Question : when anwsers were given by several members at the same time, shouldn't they all get one point ? Or do we know for certain that the answer appearing first was in fact given by the member that pressed SEND first ?

I remember one instance I was watching and where 2 posts came in one right after the other and the stamp only goes by one minute increments, so even though they may all be stamped the same minute, they actually did come in at slightly different times. The first person wins, if only by a fraction of a second.

That was one George Jones and I answered simultaneously but he probably got in less than 0.1 sec before mine.

It happened all the time, when answers were separated by less than a second. I guess it might help a wee bit to have a decent high-speed line. Q 13 probably had a half dozen responses, all within a 2 or 3 second window.

  • #11
Just noticed Astro's answer to Question # 12 is missing. He did answer by the way. I was there. :biggrin:
 
  • #12
I noticed it seemed a couple posts were missing. Good job though. Did you add the emphasis on questions and answers or did Zapper use a chat tool? That would certainly make a chore of the whole thing.
 
  • #13
On #12, I had highlighted to bold it and it deleted instead. Bu the results were still there.

Not sure what happened at the end, that was a single copy and paste.

Hey, if someone wants to copy and paste all of the text next time, they are more than welcome to. :approve:

Actually, if I had been playing instead of copying , I would have won several questions. Oklahahoma is a favorite of mine and I can sing every song from memory. My mother had the album. I can also sing every song from South Pacific by heart.

I know that I would have won 1 question. It was the Star Wars one that no one else got. I knew the answers to others, but I fear my typing skills would have been my downfall:grumpy:

I have an option to "download" the entire flash chat, but due to problems with getting booted, I had the forsight (I am sooo brilliant) to start copying the text every few entries. It's a good thing I did because I did get booted midway and when you re-enter chat, you lose all text prior to when you re-enter.

So, all of the text was copied into a text format and all code is lost. All of the formatting you see is thanks to Kurdt.

I wonder if Greg has an easier way?

Maybe some sort of bot? I wonder if a bot can get booted.

Actually, I almost lost it a few times while running the trivia contest. The one that I couldn't stop laughing (or hysterically giggling) was for this question:

[ZapperZ] 11:57 am: 47. In Babe, what was the name of the duck that stole the rooster's job and crows every morning to wake up the farm?
[Kurdt] 11:57 am: duck in babe
[marlon] 11:57 am: ferdinand
[ZapperZ] 11:57 am: marlon: correct
[cristo] 11:57 am: ferdinand
[cristo] 11:57 am: methinks kurdt was googling!

Kurdt was obviously googling, but answered "duck in babe" because he typed in the wrong window. When I read that, I lost it and couldn't stop laughing. It was very difficult at that point to continue with the contest... but I managed. If I were any older, I would have had an accident there and then.

I could be missing something, but there is a Save button in the chat interface... doesn't it save full log? Partial for sure, and for sure it saves more than is visible in the chat window.

Or rather it doesn't save, but lists chat in the other window, but the effect is the same.

And speaking of simultaneous answers - with 1000ms pings I can forget about even trying :frown:

Is googling allowed in this contest?

Oogling isn't allowed, but googling is. Still, if you know the answer, that will beat someone googling for it. And with the 1-minute time limit, you don't have a lot of time.

Looks like he was not the only one to type not where he wanted to.

[Gokul43201] 11:06 am: damn, I typed into the google search bar

:rofl:

I did feel bad about googling some answers. In fact there was a couple of questions I didn't answer when I could have got them since I googled them.

I got at least one answer by googling, but googling also cost me an answer.

I knew the answer to 31. was Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles, and I even could hear the song in my head.

Just I was bout to start typing, I said to myself "That can't be the answer." so I googled and forgot to type in the name of the group.

Great job, Zz, Janus, Evo, and Kurdt,

Congrats, Kurdt.

Yea, I was like that too. I had to google for the artist though- I'm way too young to know that :biggrin:

There won't be one this Sunday, or at least, I am not preparing for it.

As for it being biweekly, while that is still possible, it won't be for next week since I'm going out of town to attend a conference and won't be participating in the Sunday chats. So unless someone else want to run the contest...

Zz.
 
  • #35
Oh yes, a BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR Zz!

Zz, that was so much fun!

Perhaps Gokul would like to do a quiz? The person giving the quiz can be a member, we just need moderators present.

I think a half hour time limit for a quiz so that everyone has a chance of being present for the whole thing. We forgot about people timing out.
