08:06 PM

HAHAHAHA....lol

you did the new Buffy one....i would have gotten 90% but the Charlies Angel answer clicked me as wrong EVEN though its right

eponinethen

10-18-2005, 04:48 AM

Yeah but you have to answer exactly the right thing. I typed "charlie's angel" and didn't think an "a" was needed but that it was :(

10-18-2005, 01:57 PM

Yea, thats one of the questions i missed. I missed it because of that as well.

New Buffy quiz is good! Some real thinkers.

I messed up the Charlies Angel one too (should've looked her first!) and I do NOT remember Xander as a phone sex operator but I got 60% overall which isn't too bad :)

It was mentioned in 'The Yoko Factor' by Anya. She said they all looked down on Xander. And thanks. It took me just about forever to double and triple check all my question's answers. AND, I clicked the option to give you credit for just part of the answer for the Charlie's angel one ... but I guess it didn't register. Sorry, guys! *shrug*

SpikedBuffy

10-18-2005, 09:18 PM

I totally bombed on the "Slaying is tough Work" quiz (or whatever it's called). A whopping 40%. Hard to believe that I watch the show, huh?

Oh, I'm a disgrace! :) Nah, I just didn't have my 'thinking cap' on. It's on a permanent vacation!

Mr. Pointy

10-22-2005, 02:40 PM

Well - I only scored 80% on my own SF quiz. It seems that punctuation and accents in the answers must be exactly as I typed them. Next time, I'll have to use the multiple choice option for all the questions. I tried to make it hard and it seems I made it even harder because I didn't quite understand the way the questions worked - sorry all SF fans :(

Buffy Summers - is there any way of editing my quiz and re-submitting it?

Buffy Summers

10-22-2005, 08:46 PM

Um I can remove it...

Spirit_Of_Fred

10-22-2005, 10:04 PM

is there a way to get up my quiz without submitting it?

Buffy Summers

10-22-2005, 10:19 PM

You can have someone else submit it for you :)

Mr. Pointy

10-23-2005, 02:28 PM

Um I can remove it...
Please can you do that and I will re-submit. Thanks.

Mr. Pointy

10-23-2005, 03:35 PM

Version 2 of my quiz has now been submitted in multiple-choice format and will hopefully be available as soon as it is moderated. Thanks to Buffy for deleting the original. Those of you who have already tried the very hard version 1 may now have an edge, if you can remember the answers :)

Edmund Blackadder

11-03-2005, 11:22 AM

note to whoever wrote one of the new Buffy ones......Nic Brendon wasnt in CWDP...Aly Hannigan was the only one other then SMG to be in every episode......ohhhh and i'm sure Buffy was called before her 16th birthday

Tucker's Cousin

11-03-2005, 11:37 AM

Yeah, at first I was happy getting 90% on this quiz then realised the q I got wrong was the one about who else was in every ep of BtVS besides SMG. *grumble grumble*

I still only managed 93% on my own quiz, the Demonology one! *hangs head in shame*

Edmund Blackadder

11-03-2005, 11:41 AM

hey....i got 76% on my own....but then again i did have questions where if you didnt word it correctly your stumped.....but wasnt the demonology all multiple choice....lol,,,
By the way the grumble grumble in the show is for some ungodly reason really sexy for me...possibly the shy coyness and the anger behind it.......so keep doing it TC i may look past the personal sexual orientation and come for you....HAHAHA

Okay i'm loving the quizzes, i've just got one complaint, I did the once more with feeling quiz and i answered No. 5 with what I thought would be the answer. It came out wrong and this is what it said

Question 5: You can make me...
You Answered: feel, like it isn't so.
This was 0% Correct. (Actual Answer(s): but I just want to feel)

Well i've just listened to my CD and my answer is what spike sings, after You can make me.... He doesn't sing but I just want to feel.

Anyway, just thought i'd get this out of my system. If I'm wrong and these are the lyrics later on in the song then let me know, but i'm sure I'm right.

Buffy Summers

11-03-2005, 02:30 PM

I put the same thing, but if you listen SMG sings between Spike's two lines :)

Spirit_Of_Fred

11-03-2005, 09:55 PM

that other angel quiz is weird...there's only one thing you can press for each uqestion and all the answer choices are lined up next to it...

Mr. Pointy

11-04-2005, 02:46 AM

that other angel quiz is weird...there's only one thing you can press for each uqestion and all the answer choices are lined up next to it...
Yea, it looks like the compiler has formatted it incorrectly...

Buffy Summers - could you possibly take it down and let the author know, please?

When typing the answers in for a multi-choice question you need to separate them with a line break, thus...

Buffy Summers
Mr Pointy
Faith
Cordelia

and I would guess the compiler has typed something like this in the answer box...

Buffy Summers - Mr Pointy - Faith - Cordelia

I intend to post a "how to" article soon, subject to approval (and real life :)) on some of the pitfalls I encountered in the quiz feature.

Oh! Thanks, i'll have to listen to the CD again.

There's a new quiz up, Buffy All Seasons General Knowledge. I tried to make this one quite hard while sticking with a multiple choice format.
