11. Correct Answer(s)
This contains the correct answer or answers to the question. There are
some rules for different question types:
Multiple Choice: A single correct answer. Make sure that it is
capitalized in the same way as your incorrect answers so that it does not
stick out immediately from the incorrect answers.
Fill in the Blank: Since users will type in the answer, you may
want to accept multiple variations of an answer. For example, the
question "Who was the President of the United States in 2002?" may have
answers "George Bush" and "Bush". FunTrivia uses the & character
to denote a separator between multiple correct answers. In the example
above we would enter "George Bush & Bush" in the field. This means that
if the user types either "George Bush" OR "Bush" they will be marked
correct.
For fill-in-the-blank answers, the correct answer must be spelled
correctly, and it can have only one correct spelling [Ex: Tom and
Jerry]. If the spelling is different in "American" and "British" English,
however, both spellings should be allowed as alternatives [Ex: Color &
Colour]. Make sure that you spell the words correctly yourself, and don't
deliberately misspell anything - it's okay if a player is marked wrong
because he or she could not spell the word. Make sure that the correct
answer cannot be used in a different way - for example, if you have 'lamp'
as a correct answer, the player could conceivably put 'a lamp' and still
be correct. Never use the fill-in-the-blank format for an answer that's a
date [Ex: November 7, 1934], since there are so many different ways to
write dates correctly. Long answers also don't work well in the
fill-in-the-blank format.
True or False / Yes or No: The only valid answers for this type is
t, f, y, or n. Enter only the letter. The system will take
care of the rest.
12. Incorrect Answers
These are possible incorrect answers for your question. You only need to
fill this in for Multiple Choice questions. Make sure that these choices
are actual incorrect answers and not statements like "don't pick this
one."
13. Hint
Hints are only for fill in the blank answers and will not appear for
multiple choice answers. In the hint box, please do not remove the
standard hint [Ex: Four Words] - if your answer is punctuated, however,
you may need to correct the word count. You can add to the standard hint,
though [Ex: Four Words. The third word is the word 'and'] or [Ex: Three
Words. Think Survivor]. Hints can also let the players know whether their
answer should include commas or apostrophes [Ex: Three words. With or
without the comma] or [Ex: Three words. With or without the
apostrophe]. This makes fill in the blank answers including words like
"don't" or "won't" much clearer. Remember, please do not remove the
standard hint.
14. Interesting Information
Quizzes that have explanations or interesting educational blurbs in the
Interesting Information field for each question are preferred. This makes
sense - if you get a question wrong it's nice to know what the correct
answer is, and why. So spend a few extra minutes writing up some
interesting info for your quizzes.
In other words, be creative! Don't spoil your quiz by leaving the field
'Interesting Information' blank for most of your questions, leaving your
quiz bland, resembling a rifle range, question-answer-question-answer and
not much more ... Quizzyland games aren't a school exam paper, with no
blurbs or explanations.
