One of my team members (Krzysztof) played the Bus Ride today (photo quiz on animals in Cuba) and scored 4/10, which wouldn't qualify.

When he replayed the quiz a few minutes later and scored 10 correct, he got the message that his score did qualify.

And indeed, the total number of qualifying quizzes on his profile is 84, whereas he conquered the "80 Days" badge exactly four days ago.

Is this due to a glitch?

Krzysztof is not complaining, of course, but he prefers honesty.

This has been noted before, and hasn't been changed.

I thought it was allowed! I've replayed a couple of times and gotten advancement. Sorry to learn at this late date that it was wrong.

By now it wouldn't matter because I have many more trips than those needed for the two badges...

I liked the quiz on Cuba a lot as a photo quiz, but I didn't think it really fit as a quiz for the bus ride. It had little or no information about Cuba itself.

I would've needed to spend a lot more time in the rest of Cuba to get more pictures to fit it. wink

Hmmm, not sure if this was intended when I originally set it or not, but it doesn't really matter that much I don't think. The Bus Ride is a very non-competitive game. It really can be played in any way you want, as it doesn't affect the experience of other players.

If I recall, Terry, it was not the original intent, but back then, you made the same decision you just made now. :P
