Waaaaaaaaaaaah -cries- Why are all the ones I really want sequence trivias? waaaah -cries some more-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Marreshaann lol my brain did the same thing guess i have to read more carefully next time lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

When I read the question for some reason or other it said NO Article

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I never understand ones like this.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

this one is tough lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't like these sequence onces at all. I don't think I'll even look. ;P maybe.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

OccamsRazor if the rules allowed that sort of variation then the answer "that place where they sells shoes and stuff" would also be correct since the person obviously knows its the sole train. It's not the answers which need to be looked at - if anything it's the questions. I'm sure it's very difficult for Debi to find questions she can use - ones which arent too easy, are clear and easy to understand (whatever your first language) and have one definitive answer. I don't know why the last question suddenly needed an article when all the others don't but there must have been a reason. What I find annoying is things like the last sequence question (by Efinesse) the letters we were given were lower case but the onsite answer was in capitals. I was looking for the sequence in lower case only.

Event!
I'm sorry, but your answer of sole train for the trivia was incorrect.

Oh well, kinda figured that. This new 1 is not gonna be fun but hopefully will luck out faster this time

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

To be honest, I would be surprised if the specification about the article was in the Trivia from the beginning. But I have said many, many times that the whole Triva mechanism needs to be re-coded to allow for multiple possible answers, e.g. The Sole Train and soul train (along with all capitalization variations) should be correct. Clearly people who put either answer knew what the question was asking.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I've looked solidly for about 2 1/2 hours. I can't find it. I really dislike the sequence ones (number or letter - I have never got one yet!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

mumbles incoherently I hate these!! Haven't all the sequences been used up already? LOL

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hmm... I have absolutely no idea with the new one xD You'd think that I'd discovered all the possible letter sequences in my search for the last letter trivia. But no.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

my method..read these comments first. Thats where I saw the bit about the article. But yeah...we should just pay attention to the trivia better. As far as the new one..no post? and ACK...scary, I hate these. I'm aweful at them

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

hmmm no new news item .... and not the time to go looking for the answer so I punted with a letter..lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

To be, or not to be that is the question...or in this case, to "the" or not to "the". Definitely a damned if you do, or a damned if you don't scenario. Pass the chocolate and ice-cream around so we can eat our misery away (crosses eyes and chortles helplessly)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I mean, yes on the article. xD;; Darn it..

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh crap...it sent before I read 'no article.' xD There goes my winning streak. I'll get it next time for sure.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i dont even no what 'no article' means lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I left out my article on purpose since it was 50/50. Eeny meeny miney moe... never spelled that before... was the method. We shall see.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So, yeah... can we be consistent about whether or not to include the article?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh, scratch that. It seems that I was only momentarily stumped. XDDDD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Agh! I have no idea what the answer is! XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, I like many of you was used to it saying "no article" and didn't bother reading that part.

However, I'm not upset at Debilee or the trivia. I learned today that it's important to look at the question very closely.

The prize is VERY awesome and I was actually surprised that the answer was so easy based on what the prize looks like on the HQ. So, I guess it wasn't really easy since they changed the format. In a way, that's a good thing. Trivia shouldn't be too easy.

I'll probably end up buying it, but next time I'll read the question more closely before answering. When you learn from your mistakes, then it's all good.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Its not really just the article included part that has people up in arms (though I do agree that's its a bit irritating to suddenly change the format around like this). Its the fact that Debi doesn't even know what answer she put into the trivia to begin with, so we don't know for sure WHAT format to put the answer in. That is why people are so upset over this.

I seriously don't recall whether I actually did put the article in the answer now or not, and there's no way to check it. So it's sort of a 50-50 shot... XD is very, VERY tired... STUPID NOISY SNOWPLOWS!

By DebiLee

Aww, stupid snowplows...and hoping that you DID put the article cause I did

So, who knows....the right ones might be wrong and the wrong ones might be right...no way of knowing till the trivia ends.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

oh noes! I didn't bother to read the whole question! That must mean Debi's a horrid person!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Had to resist the urge to slap an exclamation point on the end there x3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oopsie, I forgot the article on this one. I guess that will teach me next time to read it all, and not just expect it to say NO Article as it usually ALWAYS does, LMAO

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It was so obvious that it took me the whole tour of Subeta before it popped in my mind! eyerolls

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Event!
I'm sorry, but your answer of keith for the trivia was incorrect.

What!?
Keith is the answer to all trivias. xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

chalk me up as one who stupidly didn't add the article. headdesk......guess that is what I get for answering trivia when I first wake up...LOL!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I read over it slowly, and got it! I hope those Christmas decorations are wearable.

xP

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Haha, this teaches me a lesson...always read thru! Nobody to blame but myself!
I wish I had snowplows waking me up..that means snow!!! We don't get it, maybe 1 time every 5 years.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay the first question I knew without even searching - and this time we DO put the article. Tricky

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't get how users can be upset at the fact that this question is an exception to the rules when it states, as plainly as possible, that the answer includes an article. I many trivias, the hint to getting the correct answer is to read the question carefully. Now my comparison before wasn't entirely accurate, I acknowledge that, but to maintain that the question is unfair because of an assumption on the users part is just wrong =/ My opinion, anyway.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Forgot the article. xD
Rofl.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Your answer hustler for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an Red Nosed Joey and 250sP, lol I had just about given up then I remembered there was one place I didnt check. lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

okay, so I read your comment, Debi...you're not just being a meanie and changing the rules suddenly; there is a 50-50 shot on the article clause. That makes me feel a little better.

Should definitely reuse the prize either way as 1/2 of us will be upset either way!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay, got this one and the previous one quickly. But if the answer WILL be with the article in it, and the prize will still be reused.. that'll be kind of annoying :/ That should be done if it was a mistake on Debi's behalf, not on the users.. and it's not like it's an unbelievably hard trivia, either. Yeah, so usually it's without an article. And it's -written- that it's without an article. So you know, when it's -written-, that it's without an article. It wasn't a -rule-, so there's nothing wrong with making it be -with- an article. People acting like it was a rule to put it without article.. that's just stupid :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

the article thing is just wrong...after you've read 100s of questions that say (no article included) you just expect this one to be the same.

For me this one was a "no brainer"....except the the freaking article included clause. I hope there are enough complaints that the item is reused.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think I suggested this one ;~;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

wow this new one took me far longer then it should have! ^^; and it's a good thing i saw someone mentioning the article!! very tricky!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Event!
Your answer hustler for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an Red Nosed Joey and 250sP

YAY! i put the article on this one, so i hope its right
Why are people moaning? Its common knowledge that you must always read the whole trivia question properly before answering. You can't moan at anyone but yourself if you failed to do that.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Woah, article included. What a way to catch people out... nearly missed off the article. I'm glad I read the question through (for once) before submitting.
Think I got it, anyway.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay!

Searches for answer
I want them decorations!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Phew, found the answer finally.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

squee the prize is wearable!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't make the Trivia prizes Free Gifts anymore, because the BB people want the point credit.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

eh screw it....people seem to think this one's easy but i've scoured the site and i'm tired of looking, so i'm off to sleep XD

-huggles my red nosed joey-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by
