Topic: - FT Sprint: Wesley's Clue Thread -

Posted by: WesleyCrusher

Subject: - FT Sprint: Wesley's Clue Thread -
Date: Apr 11 12

Hello to all sprinters,

this thread will be used for the "W" clue set for the FunTrivia sprint. Each of the clues will be posted at some time during the release date (as early as possible) and then a post will be made in the game's main thread to inform you about the new clue.

IMPORTANT: Once each new clue has been posted, clicking on this thread WILL start your timer for the round. Thus, once the game starts, do not come here until you are ready to start writing for the week! (If in doubt, check the main thread first to see if the clue has already been released.)

POSTING RULES: Since this is the best, "safe" place to do so, you can ask any questions you may have about the clues here; thus, the thread will not be closed. However, please make sure you only post questions pertaining to the currently active clue - any discussions on past clues or general aspects of writing for the Sprint that do not spoil the clue for those who have not seen it yet should go in the game's main thread. Please do not send clue clarification questions by PM - any clarification request should be made in the open and the answer will benefit all players.

And now - have fun with the Sprint!



Please feel free to leave feedback for the site administrators. We will take all feedback into account as we tweak and add new features.
The old reply to thread function was removed because it got to the point where people weren't even reading the announcements and assuming, by default, that they were somehow being wronged or forgotten or insulted or abused or cheated out of something in some manner.

D'oh, back of the class for me! I am always critical when my students don't read my exam questions carefully enough, and now I've done the same thing with Kyle's task 9... :-( At least I did mark off another category (Animals).

So, for my penance, I'll take Wes' Task 9 and will submit it in Science and Technology

http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/History/Run-from-Tyrants-and-Dictators-350901.html - playmate1111 got lucky here. It did wind up in History after all, but since no one else claimed it yet, it's still valid.

Mike, and you a university lecturer - tsk. That's the sort of thing I do.

Bad luck though :(

Your science quizzes are fascinating anyhow, so I look forward to seeing it.

Lol, Creedy! Guilty as charged. I now feel the pressure to make this Science quiz a good one.... As always, I'm taking too long with the I.I. and am only about half way through.... Hopefully I'll submit it tomorrow and will then await my sanctioned late penalty :-)

At least the Tour de France is now on late at night here (starts about 10.30-11 pm) to keep me company - the rest of the family are way too sensible to stay up.

OK - done, well at least until I hear back from the Editors :-) "Run to the Lab! World Changing Experiments" has been submitted to Science and Technology.

Hopefully I've got a few hours to recover before the next task lands....

Mike: Good news, bad news and good news again:

Good: http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/People/Run-to-the-Lab-World-Changing-Experiments-350960.html is online.
Bad: It is in People / Scientists and Inventors
Good again: Since People hasn't been done by anyone else (the claim for People turned out a History quiz), you've still got a valid quiz.

Thanks Wes! VERY Relieved!

Another excellent one.

Poor Mike. Every time he writes a science quiz, I bombard him with questions. It's like having a free tutorial session.

Last time he explained all about how and why hydrogen atoms create helium atoms in the sun - and the resulting explosions etc. I'm now terrified out of my wits of course, but at least I know.

My dad used to collect water samples for a company and he told me about all the tiny widgets that can be seen under a microscope swimming around. I now stick with drinking gin,lol!

Creedy

I don't know what's worse, Plodd. I met my waterloo with gin one Christmas Eve. Never again. Never, ever, ever again. My mother was so cross with me. I couldn't get out the car because I couldn't figure out where the ground was.

Task 10 – Well Worded

As your tenth task, your quiz must be a Word Play quiz. It may however not be a part of the Brain Teasers category but must rather be in one category-specific subcategory. You thus have nine options: Entertainment, For Children, Geography, Literature, Movies, Music, Sports, Television or Video Games, each in the appropriate Word Play subcategory.

Everything else, including the title, are up to you. However should that title be an author challenge as well, you'll get another of those nice 30 minute bonuses.

Ready? Go!
