Chris, You usually have to wait till I play, then you don't have to worry about the last part. And you can only play once a day. Tomorrow there will be different questions.

I would like to put on record,
Today's quiz was a load of bullcrap. The questions were UNWINNABLE.
It was all questions only the person who made the funtrivia game would know-
Like what should you do after taking the quiz,What category should you pick for a group quiz etc.
I demand a Do over.

Come on......
What is the proper way to select questions for this challenge?
What do you do after you submit your quiz?(and no check your score wasn't an option)

I'm gonna have to stick with calling BS on this one.

I kicked hiney on that one...31 seconds...but I got one wrong and I'm calling foul!

Barber's poles are traditionally a white pole painted Red and Blue, not red and white!

Foul, I say, FOUL!

What?!

Where should a quiz on a television show about "the simpsons" go?

ALL four answers were reasonable!

April,

The only control I have over the questions is the topic, I only get to see the questions when I actually take part (and then only my 10). (it's funny how you love this quiz when you get 10/10, but moan when you get 1 wrong!)

The questions cannot be the same for everyone, else you could have 2 accounts, get the question with the first one, and then answer them all correctly with the second one.

I didn't say you made it that way(sorry if it sounded like that)- I just said the questions were something I have NO way whatsoever of knowing today. Not complaining too much, tomorrow is a new day.

Like I don't know why the person who made the quiz picked whatever topic they did. Made no sense.

I'm not saying the red and white didn't exist, but red and blue is a correct answer as well.

Well, I'm with April. I know we can't change it, but quizzes about making quizzes? That's just stupid.

ah, the barber pole question. One assumes that the person who wrote that question was a Brit. All barbers poles are red and white here. They are meant to symbolise the "extras" the barbers offered before the days of dentists. The barber would also pull your rotten teeth, the white symbolises the teeth, the red the blood!

Hey muzzy,

You should take all of the complaints as compliments....if we didn't like this so much, we wouldn't care about it so much! I look forward to this everyday!
