When you play a game, like say a Who's the expert game which you know nothing about and there is the list of answers it could be and one listed is All of these. Do you immediately click all of these or do you choose something else instead?
I personally, say all of these in those choices, what about you?

Totally agree, but sometimes about 15% of the time, it does let you down ;-) Reply #2. Mar 05 10, 2:11 PM |

On the other hand, if there is None of these it´s hardly ever correct. Reply #3. Mar 05 10, 2:27 PM |

I'm all in when I see 'All of these' - just an easy recognition. Beware of the occasional burn, can be just as easy a downfall. Reply #4. Mar 05 10, 2:39 PM |

"All of these" is usually the correct answer. But in quiz writing, I try and avoid "All of these" and "None of these". I think it is a bonus for an author to be creative and to avoid these generalisations. Reply #5. Mar 06 10, 12:07 PM |

I go with 'all of these', though really in that case, any of the answers would be correct. I avoid them when making quizzes. Reply #6. Mar 06 10, 12:31 PM |

I don't want to start a new thread, but I'd like to mention that questions in the type "Which was NOT one of them" aren't the best solutions either, at least in my opinion. They often kill the educational value of a quiz, because after a while (when you see the question quite often in timed games) you'll only remember that someone (some place, some event etc.) wasn't doing something, didn't belong to something etc., but you'll still lack any knwoledge what this person, place, event was famous for.

Does anyone know why whenever "all of these" is a choice virtually everyone choses it? This happens not just here on FunTrivia but on exams in school. Reply #9. Mar 07 10, 11:23 AM |

Oops. I met "chooses it" not "choses it". Reply #10. Mar 07 10, 11:23 AM |

Most of the time "all of these" or "none of these" is the right answer, which means that the other three are right too but will be marked wrong. Not our favourite questions! Krzysztof - I agree - I really don't like "which of these wasn't" questions. Apart from anything else, the answer may not be right for ever. "Which of these has never won a Nobel Prize" may change, while the "right" answer is alive. Which of these has never appeared in a Harry Potter film? or an episode of the Simpsons? The answer to that can change within weeks or months. I would be happy to see an end to these "not" questions. Reply #11. Mar 07 10, 12:47 PM |
