Subject: Mystery Sort quiz type now available

Have at it!

The main thing to remember is that you need to be careful that one item can't easily fit into two categories at the same time such that there are two different legitimate answers.

It is a subtype of "Classification" and counts as Classification for badges.

Terry - my Classification total hasn't increased even though I've written three of these. Don't tell me it's not retrospective!

Seems to be a similar issue with Photo Match. I had a quiz go online but my Gallery count didn’t increase. I also got a Daily Challenge to play a Photo quiz and the Photo Match quiz I played wasn’t recognized.

I probably haven't added the code yet to count the subtypes.

Can you paste the URLs of where the counts aren't showing?

This is the Echelon page, aka Classify.

Fixed. Now count.

If you are over a threshold it will award next scoring cycle.

Thank you. No progress yet as I'd only just reached the tier I was on. It did mean that I could be confident the mystery sort quizzes hadn't been counted, but my total has increased now.

All I need is some more inspiration.

Terry, are photo match quizzes counting also for the Gallery badgelet (for photo quizzes)? I've had a query about this just today.

Photo + Photo Match both apply to the gallery badge (but neither applies to the upcoming ones for multiple choice and match)
Classify + Mystery Box both apply to the classify type one.

If that's not working right now, it will be made to.

I'd need to check again, but my photo match quizzes don't seem to be included in the total shown for the Gallery badge. It's showing me with 21 eligible quizzes, while my calculations put it at 24.

Bumping this up for Terry as he may not have seen my previous post.

I've noticed most Mystery Sort quizzes are sent to Brain Teasers. Could we imagine a Mystery Sort quiz in another category?

One I'm contemplating could end up in the Animals category, with four mammals, four birds, four fish and four insects.

Please do feel free to send them to their respective categories if they are relevant solely to the contents you would find in those categories (I have one in the works solely about Pokemon, for example).

Generally we will be expecting most Mystery Sorts in Brain Teasers in the same way that most Word Play quizzes go there due to their generality. But just as with those, there are exceptions. We'll help make that call if the categorization feels weird.

I put one online in Television and it worked out just fine.

Where, on setting up a new quiz, do I find the Mystery Sort template please?

Pat, when you open a new quiz template, on the page titled "Create Quiz: Details" you will find Mystery Sort listed as "Classification Quiz: Mystery Sort".
