Live Quiz Today - Join Now for Fun General Knowledge Quiz!

[Hootenanny]

Today (26/07/09), I will be holding a general knowledge quiz during chat.

The quiz will start at 5:00pm BST (11:00am CST) and should last no longer than an hour. The quiz will take place in the dedicated quiz chat room. All interested members are invited to join and/or participate in the contest. Simply by joining the room, you are eligible to participate in the quiz. You may join and leave at any time.

Rules

1. The quiz is purely for fun, anyone taking it too seriously will be banned

2. The FIRST member to answer the question correctly as determined by what is displayed on the chat screen will receive 1 point. The quiz moderator will acknowledge the answer by saying "{PFmember} correct", where PFmember is the member's PF username.

3. The moderator's decision and point allocation is final.

4. Members in the chat room are asked to not carry any conversation other than answering the question, or seeking clarification during each round. There will be a break between each round where members may seek clarification on any answer that was given during the previous round. However, points will not be reallocated.

5. There will be a time limit of approximately 1 minute after the question is asked. If no correct answer is given, the answer will be revealed and the next question will be asked.

6. If a member gives multiple answers to a question, only the first answer will be taken into account.

7. Members should use white font only, with no decorations (such as bold, italics or underlining).

Categories

There will be three rounds, each with a different theme.

Round One: General Knowledge - pretty self explanatory.

Round Two: Whose line - each question will consist of a line from a film/book/TV show, one point will be awarded to the first user who correctly gives both the name of the person who said it (i.e. the character) and the name of the film/book/TV show. Partial points will not be awarded.

Round Three: Music Round - A round dedicated to everything about music

Bonus Round: At the end of the quiz there will be a bonus round. The "questions" will be posted in this thread after the final round and entries to be submitted via PM to me. The first PM I receive with all the correct answers will be declared the winner!

 

[Kurdt]

Sounds good fun Hoot.

 

[Redbelly98]

Can we use smilies in our responses :!) or is that against the rules

​

 

[turbo]

I'm almost hoping for bad weather, so I have an excuse to slack off and hang in chat.

Probably no need to hope. We have had three months of very cold wet weather, and that does not seem poised to break any time soon.

[Hootenanny]

Can we use smilies in our responses :!) or is that against the rules

​

If Borek is answering in Polish, I don't see how I can refuse

 

[Evo]

This is going to be fun.

I will post a transcript of the quizes here after completion.

 

[Jonathan Scott]

Can the "Who's line" section be renamed to "Whose line", please?

 

[berkeman]

Can the "Who's line" section be renamed to "Whose line", please?

And is --> are please?

3. The moderator's decision and point allocation is final.

See, we're already getting warmed up!

 

[Hootenanny]

Can the "Who's line" section be renamed to "Whose line", please?

As you can see, grammar has never been my strong point.

Just posting a reminder about tomorrow's quiz. Round three has now been designated as a Music round and I've added a bonus round at the end of the quiz.

See you all tomorrow!

 

[Hootenanny]

Bonus Round: PF Avatars
Below is shown five avatars of PF members. The objective is to identify the five members which these avatars belong to. The first person to send me a PM with all the correct names will be declared the winner. If no-one gets all five usernames, then the person with the highest number of correct names will win. The winner will be announced tomorrow.

Please send all entries via PM to me so as not to give away some of the answers.

Good luck!

Do you mean 02/08/09, or is that a metric date ?

 

[Hootenanny]

Sounds good, Hoot. I'm intrigued by the everything PF round!

It's meant to be more of a fun run, or at least it will be when I've written the questions ...

Do you mean 02/08/09, or is that a metric date ?

Indeed, I did - duly corrected. One of these days I'm going to make a post without a mistake in it!

 

[Hootenanny]

Just a quick reminder about tomorrow's quiz, which will take place at 11:00am CST (5:00pm BST) in the dedicated chat room.

There is a small change to the rules: The time limit will be reduced to 30 seconds in an effort to combat 'googling'.

Rules

1. The quiz is purely for fun, anyone taking it too seriously will be banned

2. The FIRST member to answer the question correctly as determined by what is displayed on the chat screen will receive 1 point. The quiz moderator will acknowledge the answer by saying "{PFmember} correct", where PFmember is the member's PF username.

3. The moderator's decision and point allocation is final.

4. Members in the chat room are asked to not carry any conversation other than answering the question, or seeking clarification during each round. There will be a break between each round where members may seek clarification on any answer that was given during the previous round. However, points will not be reallocated.

5. There will be a time limit of approximately 30 seconds after the question is asked. If no correct answer is given, the answer will be revealed and the next question will be asked.

6. If a member gives multiple answers to a question, only the first answer will be taken into account.

7. Members should use white font only, with no decorations (such as bold, italics or underlining).

[Jonathan Scott]

Just a quick reminder about tomorrow's quiz, which will take place at 11:00am CST (5:00pm BST) in the dedicated chat room.

There is a small change to the rules: The time limit will be reduced to 30 seconds in an effort to combat 'googling'.

If you're going to increase the time pressure, it might be more fair to allow each person to submit multiple answers, as there's always a balance between the pressure to answer quickly and the knowledge that you only get one shot, and this works differently for different people, distorting the results. (Also, in the last quiz I accidentally caught the enter key when going for the backspace key and entered something that wasn't even a word).

Alternatively, you could run each question in two 30-second stages, where each person gets one shot in the first stage, then if no-one has got it you send a brief message after which people can try again repeatedly in the second stage (having had time to do further research in the mean time). Getting the answer in the first stage would count for more points.

Personally, I think that being able to find things rapidly via "googling" and similar is also a valuable skill, nearly as good as knowing them in the first place. I don't think people are likely to "google" the answer quickly enough to beat anyone who knows the answer already. Obviously, there are cases where the googling process is trivial in which case the speed is mainly a measure of cut and paste skills, but as some of us know from the "Landmarks" thread, it can involve a lot of ingenuity. For many questions, the quiz already tests typing speed, so testing googling speed doesn't seem very different to me.

(I don't yet know whether I'll be able to make it for this quiz anyway; if there are traffic problems on the way to Cornwall I'll still be on the road).

 

[Hootenanny]

Thanks for your input Jonathan, you make some valid points. I would like to keep the rule that only member's first answer will be taken into account as this prevents contestants simply submitting several possible answers in the hope that they get the correct one before anyone else. However, your idea of a 'two tiered' system is interesting, I don't know how well it would work in practise, but it's definitely worth looking into.

There will be a quiz in PF chat tomorrow, August 9th, at 11AM Central, 12PM eastern. I'll leave it for our European cousins to sort out the DST offset, GMT and all that. Be there or be square. I hope people find it fun and informative. There will be trivia and interesting (to me anyway) background info to illuminate the answers. I'm going to use a cut and paste method of sticking the posts into chat, in hopes of keeping things lively and fast-moving.

Evo has graciously agreed to provide her transcription services. Thanks.

Eastern time is GMT-4:00. UK time is GMT+1:00, European time is GMT+2:00. Hence 12pm Eastern time is 6 PM European time, also known as dinner time, which is a social obligation which cannot be skipped. That's why I can't make any quiz at 12pm ET.

Sorry about the timing issues, Andre. I think you would like at least parts of the quiz. I just checked chat and the only person there is Hurkyl, who is (Away). Hope we get a good crowd.
