REPTRIVIA Challenges -

Kc · Apr 18th, 2013, 04:51 PM

This thread is being created to challenge the questions and responses from Reptrivia Challenges. There's been a few that people have questioned the legitimacy of a quiz.

SO, if you have a problem with a question or quiz you can challenge it and discus it here.
IF YOU HAVE NOT TAKEN THE QUIZ. please do not look at potential answers as that will defeat the purpose.

Rules

You cannot challenge a quiz after it's closed.
You must post the Quiz name and question, OR summary of question that you believe is incorrect.
IF it's deemed that the quiz question is in fact invalid, the person who gave the quiz will get a 5 point rep loss and the person challenging will receive 5.
Who is right will be determined by an Admin or Moderator, or myself. It's easy to post a quote and timecode from the show, so I'm sure it'll be easy to determine whether a challenge is correct.
IF the question is deemed "too vague" by an admin, then the quiz can be thrown at with no rep loss.
If challenge is deemed INCORRECT, and the quiz was in fact correct, the challenger will lose 5 rep points.

I challenge this quiz:

"1. Who was the first of the regular We're Alive cast to be in the Tower after Z-Day occurs?"
Technically after Zday would be none of those listed. It'd be Lizzy. It's not "after" z-day.

The other questions I got 2 wrong because I wasn't paying attention.

This challenge is NOT to repeal the quiz, only to open the door to future processes. No further action required.

I guess that falls under the vagueness piece because I said "after Z-day occurs". I intended it to mean the incident of Zehs first turning in the show and not after the completed day that the Zehs first turned in the show.

To make up for the poor choice of language, I'll REP anyone that scored 60%, missed that question, and feels it was too vague. Just let me know.

Sorry for the confusion.

And thanks Kc for putting this process in place.

Heh...

The thing is, Kc actually got that question right. But he does have a point about it being potentially misleading and/or vague.

And it works well as an example of a quiz/question challenge.

I was almost expecting grumpy kitty.

I think it's good that we can challenge quizzes, not that I've needed to up to this point. It's a good way to keep us on our toes. Though I'm sure Lit's quizzes will still be super tricky regardless (your quizzes keep me on my toes, especially when I tank on half of them).

We kinda did need a challenge system in place. This wasn't the first one I was like, wait...
