Not really. The text would be "you may retake" not "you have to retake". The latter would imply that while the former wouldn't. "You may retake" means that you have the option to retake.

Kaddarsgirl only posted the last half of the challenge req. as well. The first part asks you to play so-and-so many quizzes in a particular section or with a specific guideline. Adding the word 'take' again would be redundant.

OOO Thanks Terry (I shall carefully refrain from pointing in the direction of any of my own quizzes that would now benefit, oh yes I shall...:D )

I was saving my credits for the '10 a day', however, I foolishly clicked on the 'spend 9 credits for a new challenge', just to see how it worked.

Curiosity sure got the better of me, it gave me a new challenge immediately! C'est la vie, I shan't be doing that again lol

But that's the only way to get an Epic, so heads you win, tails you win. It all works out in the end.

I wasn't interested in getting an Epic at the moment I clicked, as it was nearly bedtime. I got a 'complete a new quiz within 20 minutes of it going on line', alas no new quizzes since I clicked and am now late to bed

It has been a learning curve...next time I click, it'll be very early in my day, so I can devote more time to the challenge. I just didn't expect a new challenge immediately, I thought there may have been an explanation of the credits there, a bit like the 'challenge swap', where it gives you the option to use the ability after you have clicked.

I had the Twin challenge today and we managed to get the same score and have the green check. Does that mean I can't play anymore today?

If you have the check, you can play whatever you want-- you've won the challenge.

No. I'm pretty sure it just means you don't need to worry about that challenge anymore. Sort of like if you have a challenge that says "Be #1 in any hourly game in your division" it does not mean once you are #1, you can't play any more hourly games in future hours.

EDIT: Kyle beat me to it.

Thank you. I was feeling FunTrivia withdrawal symptoms!

Just want to say that I'm thoroughly enjoying the new challenges, some of which really stretch me in areas I'm not so comfortable, but so far it's all good:)

Terry and Wes (+?)thanks so much for all of the work this has entailed and for your speedy help in sorting out the bugs ~ much appreciated.

Thanks Terry and all the others involved for the successful introduction of yet another wonderful feature of Funtrivia. The idea is brilliant and will keep everyone entertained for a long time.

The number of posts reflects the interest members have in this new feature. It must have been a busy week for you and the team.

I really enjoy playing the Daily Challenge and it's my first port of call when I log on to see what I need to do that day.

Great work!

I read in the FAQ that "Completing an epic challenge will not exclude it from later selections". That will certainly make it progressively more difficult to obtain the Totally Epic badge as you accumulate flags. If getting an epic with a buy has fairly low odds alone, getting the last one you need out of 8 in addition would seem to be quite a long shot. Am I missing something?

Not really. Some badges are difficult to obtain.

Re
"You may take quizzes you have not played within the past 30 days"

It means (surely?) "You may ONLY take quizzes you have not played within the past 30 days"

A suitable text change would be: "Quizzes you have played within the past 30 days do not count!"


Unless the "not" is a typo?

Does it mean "You may re-take quizzes as long as you have not played them within the last 30 days?"




I made that assumption too and got caught on my first purchase. All I can say is that it only took one click to learn to be careful with my credits, lol!




Seconded! with bells on.

Not a bug but a question, if I may:

Of the various challenges that are mini-scavenger hunts (specifically, where a list of quizzes is provided in the challenge question), are the quizzes included randomised as well

BTW, I got the 3 Ps one today and was quite taken by it. Very creative!

I received this as a Medium Challenge:
Play our Quick Quiz and bank at least 16 correct questions.
None yet. Incomplete



I banked over 40 correct questions. Could someone please check into it?
Thanks

Emma,

are you sure you have actually banked (converted to points) those questions? You need to do that before it will count and it's quite easy to miss that final click.

Sorry if this is a repeated question, but I don't see my earlier query here.
I have definitely completed the required Daily quizzes to total 7. I even did them all twice and three times to make sure, and I have not received my mini-challenge badge for completing 7 daily quizzes.
What am I missing here?
Your help is appreciated.

yak

Thank you; you were correct, I forget to hit the convert to points button.
Again, thanks for all you do. It is appreciated.

Terry, can a line be added to that challenge saying "Make sure you convert your questions to points for credit." ?

This is not the first time someone has been confused about banking the questions.

yak, you must complete seven daily challenges, not daily quizzes.

You have only two complete challenges, both from today.

You are correct. That added line would be helpful. You see I banked them, and thought that once I hit the 16 without converting them that I would receive that daily challenge.
Since I can play more than 16, I was led to believe that there would be no need to hit the convert to points button until I had reached the 75 number.

Emma, you can't bank questions without converting them to points.
This was my initial assumption, so I decided to play Quick Quiz to figure it out, and that does appear to be how it works.

Perhaps part of the problem is the wording in the game itself, not the new challenge. To "do banking" (as in transactions) is not quite the same thing as "banking SOMEthing". Banking/storing money or commodities implies that you are "saving them up for another day". But "converting" the correct q's to points is really like spending or making a withdrawal from your questions "account" : ) It's a little misleading (on the first attempt anyway lol - and I do remember some very minor issues with it when the QQuiz game was brand new).
___________________________

After you answer your very first question in Quick Quiz, this message appears at the bottom:
You may bank your correct answers for points when you answer at least 3 correctly (1 so far).

Perhaps replace "for points" to "by converting them to points"?
___________________________________

The wording shows up again in the blurb on the page when you END the game and has two sentences that speak about "banking". One is:
Regular players get a pool of 100 questions every day, and may bank 20 correct answers per day (max 200 points).

It (may or may not lol) be helpful if the second part was changed to read:
"and may bank 20 correct answers per day by converting them to points (max 200 points)"

............
Anyhoo, congrats to all the "Flag Bearers" so far!

What is written is accurate...

You may take quizzes you have not played within the past 30 days.

So, if you have NOT taken quiz X within the past 30 days, then you MAY take it now. That is consistent with the intended meaning.

I agree that it could be worded better though, and will alter it.

Quick quiz challenges clarified for those not familiar with quick quiz.

LOLOLOL I use to sit around all day and dream one day of having a brain I could call my very own.
Thank you Wesley for pointing out my "oversight".

Yak

Got a quick question and I apologize if it has been asked before. Once you complete a challenge, it is possible for it to appear again later? Can you get the sme challenge more than once if you are successful in completing it?

Yes, I know of players who have had the same challenge after completing it once. Also, I think it's been mentioned there are around 70 different challenges, so naturally repeats would be required to win the badge for completing 200 of each difficulty.
