I usually find that my ideas flesh out into quizzes more often than not. I'm tryin' though. It takes a certain type of question to meet these criteria, but once you lock into it it's not that bad.  The only way to get it is to try.

I notice a change of values in the Question Quests. The original badge is for 55-95% correct while Question Quest Challenge II cites a range of 55-90% (Difference is in the top end figures). Is that change intended or a typo?
In checking this data, I found that the blurbs on the challenge pages say 90% for both levels. The header in the single question home page says 95%. Why isn't even topped out at 100%? If someone gets a 97% correct response to a question, isn't that a good question, worthy of consideration?

I figure if it's between 95%-100%, it's way too obvious to be posting in the first place; no need to have a giveaway answer.

The funny thing is that I can look at a question with 24% correct and one with 97% correct, and not be able to figure out why the success rates are so different. It's what makes this a real challenge!

Kyle, the challenge page blurbs say 90% in both cases, not the 95% of the Single Question submission page. I've always believed it to be and your reply seems to agree with 95% also. I only said 97% to get above talking about a response of 93% which brings up a different debate: What have the previous badges been issued for? Have Single Questions with 94% correct not been accepted?

To my knowledge it reaches the 95% and counts.

I'd have taken them all as they came on line!
Different badgelet, but that's how I've managed to get the Picture It one so quickly. I'd already played most of the ones needed to qualify, as they came online.

Any other games that are badly in need of some new milestones or mini challenges?
Well, since you asked, maybe now is a good time to request the milestone badges that I've mentioned before. Brains - 20 000 or 25 000 would be a good idea. Monster Quiz of 20 000 may be another badge for the old-timers.

Terry, when you've got a minute could you tidy up the Profile code? My badgelets are about to fall off the edge, lol.

Agree with Flopsy about a badge for the overall daily winner in the World Game (although I'm pretty sure I've never finished top overall).
Say Flopsy if you're running out of space for your badgelets I could let you rent some of my space for a peppercorn rent - lets say a one off payment of your duck, I will look after it, promise...
