Perhaps we ran out of cake and are having to resort to pie. ;) Reply #1. Jan 20 15, 11:43 AM |

Part of the easiness is the repetition of questions. As new questions get added to the question pool, there are fewer repeats. Reply #2. Jan 20 15, 1:30 PM |

I also think the range has gone done. As in, I believe it's now 80% - 99% correct, and it use to be something like 90% - 99%. (Percentages are not necessarily accurate.) I also noticed that For Children and Religion are two categories that used to be on the list of categories chosen for Piece of Cake. Now, that is not true. For me, both categories had questions that were quite easy to answer. (I think this started when Question Quest questions were added to the mix.) Reply #3. Jan 20 15, 4:51 PM |

"For Children" has been off the list since at least September 2014. Reply #4. Jan 20 15, 6:46 PM |

What I am noticing in all timed quizzes, and especially in Heroes, is allllll the reading required to get through the question in order to click that answer. And yes, the question pools are much deeper now, so not many repeats, even in POC. But, you know, this is also sort of the good news. The site is growing by leaps and bounds, to include a lot of new questions. Reply #5. Jan 26 15, 12:58 AM |

How did this pass for a trivia question? And get enough correct answers and good ratings to be qualified for the easy game? Question 10: How many points did Kobe Bryant score against the Raptors in one game? Reply #6. Jan 26 15, 10:14 PM |

Yes Anton, 81 is the answer. But HOW does it even qualify for a trivia question? Reply #8. Jan 26 15, 11:56 PM |

I think that question is right up there with "Which of the following is the birthdate of Kobe Bryant?" It may be trivia, but it's not Easy Trivia. All those birthday questions drive me nuts, right up there with "What is Kobe Bryant's astrological sign?" I'm sure only Kobe cares, and even that's questionable. I know I don't. Reply #10.

The 'World' category had 7/10 questions all about the USA. This isn't an anomalous figure either. I understand it is a US website but surely we can get some better variety in this category? Reply #11. Mar 04 15, 12:47 PM |

He's only the most famous basketball player in the world, next to Lebron James. Reply #13. Mar 04 15, 2:44 PM |

I think Fun Trivia Dual should be against anyone who is taking the same topic right there and then at the time. Too much waiting around to get a result otherwise. Reply #17. Dec 25 15, 7:29 AM |

I have just completed a hourly game titled GEOGRAPHY and got this question 10. Michael Flatley and Jean Butler,(among others), starred in an extravaganza of Irish music and dance. Can you name the show? What has this question got to do with Geography? Reply #19. Jul 20 16, 1:36 AM |

Yes, pmarney, I have found similar questions in wrong categories a few times lately. One wonders just what is going on. Reply #20. Jul 20 16, 2:13 AM |
