WesleyCrusher Administrator Registered: Thu Sep 04 2008 Posts: 7583 Loc: Germany	Originally Posted By: Creedy One of my individual daily challenges today requires me to play a quiz by "vendome". Unfortunately when I type his name into the search box, it says no quizzes match my query. Must be a hiccup. I don't care about the point but just letting you know for future reference Go to profile, do a search from there. The homepage search does not pick up all authors. _________________________ FunTrivia Editor (Hobbies and Sci/Tech) and Administrator Guardian of the Tower

From there you can click on the Quizzes tab and select from the 30 listed there. The home page search is unreliable when looking for players. _________________________ (Editor in Humanities, Religion, Literature and For Children) That's all, folks!

samak Enthusiast Registered: Thu Dec 10 2015 Posts: 298 Loc: Ashgabat, Asia	The Buzzy Bee blurb says "Be the first player to score at least 70% in the magic quiz (HTML version)..." The last one was a Match Quiz, not the normal HTML format. The blurb should be updated to reflect the fact that a Match Quiz could be the one you're looking for (or exclude Match Quizzes from Buzzy Bee).

PHILVV Participant Registered: Sat Aug 02 2014 Posts: 33 Loc: Belgium	Division 2 for the 5th in the rankings of word wizard pts [Fastplayer] has 4327 pts. Every day he scores 15/15 in 30",27"... One question someone who scores 30" 15/15 in every game And 5th in ranking win victory pts is in division 2 and not in Division 4 or division 5?

PHILVV Participant Registered: Sat Aug 02 2014 Posts: 33 Loc: Belgium	There is the solution to avoid someone who scores 27" in every game to be in division 2 instead of division 5. The solution by the achievement badge word wizard : Tier 7 (30") division 5 Tier6(40") division 4 Tier5(50")division 3 Tier4(65")division 2 Tier3 or tier2 or tier1:division 1 I hope that funtrivia adapt these solution soon.

PHILVV Participant Registered: Sat Aug 02 2014 Posts: 33 Loc: Belgium	Word wizard your division is based on how you perform over time relative to others in this game and is intended to ensure fair Competition. After ten minutes Division 4 [someotherplayer] 38"43 Division 3 [anotherplayer] 81"37 Division 2 [Fastplayer] 29"76 Division 1 [yetanotherplayer] 136"67 No réaction yesterday, that continues today [Fastplayer] In division 2 is the best time of all divisions. The division 2 is the strongest of all the divisions with [Fastplayer]. Edited by WesleyCrusher (Tue Feb 23 2021 05:05 AM) Edit Reason: Removed player names for privacy

WesleyCrusher Administrator Registered: Thu Sep 04 2008 Posts: 7583 Loc: Germany	There isn't a problem with the division algorithm here. The player in question is playing extremely fast, but at the expense of accuracy. Over their last 30 Word Wizard games, they had 13 scores of 15/15 13 scores of 14/15 3 scores of 13/15 1 score of 12/15. This pattern leads to their average score not being among the top players at all - and the assignment in division 2 (probably near the top of it) is correct by that criterion. Also, please do NOT point out player names in such posts because that could be misread as an accusation or personal attack. If you need to name a player on an issue like this, send a PM. Thanks! (I edited out the names in your posts above) PS: If you wish to discuss this further, please send me a PM. I do not want to publicly discuss details of player strategies and algorithms.

rossian Moderator Registered: Sat Jun 10 2006 Posts: 3908 Loc: Merseyside UK	I'm just working through a quiz list which has over 50 quizzes in it, and the system isn't highlighting the quizzes played beyond the fiftieth one. Could this be fixed please. _________________________ Editor - Animals & Sci/Tech

Could this be fixed please. I had that happen recently with a quiz list called Rossian's Commission Quizzes. :-) As a workaround to see which ones you've completed, you can click the Claim this Quiz List link and it will show you which ones you have and haven't received credit for.

Looking up/searching players from the funtrivia main page does not seem to pull up players with any matches, even though it reads search quizzes, players, etc.

looney_tunes Forum Champion Registered: Tue Jan 20 2009 Posts: 5976 Loc: Briar Hill Victoria Australia	Is there a problem with the Everything Challenge scoring for 2020 is Hindsight? I just checked to see if I had made the score I need without yet having been able to play 50-50 today because it is still on Easy, and got a message saying I had already claimed it today. I haven't - so I will keep checking to see if it relents and lets me score today. _________________________ (Editor in Humanities, Religion, Literature and For Children) That's all, folks!

WesleyCrusher Administrator Registered: Thu Sep 04 2008 Posts: 7583 Loc: Germany	If your score is good enough, you can claim Everything credit or tiers even with games unplayed. If you had the 20202 prior to that check (or accidentally loaded the page twice), the message comes up. Now if that message comes up while your score is still below 20202, there's probably something wrong.

mike32768 Mainstay Registered: Thu Sep 15 2005 Posts: 989 Loc: Upstate NY, USA former LIer	I played three crosswords a few minutes ago. At the end of the first one, it said I had already played it. OK, maybe I missed it. I played two more, then on a whim went back to try #2 again and it correctly warned me I had played it already but checking #1, it still says nothing. This is the crossword that I have already played that does NOT tell me so: https://www.funtrivia.com/crossword/play.cfm?gid=7978 So I played it again and it says it gave me credit... and now indicates I've played it already. Harrumph. Edited by mike32768 (Sun Mar 07 2021 04:38 PM)

The message I have been given is: An Unexpected Error has Occurred We are unable to continue because an error has occurred. The administrators have been notified of the problem.

WesleyCrusher Administrator Registered: Thu Sep 04 2008 Posts: 7583 Loc: Germany	The site seems to working fine now - you may have hit a temporary problem such as a brief lockup of the database. Edit: Looks like duels are still a problem. I have a good suspicion as to why.

WesleyCrusher Administrator Registered: Thu Sep 04 2008 Posts: 7583 Loc: Germany	Duels are playable now. The issue was that today's topic of the day no longer existed as a category, so the system threw a fit. I changed today's special topic and the duels are now back up and ready although it seems that the Topic of the Day will not be counted as a duel at this time - please play only the other 14 games at this time so you will be able to play that category later when Terry can complete the fix. I added a PSA to the topic description. Edited by WesleyCrusher (Mon Mar 08 2021 01:45 AM) _________________________ FunTrivia Editor (Hobbies and Sci/Tech) and Administrator Guardian of the Tower

andymuenz Enthusiast Registered: Sun Sep 14 2014 Posts: 356 Loc: Pennsylvania USA	I just checked my daily challenges and the difficult one is to "Score at least 30 questions correct in today's Mind Melt - using any mode". The "at least" part seems redundant given that 30 is the maximum number correct.

looney_tunes Forum Champion Registered: Tue Jan 20 2009 Posts: 5976 Loc: Briar Hill Victoria Australia	It's always been there, as the same text is used no matter what number follows - the number varies according to the history of the player. Weaker players would see "at least 28" or similar. _________________________ (Editor in Humanities, Religion, Literature and For Children) That's all, folks!

WesleyCrusher Administrator Registered: Thu Sep 04 2008 Posts: 7583 Loc: Germany	It's for the past 6 months, so an older score can fall off. Or did you have your own (recent) score overwritten with a lesser one? That shouldn't happen...

runaway_drive Participant Registered: Tue Sep 01 2009 Posts: 45 Loc: Greater Manchester England UK	Yeah, it was a recent score (1483, March 7th) on Spelling Bee that was overwritten by a lesser one of 1482 I got yesterday. _________________________ "When I score I don't celebrate because I do my work, when a postman delivers your letters, does he celebrate?" - Mario Balotelli

When I looked at the avatars to see if I could re-select my original, the last two don't have images, one of them is the one I chose.
