I think all of those who

Maybe contacting the support and saying that the hint was wrong can do something ? idk

The mistake was clearly on their end, so I think all of those who got all the other answers correct should receive the GalaCredits in this case.

 

[cheerie132]

My only wrong answer was Q7, because of wrong hint.
They shouldn't count it.

probably not gonna happen, but maybe give everyone who ONLY had nurmber 7 wrong their galacredits?

Since the prize is too small, they won't bother manually checking people who got 9 out of 10 correct answers

Let me guess, someone writing the hint confused IV with VI?

I will take the blame here. In my attempt of simplifying the hints as much as possible (and avoiding confusion with the roman numerals), my monkey brain just followed the pattern of seeing numbered movies which involved 1,2,3 until that point. I know quite well the difference between IV and VI, my childhood was filled with clocks with such display.

In my defense, I am not a trekkie, but in my accusation I am not dyslexic either. I can't say it is often I make mistakes like that, but you know, slips may happen, I take responsibility. However the hints are meant to be helpful most of the time, but I suppose I can also consider making some 0-hints quick quizzes in the future, so can't say helpful hints are meant as a rule (in the past I did make some misleading/tricky on purpose, but still fair).

I'd appreciate not bothering support on this, since it wasn't really a technical issue, it was on me this time, so feel free to throw all the tomatoes at me and get angry with me.

As you wish....

Nice try, but you are not getting any free delicious tomatoes from me!

Eggs sound appropriate too

you're forgiven, but I'm not sure how that would work out since plenty of us here are not native speakers of English and are from various countries etc. so making an "unbiased" quiz (e. g. not USA/GB centred) without hints I can't quiet imagine how that would go

Returning to the update I was telling you about a few days ago. Most of my affairs with the dead are now in order. Now my gripes are with the living. We'll return to at least 3 quizzes per week (at least that is the plan). Combining new quizzes and reduxes. I have at least 3 new ones ready from suzana and maybe 1 or more from the community, need to check. I will also take into consideration some quick basic quizzes with no hints. Most of the important improvements/fixes for the new layout are done, I'll try to persuade once more the tech team to look at the quiz and maybe enhance it.

And of course, I will try to be especially extra careful at the hints and questions/answers, everything I get from suzana or community I double check, source check, simplify, do my best to make it short, non interpretable etc. I am also dropping words lately, from full sentences to basic word relations for a faster reading. Trying to constantly improve.

One of the best disguised "By the way, I started the zombie apocalypse." confessions I've seen for a while.

That was a HUGE improvement for the better for me, the quizzes are a lot more enjoyable now for someone such as myself who can't read too fast, thanks a lot for that

I can't believe there weren't any question about the hottest member of the Star trek franchise which is Jerry Ryan

That certainly would make an interesting and probably dividing answer choices

We are in the same boat. My step-dad passed away last Monday, so I understand how difficult it takes times to overcome the sorrow with the dead and moving on

Q1 took a bit long to show the correct answer, but apart from that smooth sailing

 

[Twigalucie]

my husband (hobbes) had two visual bugs, on one and seven, but still got the reward. I only had visual bug on first one and got no reward.... We both had all right...

 

[Jer7cho]

First question , I answered 1999-2000, and it gave me negative , was it really wrong answer or visual bug again , I was split second too slow to take a screenshot

 

[TTRM]

Significant delay on Q1 (almost a full 10 seconds), resulting in the question being marked as wrong. It was only a false positive though.
The same erronous feedback occured on Q2. There too merely a false positive.
10/10
Prize received.

As I rarely am among those who receive such a false positive, and never have received 2 in a row, I'm expecting a loooot of people got hit by the same error today.

 

[FreaKill]

Long pause after Q1, other than that everything went smooth.
I see the quizmaster changed Q9 and answers for Q1 to make them easier. Though Q9 still reaped the most victims.

 

[Reiten]

Q1 took a long time to confirm aside from that smooth sailing. Good to see that Q1 and Q9 got improved, so that they aren't so ambiguous anymore
