"You may replay quizzes you have played over 30 days ago."

I don't know, that just sounds odd to me.


How about:

"You may replay quizzes you have not played within the last 30 days".

Eh, still not great, but for some reason, the wording we currently have is kind of odd sounding to me.

Various challenges have it. My "Medium" one has it today.

Quote:
Play 6 quizzes in sub-category Common Titles and score at least 6 correct in each. You may replay quizzes you have played over 30 days ago.
So far: 1 quiz. Incomplete

Score at least 5/10 in any International Hourly game. Works fine.

I'm just confirming any new challenge which seems to work without a hitch so that Terry can scratch that one off the "worry" list. Please do the same if you're the first to make it - it just adds documentation that things have been tested successfully.

Crossword puzzle challenge still works even though I'd played it before. That's good. smile

Thanks so much, Terry!


Both the other international game challenges work, even if I complete them both in the same hour. smile

Get 7/10 in 2 of the 4, and 7/10 in all 4. Both work fine.

2/10, 4/10, 2/10, 2/10. What sort of lousy score is that? My apologizes. :-S I don't score well, apparently.

Haha, I was familiar with most of the questions, and the last few in every single quiz were roughly the same. Odd, I thought... But I got the "ear nose and throat specialist" question every time, the "what makes it florentine" question a few times, and a few others that were common throughout. Made it a wee bit easier. wink

Oh yes, the ear/nose/throat one I'd seen before. Then there was the question that appeared in two of them, got it wrong first time, got it wrong second. grrrr.

As was I.

Either champion division doesn't count, there weren't enough players to count, or it didn't register scores from that early in the morning (since it was created after both of our wins).

But it ought to register from earlier. Yesterday or the day before challenges were appearing with a tick because I'd done them already. Maybe champion doesn't count? I KNEW I shouldn't have played champion! 7 players seems like quite a lot.

Just because they registered before doesn't mean they'll register this time. I think this is a brand new one he created, so it probably doesn't have a memory of previous hours. It won't register.

Besides, you and I had to win the twin challenge three or four times yesterday, having to be first in an hourly again today isn't so bad. wink

Ahem. See above.

First in an hourly isn't bad if one CAN, it's the process.

Pshaw, the twin challenge was easy peasy. wink

also BTW, although you guys are getting these "very similar" challenge types at the same time, I've added code so that in reality you'd never get these combos on the same day:

Rank in the top 5 in your division in any hourly game.
Rank #1 in your division in any hourly game

Score at least 7/10 in any two International Hourly games in the same hour.
Score at least 7/10 in all four International Hourly games in the same hour.

etc etc.

That's good, I had thought there would be a way not to get them in the same day (especially for those that want you to play the daily quiz at different difficulties).

I had thought it might be possible to get two in the same day, but I knew you had something to prevent it. wink

Mariamir, we have both been checked off now for that one. Perhaps we alerted Terry to a bug with our little conversation, or it just was new enough it hadn't ticked over yet. wink

My screen is so pretty with all green checks. I don't think I've actually been able to do that yet. wink

I just logged on and I have 6 more credits than I had yesterday, with no completions marked on my page.

I was apparently credited with two Difficult challenge completions that I didn't know about.

I just tried to beat the system by replaying something today (my Easy task) which it says won't count until tomorrow... and it's right, it didn't count it. Just checking. smile
