H Answers Quiz #1

100% with near 4 minutes remaining. Easy.

That's right, tell us mere mortals how clever you are.

Not a brag and I find it odd that people would assume this. Is bragging about your performance on a 5 minute quiz with an anonymous username to a bunch of faceless people on the Internet you don't know something that would occur to you to do? It's not something that would occur to me. I was commenting on the difficulty level of the quiz as constructive critcism, and a means of showing appreciation, directed at the quiz author.

or you

It's only easy if you know the answers. To non-Americans, we don't give a damn about American football, let alone college football, i.e. teenagers playing school sports.

I thought the award for best college football player were the cheerleaders.

yclinder: glad to know we're thinning out the herd.

niels: it is constructive criticism. I'm very sorry you are not smart enough to understand this. It is showing appreciation to the quiz author. If I didn't take the quiz, I would not leave a comment. When I make quizzes myself, as I often do, I appreciate the comments people leave me. It shows me that someone took the quiz and were inspired to respond. I like getting comments about what people found challenging or easy and why. It's helpful. I have no idea who you are and COULDNT POSSIBLY CARE LESS about what you think of me. I don't recall ever seeing your name on this site before and imagine if I ever see it again I won't remember this exchange. You have to be some kind of narcissistic maladjusted psychopath to believe that people leave comments here just to brag. If this is the first thing that occurs to you when you read a comment like what I typed above, then our brains do not work the same way.

If you don't care to read my comments, PLEASE DON'T. I can give you a long list of other activities you are welcome to enjoy that don't involve reading comments on this quiz site. They include things like... playing hacky sack in the middle of a busy interstate freeway.. and.. base jumping without a parachute. If you need a comprehensive list let me know. Very happy to help in any way I can.

well, that escalated quickly (or perhaps took several years to develop).

Playing hacky sack in the middle of a busy interstate freeway, and base jumping without a parachute? Wow...

Crusher: you were already on the list, but, I'll add you again.

Agree, this was easy, except for that one I didn't know. Seems like there's always "that one".

I've never once bragged about anything on this site. Seriously I think you people are nuts. I could not possibly care less what any one of you think of me or how impressed you are with my performance on any given quiz. I regularly post to quizzes that I did poorly on sharing the fact that I did poorly. Why would I do that if I wanted to impress you? It would be pretty simple to lie.

I agree with interesting, although not for a positive definition of the word "interesting".

Ecce do you not realize how sad it is that you've been posting attacks against me every chance you get now for literally close to a year? I mean this is from last March but I am constantly noticing new ones. I don't care what you think of me honestly. But you seem to think that posting means that someone would care. And you post a lot. By your own reasoning you must care an awful lot what people here think of you. And you post almost exclusively to attack me. Not joking, for literally months, maybe over a year, every time I see any comment from you it's like 80% of the time some personal insult directed at me. And that doesn't make you look good. So... I'm just thinking about you.

and I didn't have to Google that. Sometimes people know things. I learned about projection in college 15 years ago.

I'm kind of 50/50, to be fair it does sound like constructive criticism, but it's also a bit smug.

The problem with this constructive criticism is that you're a sample size of 1, just because you found it easy doesn't mean others do (for example I thought Heisenberg was one of the easiest questions in the quiz but given only 33% got it right clearly I'm wrong on that). The stats are a far more useful tool to assess a quiz's difficulty than the experience of one user.

Kept putting in the Hermann trophy instead of the Heisman. Oh, you meant THAT kind of football...

He wasn't saying there's anything wrong with it.

It looks like QM has given into the terrorists and removed that clue from the quiz.

Which is probably why I feel like rating the quiz 4 stars instead of 3 now :p.

Horatio is one of the coolest old-fashioned names (at least that's what I think).

19/24 cant believe I missed the city destroyed by an atomic bomb. I thought it was Hokkaido or something.

Hokkaido? That would have been a VERY big bomb.

I kept trying hizbollah for the party.

Close, but that's Lebanon.

I think it's either Hezbollah or Hizbullah.

I tried Ho Chi Minh City, Haides, and Hezbollah. Could Haides be excepted, or is that incorrect? Great quiz!

Heading says single word answers. And Hades is only correct spelling. Sorry!

Thank you 'Gargoyles' for teaching me about New York geography!

Must you humans name everything? Nothing's real to you until you've named it! Given it limits! Does the sky need a name? Does the river?

Got all but the College Football Award. Presumably American Football. Not Player of the Day?

Those who missed (Lord Viscount) Horatio Nelson either need to go back and read a history textbook and learn who he is or learn how to spell Horatio.

I'm just putting my two pennies worth (or should I say two cents worth) in whilst I am here - I did not get the college football answer, however, I am not offended that it was asked. I have now learned something I did not know. That is the main reason I take these quizzes - to acquire knowledge on subjects I am not familiar with. Admittedly I highly doubt I will ever need to use my newly-acquired Heisman knowledge ever again in my life (except maybe on another quiz on this site) but you never know...

I hope they all stay up as a sad testament to this capitulation in the face of bigoted verbal terrorism. (and I hate sports and don't give a crap about the Heisman trophy)

The lack of the Heisman question is certainly the reason I got 100% on this, so in this case the late bird got the worm..

I got Hutu only thanks to studying the video Hotel Rwanda in english! :D

In principle Heisenberg’s the nearest answer, given the form of the question :)

I thought it was Heisenberg, but I couldnt be sure about it :)

Misread "religion" as "region" and I was very confused.

Even though it's only a short tidal strait, the Harlem River in NYC is the first one I thought of before getting the more obvious one. (It was the first time I'd ever seen a swing bridge.)

I remembered Heisenberg only because of Breaking Bad. Well, a correct answer is a correct answer...

I think "political party" is being a bit generous in a description of Hamas...

"What human rights organization struggled for the rights of a perceived persecuted population in the American South in the late 1800's and early 1900's?" The KKK.

Hamas and the KKK were both political organizations in addition to being terrorist groups.

Shouldn't it be 'pilgrimage' instead of 'pilgramage'?

I always think of Ho Chi Minh and I can never remember Hanoi it's so annoying

Got Heisenberg thanks to chem
