I guess life scout, but now I know
Anyway, who wants ten questions on the same topic? My guess is a small minority. I've been submitting gems of questions, original and interesting, but of course they are ignored like the vast majority. And instead you see a lot of basic bitch trivia so hackneyed and cliche, or just obscure in a bad way.
Sorry if I accidentally had a duplicate on a long-running series with several thousand questions. It will happen again, too. It's a free service.
Writing trivia is hard. One of the hardest parts is knowing what other people know. That was the thing that made your questions unusable. They were too hard. We MIGHT have one question of that difficulty level per quiz, but usually not. This isn't the world championships of trivia.
My "duplicate" was actually a better rewording of something I submitted a couple of minutes earlier. No confusion there.
I often get 9 or 10 in these quizzes. That is not fun. And actually I can't remember all of the questions I submitted, but logic and process of elimination could be used for some of them.
To make a harder version we'd have to charge money. If we got 1000 users to pay $1/month it might be worth it. But I don't think there is demand.
As it is, I'm spending a LOT of time on this feature and the payout is very small. It's mostly a labor of love. Spending even more time is a non-starter for us.
I agree that very few people check for duplicates before submitting. But if we banned them for a year, we'd have no submitters left except maybe Dimby. And since I apparently can't even do it correctly myself...
Might cut down on cheaters too.
I'd prefer to learn stuff, than to boast about a high score every day.
Doesn't have to be "who was the governor of Louisiana in 1924?", but general college-level questions about hard sciences, and some less-common trivia, would be refreshing. Even lower level general sciences.
I love the themed quizzes.
I don't care if the odd question repeats, for whatever reason, it's fun to know the answer stuck (if it did 😉).
I also love reading the comments and go back to the previous day to see what was written since I did the quiz, hence this comment.
I understand people being competitive but not when it turns aggressive or insulting.
I think it'd probably be easier to call out the absurd scores
Whenever I could narrow it down to a 50/50 chance, I picked the wrong one... :-(
And pursuant to above comments, I highly appreciate the tremendous effort that QM puts in to manage/administer JP and other contributors of quizzes, questions, development of new formats (e.g. Sudden Death), and responsible comments. As QM says, this isn't a 'Champioship'. If you don't like DTC themes or is it too easy, take another quiz, there are plenty that are harder. For example, my fishing knot quiz! Nobody has taken it, I think because it is to obscure, too 'niche'.
