Today another gap: question 83601, next question 83609
Anyone else having this trouble? Watched it the last days, it is always the middle part missing... I have question gaps too. Queston 83631, next question 83639. I think it happened for my previous two sets as well. And, yes, it was the middle part that was missing. Seems like it's always a gap of seven questions.

Monsterquiz Question Missing

As none of the "Contact us" options deals with the Monster I try to find help here. Since about one month a part of the monster quiz is missing. It is always the same amount of questions, the part in the middle. Today it looks like this: 84126. Thematic 10Q Average: So Funny I Forgot To Laugh The late 2000s sparked the onset of the GFC. Affecting almost every person on the planet, which most people found "so NOT funny they DIDN'T forget to laugh", what does GFC stand for? Giant Fish are Coming Global Food Crisis Global Financial Crisis Great Fence Closure More Difficult 84134. Marie Antoinette's Watch" https://www.funtrivia.com/monster/playtournament.cfmThe most questions I can get right at the moment are 8/15. Thank you very much.

You're not the only one. This has been coming up as a bug the past little bit; Terry needs to kickstart something to get the automatic feeder going for our poor monsters.  Just wanted to confirm it's being worked on.

In my personal daily game this unanswerable question appeared.
++++++++++++
1. Todd and Nancy want to paint the ceiling of the room. If a bucket of paint covers 50 square feet, how many cans do Todd and Nancy need to buy? Your Answer: 4 The correct answer was 3
Other accepted answers: three
There are 120 square feet of ceiling. If a bucket of paint covers 50 sqft, then they need 3. If they just buy 2 they still have 20 sqft unpainted.
+++++++++++++
No measurements were supplied, so not possible to answer. I think I remember reporting that one (or possibly another one from the same quiz) about a month or so ago. I used the correction button and mentioned that it didn't work as a stand-alone question in a game. I think the measurements are given earlier in the quiz.

As editors, the only tool we have is to tick a box to exclude questions like these from appearing outside the original quiz. The catch is that we only see it when re receive a correction note and, even then, it doesn't always seem to work or, at least, not immediately.

That's interesting- too bad the local election here is over. Politicans are best to catch when they are in the open.
Maybe someone from other countries could do some feeding?

The monster is back in her/his or whatever it is strength. Thank you for feeding it.

The Team Heroes game ( https://www.funtrivia.com/heroes/ ) still has a bold message in red saying "This game has been modified to fit in with the upcoming TVT system." After a year of the new system, the message seems to be obsolete now.

Would it be feasible to move all completed recipes to the bottom of the lists on the author's kitchen page? Or maybe have a sorting feature that allows just outstanding recipes to be grouped together? In particular I would find it beneficial on the "daily market" page when considering swapping ingredients. Thanks! BTD It would be great if something like that could be implemented. When one has completed many recipes, it is all too easy for the non-completed ones to become almost invisible. I know it has become a bit frustrating for me to scroll up and down my rather long list of completed recipes to remind myself of what ingredients I may need.

On the "24 hours of ..." , how soon can a quiz be retaken for tier advancement credit, 30 or 60 days? I think it's approx 60.

Perhaps make a change to the order of the Hourly games, in order to group the three Triathlon events together? (Mixed, Piece of Cake and Who's the Smartest)
