[ENDED] [Quizz] My Bitcointalk Quizz #2

[sheenshane]

Oh no, it seems the 50 spots have been filled already.  I'm so excited to join but unfortunately, I'm late for this quiz and it might be fun.

It says,
"Uh-oh! This game has already reached the maximum number of players. Ask the host to increase the limit!"

I saw this and I thought I'm a 50th player.


Is there quiz #3?

[Halab]

just curious, is hilariousetc and hilariousandco the same person?

Yes, it's the same person, but like many I never know which account is GM and which is not

What was the problem exactly? I have taken part of multiple real-time kahoot quizes and the competition is funnnn.

Were they online quizzes or IRL quizzes ?
Because when I tried the live online quizz, the participants didn't see the questions, they just had the coloured boxes to answer. So it was difficult to do a quizz with these conditions.

There were 48 spots filled and when I entered my name I was 49th but still it gave me an error saying all the spots are filled.

Yes, I deleted 2 cheaters (if someone can explain the point to me... anyway), so we have reached the maximum quota.
It was quick, but the quizz is now over.

If possible @Halab could you please increase the spots ?

Sorry, but I have already paid (by mistake) the most expensive subscription.


Here is the ranking :





And here are some data for the different questions, and some explanations :


It was not an easy question to begin with, there was only the avatar to help. But the 4 proposals were supposed to help you a little.
The reason I asked this question was that after many months I realised that my brain was reading Andersen and not Andresen. Given the results, I'm not the only one

Again, it wasn't very easy. Either you know or you don't (or you are lucky). But with 71% correct answers, you were good.
I erased where it said "I'm Roger Ver", but "bitcoin.com" could have helped.

50% correct answers, not bad. Congratulations to those who did not fall into the Cyrus/Sirus/Sirius trap.
Proof of the answer :

Satoshi created the forum on Nov 22, 2009, and was head administrator until almost 2011. Then Sirius was head administrator until 2012, which is when I took over.

I am disappointed no one answered Miley Cyrus. Since Cyrus changed his nickname to Smiley_Cyrus on an April 1st, I imagine him naked on a wrecking ball .


It was a very difficult question. I was referring to this old post :

I have finalized my course schedule for fall, and I will be taking French. Hopefully I'll like it (or it won't be too bad, at least). Thanks a lot to everyone who replied!

But I still don't know if Theymos really learnt French or if he skipped the courses


I was referring to this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5092492.0
The 4th answer was a bit trollish .


I was referring to this answer :

I intend to ignore all stupidity coming out of the EUSSR.

Ok, I agree, that was a very difficult question. Only 23% correct answers.
Here is the answer:

There was only one "patient zero", Sanitough, who I chose by looking at the latest posts at an arbitrary point in time and picking the most recent one which mentioned "virus". It was basically random, and definitely not meant as any statement about Sanitough.

Only 48% correct answers, I expected a little more. During the 20 seconds, you could open any last message and see the number of that message that was over 56 000 000
Ex : //bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5321430.msg56487546#msg56487546


77% correct answers. Well done, the BEAM/GRIN trap didn't work


Thanks to CM for changing the pay rate, it allowed me to find another question for this quizz
I am disappointed that no participant in CM's campaign answered D


It was not an easy question. Everything was based on the pseudo/custom title/Personal text :
Cyrus :Custom Title: Ninja
LeGaulois : Personal text : Bitcoin Ninja Unregulated Banker Unbanking Folks
TryNinja
julerz12 : is a samourai baby


There was a trap with hilariousetc/hilariousandco and also with Mr. Big/Rickbig (his former nickname), but most did not fall into the trap. 
(To my GM/Mods colleagues : sorry about the photo, I am also nerdy and weak )


I thought it would be an easy question (if you have seen this topic).


Not very easy, but for those who follow the Meta section a bit, MindlessElectron is mentioned regularly.
Note that 6 people think that LoyceV is a bot. They may be right, but I can't prove it    


With a little time, you could have looked at this page : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topsendat

71% correct answers, I expected much less, I was not vicious enough
allahabadialt was the 2 millionth user.


OK, I'll be honest, this question and this picture are (a little) the reasons for the existence of this 2nd quizz. I wanted to ask this question in the first quizz, but I didn't have the photo. Then I searched for hours and hours, without success. That's why I opened this topic (and LoyceV found the picture in 5 minutes, maybe it's the proof that he's really a bot... or that I'm not good).

Thank you to all the participants and to those who played the game.

I know Jamyr made a video of his performance, you can post it now, if you want, for those who didn't have a spot to participate.

[UserU]

You actually paid for us to take the quiz?

Well, I have to say thanks alot although I believe there are perhaps free alternatives out there.

And about Theymos question, I thought he was gonna learn Japanese?

Theymos learned Japanese but has still not proficient used that language.
Years ago, he opened a topic, asked for ideas that which languages he should choose to learn. Finally, he chose Japanese.
Which (natural) language should I learn?

This was on the previous quiz .... Halab made a random payment, and judging by the amount it was an annual subscription. If my memory serves me, yesterday I saw names like OgNasty and Lauda on the leaderboard, but now these names are gone, so I will assume that Halab deleted them manually. BTW, I think CT used cheat sheets, "there are some questions related to events so ancient that even Theimos would probably incorrectly answer one or two questions"

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Enjoyed that, even though I didn’t rank all that highly. Still really fun though, you should do another one if you ever get the motivation to.

Kahoot is a quiz maker program if it serves me right. I actually paid one from my friend in the past like it's a birthday present for an annual subscription.

Lol I think my standing wasn't that bad considering I'm just block away from loyce. I'm surely preparing on the next quiz and though demanding hope it will not be far away @Halab?

I see. I checked the pricing models and they're pretty reasonable. So my guess is that Halab went for the 20 dollars package since the max was 50 participants.

Standing-wise, that's good enough compared to the rest of us seniors wallowing at the bottom of the leaderboard.

Joke's on you, I did terrible

[Findingnemo]

Wah,, my name is there. Only 40 people participated in the quizz or its just a leader board?

Since this is the fun quizz why we need to cheat, just check the knowledge by yourself without cheating, if we wanted everyone can answer everything right by using random name first time and actual name second time.

[TheBeardedBaby]

Damn, I couldn't enter in the Top 10. Next time I'll be more prepared and won't go for the first "correct" answer I see, but read them all. I knew almost all the answers except for the one who was the patient 0 and Gavin. If I had the time to read all the answers one by one I could actually score a bit better and enter the top 10, but I guess I'll wait til the next time.. It was a great quiz, Thanks HALAB!

BTW There's less then a month to 1st of April, so be prepared

according to this post, 50 people participated but maybe the other 8 was disqualified for breaking the rules.

It says,
"Uh-oh! This game has already reached the maximum number of players. Ask the host to increase the limit!"

I saw this and I thought I'm a 50th player.


Is there quiz #3?

some people want fame, recognition and it doesn't no matter tot hem how to get it. I remember someone got a perfect score and disqualified on the first Halab made for cheating.

I just didn't put those who had given up during the game. There may be "cheaters" among those, but you don't need to do a big investigation for that .
They took a spot from someone who would have liked to join the quizz, but it's just a quizz, it's not going to change anyone's life .

I will like to add few suggestions, I cheated, I knew Bitcointalk in 2020, how can I pass like that, not possible. I got a friend among those that participated in the quiz and knew all the answers from him while he has answered, and I think this should not be an offence, and fun to see my username removed.

Assuming, if you want 25 questions to be answered, you can have like 50 questions in total in which only 25 will only be distributed randomly for users to answer among the 50 questions.

Also, you can change the position of the answers. Assuming if A is the answer to question 1 for user N, B can be the answer for user W while C the answer for user Z. Which means the same question, the same answer but different positions.

Also, you can randomly also mix the questions by changing the question positions, the number 1 question for user A can be the number 10 question for user B and number 15 question for user C.

With this, it will be very difficult to cheat. Please, remove my username, I am not the first because I cheated.
