Ahh, the sweet taste of redemption, back to 10/10 at last 😁🎉

Another good batch of questions here, I'll be particularly interested to see how many get caught out by the triangle question at the end!

Level 66

Aug 24, 2024

I was getting ready to complain that Q10 didn't have enough information before I read the answers!

Level 89

Aug 24, 2024

Yeah I hesitated on that one because I've seen a few variants on that type of question and I needed to triple-check I wasn't missing anything haha

Level 81

Aug 24, 2024

I got caught by it. Was elated at a 9/10 so far and went too fast going for score, completely missed the absence of the word "right" :(

Level 65

Aug 29, 2024

Well, I got that one right, but the nearsightedness and mountain questions tripped me up...

7/10. One of the questions was my own!

Level 87

Aug 24, 2024

Did you get it right?

Level 49

Aug 24, 2024

Of course. All the questions I submit are answers I know.

Level 83

Aug 24, 2024

Well, I got them all. I’m second guessing so much though that my time is awful! I knew the gimmick in the triangle one, and still lost 50 points because I re-read the question twice to make sure there wasn’t a sneaky right angle hiding somewhere! Even on Castro, I just had to read the other options and confirm my answer so I lost 20 points there. Slow and steady sure improves my average score, though. 🤷🏻

Can someone explain the last one to me on why it's not 5? Is it because we don't necessarily know if its a right angle triangle?

Level 49

Aug 24, 2024

You can form a triangle out of any three lengths as long as the sum of any two of the sides is not smaller than or equal to the last side. So the side length can be anywhere between 1 and 7.

Level 73

Aug 24, 2024

Actually, it can be any length between 0 and 7 (not including 0 and 7, of course)

Level 68

Aug 24, 2024

What about Pythagoras? 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2?

Level 68

Aug 24, 2024

maybe this was? they didn't say

Edit: they did say. I just did not read the post-game explanation

Level 83

Aug 24, 2024

No, KingBardlin. It’s not 0 to 7, it’s 1 to 7. The third side has to be at least the difference between the other two,

Level 46

Aug 24, 2024

True, but it can't include 1 or 7 else you get a line and not a triangle.

Level 64

Aug 26, 2024

Yes

Level 36

Aug 24, 2024

argh. only 5/10 today

Level 73

Aug 24, 2024

God damn right angle! If it wasn't for it, I would have 10/10!

Level 89

Aug 24, 2024

Same!

Level 15

Sep 1, 2024

oops... i put in that question... lol

Level 52

9/10 my best score yet!!!

Level 83

Aug 24, 2024

9/10

I confused senate and congress. Sad

Level 49

Aug 24, 2024

Congress as a whole is 535 voting members, what you are thinking of the is the House of Representatives, which has 435 voting members. Congress is the Senate and the House of Representatives.

So Wyoming and California get equal representation in the senate then? Sounds well democratic mate…

Still better than the UK for now, until you all decide to revert to an actual monarchy.

Level 73

Aug 24, 2024

8/10, that triangle one got me!

Level 83

Aug 24, 2024

I always thought I was fairly good at these until random people started friending me and I compared there stats with mine and while I average 7,4 they average like 8,9-9,2

That's madness!

I need to up my Trivia game

Level 83

Aug 24, 2024

Note that some people cheat. I’ve only had to unfriend one person because of obvious cheating (went from 7000 average to getting 9935 every single day), so I’d be pretty suspect of random people regularly cracking out 9900s daily.

No idea about the Lord of the Rings XD
