Hi! I am new to the forum, and still somewhat new to the "writing of quizzes". I have 7 (still a newbie compared to some of you that have a lot more ) Anyway, I have noticed that you can get a percentage on how many people got a certain question right, but I was wondering if there was perhaps a percentage of who chose what answers. For example, obviously if 50% got the question right, 50% chose the right answer. But how about of the 50% who got the question wrong, what choices did they pick? Perhaps 20% chose Choice #1, and 20% Choice 2, and 10% Choice 3. Is there any stats on that? I think it would be kind of interesting to see which of the wrong answers most people chose.

Thank you for reading!

Hi Trekker and welcome to the Forums.

In answer to your question, unfortunately the database is not able to supply info on incorrect answers.

I have a few questions with 'joke' answers, and I would love to see how many people have fallen into my trap, but alas, it will not come to pass...

Oh, well. It was worth a try. Like you, I have some answers that would be very possible answers. In fact, if I took the quiz and didn't already know the right answer, I might pick one of the "very close" answers. Thank you for taking the time to reply!
