A Challenge to complete: Medical School (More Difficult)

So you want to be a doctor? Well, first you'll need a good high school diploma, then some decent pre-med in college and finally, years of medical school to accumulate all the knowledge required to be a good physician.

But the good news is - you can get a head start right here on FunTrivia.com. We have lots of medical quizzes and some general medical knowledge will make things much easier for you when you start for real. Especially having a firm grasp on all the medical vocabulary is a skill useful both in preparation for a career and in real life. Or wouldn't you rather know what your doctor means when he solemnly declares you have asymptomatic orthopnea and that he'll have to prescribe a strong placebo for it? [ 3107 winners so far. ]

A Challenge to complete: Word Marathon (Misc)

Did you know all challenges have an internal difficulty code to place them into the list? Well, now you do. Deciding on the code for this one was easy - a badge this fiendish can't be anything else than number 666.

Here's why: You need 5,000 Word Wizard mini-game points to succeed. Even turning in 11 letters at a time for 30 points each will at best net you only about 2.7 points per letter. That means you'll need to play at least 1837 games, scoring a letter each and every time AND arrange them all into 11-letter words without ever dropping one. Playing 16 games a day, that's around 115 days. Not that bad, right?

Except, with more realistic luck and availability, you can be happy to average one point per letter and 10 games a day even if you really, really concentrate on it. That means you'll need 500 days - almost one and a half years - playing Word Wizard whenever you can. And consistently doing well. And making great words throughout.

So don't even try this unless you really mean it. [ 252 winners so far. ]

A Challenge to complete: In the Balance (Misc)

We've been doing this for some time, but for some reason we didn't yet succeed in making the world a better place. In fact, things are looking more precarious than ever.

Which can only mean - we need to try harder to bring some balance to this planet.

Let's use these songs for our 2025 attempt, hand-picked for perfect balance by ponycargirl, who was the most active contributor to the 2024 version:

THE TIMES, THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'

Come gather 'round, people, wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
And you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the times, they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times, they are a-changin'

Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times, they are a-changin'

The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times, they are a-changin'

The lyrics for this song were shortened by one verse to keep the community challenge difficulty at its desired level

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

Some hope for the future
Some wait for the call
To say that the days ahead
Will be the best of all

We will build bridges
Up to the sky
Heavenly lights surrounding
You and I

From out of the darkness
Our future will come
If we leave the past behind
We'll fly beyond the sun

We'll be together
Sharing the load
Watching in wonder as our lives unfold

Hope for the future
It's coming soon enough
How much can we achieve?
Hope for the future
It will belong to us
If we believe

Hope shines brightest in the dark
When nothing's ever seen
Lighting undiscovered places
No one's ever been

You know what to do. Head over to the relevant thread in the author lounge, claim your title and write a nicely balanced quiz (or crossword) in 2025.

Please remember this is manually awarded - it may say "instantaneous" on the box, but we need to check submissions by hand so it can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on when someone has the time. [ 56 winners so far. ]
