Which girls' name, from a Greek work meaning 'foreigner', am I thinking of?

Here's the problem -- the man's name is spelled wrong - it's Ramsay MacDonald 'cause when you look him up on wikipedia, that's how his name is spelled. I don't know if someone can correct that. Here's the wikipedia link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsay_MacDonald

Thank you for looking into this and Season's Greetings and Happy New Year!



Here's the link to the quiz that question came from. You could have submitted a correction notice from the answer page in the Daily Game or you can play the full quiz now and submit it from there. The editors require a correction notice before any changes can be made.

Yes, please send corrections through the corrections link - in almost all circumstances there's one attached to the question somehow. That flags the question for the editors and makes it very easy for us to find and fix.

I second this idea. I have almost 1000 quiz lists claimed and it would be much easier if I had a way to filter so I only see the unclaimed lists rather than have to go through the pages with the ones I've already done.

Regarding writing Fifty-Fifty quizzes...

When you write a "normal" 4-option multiple choice quiz and click on "see how my quiz will look", the answer options are there to see, but the two possible answer options are not there when viewing a 50/50 quiz.

Is it possible to address this, please?

I am unable to access the Author Central or Edit Quizzes and Crosses pages. I get a message saying an error has occurred. I was able to access the pages a few hours ago.

Terry, is it possible to list the winners of each Fantasy KO tournament on the Scoreboard page? It currently shows the Leader Picks but one still has to flip through each tournament to see the winners. Thank you.

The Daily game has a feature which lists the cumulative points for the month.
Here... https://www.funtrivia.com/daily/cumulative.cfm

When the month ended, the full cumulative points could be accessed by clicking "Last Month" on that page. However, since the new Daily badge had been offered, the link reverts to those who won the badge the previous month and shows a tally of daily points rather than cumulative points.

Could you please reinstate the "All" link for cumulative points. Thanks very much.

While I'm here, you mentioned a while ago that you'd be adding back the link to show recent scores for Timed Mixed Games which are offered for each quiz category. Could you please add that back? Thanks Terry.

I second this suggestion!

Why? Well, this is a website that attracts people interested in knowing Stuff, More Stuff, and Even More Stuff. There is no end to the amount of Stuff we want to know, lists we like to read, or statistics we like to compare around here.

A very minor issue... just one that annoys me but doesn't seem to affect game functionality.

In "The Daily Game", when the answers appear, one random answer contains the word "no." (minus the quotation marks) in the border above it. It only seems to happen once and varies from day to day as to which question.

It is a bit of quirkiness I've noticed, as well. It doesn't annoy me, but it does make me wonder, 'why?'

Just noticed that there's a challenge, namely "There is no 'i' in Team", that still makes reference to the retired Team vs. Team game. This should probably be updated because it can cause confusion for new members and not give a favorable impression of the website.

https://www.funtrivia.com/chalinfo.cfm


Additionally, what happened to formatting in Forums? Has it been turned off? I cannot add hypertext or use bold, italics, etc. I had to edit this post to remove the formatting so that it would be readable.

One of my challenges today is to play three quiz of the hour, however Quiz of the Hour has disappeared from the home page and when I click quiz of the hour on the challenge page it takes me to a page with no quiz on it to play.

Sorry, just noticed this on the quiz of the hour page.

There is no quiz of the hour at this time. Please check back later.

No help with my daily challenge though.

My easy challenge today is

Play 5 categories of the Global Challenge during a set today.

With the next GC not starting till Monday it makes it very difficult to complete this challenge.

Obviously someone is making my challenges today more difficult than they should be.

Regarding the "Biggest Fan" challenge:

When checking the list of quizzes to see how many more are required for the total of 150, at the top of the list is this comment -

"For the purposes of this challenge you are allowed to re-play a quiz that you played some time ago and which normally has a green check mark on it, and the new play will appear here."

I have noticed that this is not the case, the new play does not register.

Is this because it may have been less than 24 hours since the last play? If so, could we have a reminder in the text, please? Or could the list be set up in the same way as other quiz lists (i.e. with a clickable replay link that won't allow play until a set time period has passed)?

Or is it a genuine glitch?

Some time ago is definitely ambiguous. I suspect the time is something like the 30 days that applies for daily challenges.

Or maybe the 90 days for getting credit for a replaying a quiz.

I think it's neither 30 nor 90 but rather 60 days. However only Terry can definitely confirm that.

If it's 60 days, that could make it awkward for this challenge, as it has a 60-day window.

But you have to play whatever number of different quizzes in that window. Being able to replay some you had played earlier is a different issue.
