Oh well, it being hard is what makes a good trivia.. Hopefully lots of people will get it right and I can just buy the tube top. I gotta go to bed.. sheesh. Good luck everyone!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This one is just too darn hard... I swear, I'm about to give up, just out of sheer frustration. I hate the sequence trivias.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I have a HUUGEE urge to give out hints.
But I can't. D<

Damn you Cain, damn you! shake fist

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It wasn't that hard for me to think of it. I was just bored.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yeah, it is hard Cainlust. And I was really hoping to get that tube top. bleh

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So it was galactic gems? I put pink - I knew it was wrong - I thought they might have been a list of wizard token colours. That also left purple and I think the "white" is actually silver but I thought if its so easy I just must be stupid.

Poor dog...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I was thinking the colors on a spectrum pet ... so ... purple.

Ah well. Let's see what this one bit of terror will be

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm done debating/arguing, because quite frankly it's getting to be like trying to debate with my dog....except she actually listens.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Only 130 people anwered?

I was hoping for it not to be that hard.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ah, but Forsworn, what happens when both answers fit the question equally well, hmmm? Just take a wild guess as to which one Saint Debi is thinking of?

First off, if you think you could do a better job, then by all means, you should apply for the position.

Secondly, yes, you take your best guess. If you're wrong, life goes on. Better luck next time!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I haven't read all the comments yet, just half, but I am so tired of the one complainer who keeps saying 'her answer is just as right' 'there are two right answers' - NO there are not - Yes, it was easy if you thought about what current events were - Coda caves, free gifts regarding Coda Caves - I don't even do Coda Coves but was curious about the gifts - well investigate and there are the gems, gee they're colored plus .
It wasn't necessary to point out that the answer wasn't one color - it never asked for one color. READ the question.

Hopefully my daughter isn't going to complain as much - she wont she's a child but isn't childish - I know she was investigating candle colours since it was Debi's birthday - I expect she put the wrong answer down -

Perhaps some people still need to learn they can't always be correct - whine if it makes you feel better I suppose - then take it on the chin and move along - letter sequences may be frustrating too. Being wrong happens in life - learn to accept you're not perfect - quit blaming others.

Debi, please, keep up the great job and I so hope you had a Happy Birthday.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I also answered purple, I thought they were the colours of the stargazer game.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I read the question and couldn't see why it was easy. I sat and searched for a while then it clicked, personally I can't see how DMD (or anything else) fits without being contrived.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Then if you aren't 100% sure about the answer you're putting (and aren't just guessing), mail Debilee. Chances are if you had mailed Debilee this last time asking if purple was the right color, she would have said something hinting about it not being a color.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

"what happens when two answers fit"
obvious answer... you pick one... 50/50 chance!
all the arguements about this one having multiple answers... it didn't. one answer fit the best. period.
and if you get it wrong (like i did)... then if you really want the item (like the bunni earrings and this pie), then you go and buy them!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And also Forsworn, just for the record, there have been quite a few times in the past year that there's been more than one valid answer for the trivia question. Just ask about the owl debacle.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Chalk up another one for the "purple" people eater...ah well, such is trivia

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ah, but Forsworn, what happens when both answers fit the question equally well, hmmm? Just take a wild guess as to which one Saint Debi is thinking of? Or what if you're looking and find an answer that obviously fits so you quit looking without knowing that it's not the answer that Debi is thinking of? If trivia foul ups were a rare thing, I doubt you'd see much complaining.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And for the record, I didn't figure it out. I put purple because I figured it was a fair shot, but figured it had about a 10% chance of being right.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ok - so I just popped in to see what the answer was to "super easy" giveaway trivia. I didn't even try but I am SO happy to see I am not the only one who just did not get it. feels better about self now

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Since when is there only one possible solution to a trivia. The point is to try to find the "best" answer that fits. Your time is better spent looking for the next one before you have to whine tomorrow that it wasn't up long enough.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Just because you chose to interpret it one way doesn't mean that's the way it was meant to be. It was a list of colors, that doesn't mean a color was missing. Assume that, sure, but you don't know that's what it meant.

Quote:

; border: 1px solid ; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10;">Where did I ever say that either black or white were, or were not, colors? All I think I said is what's missing. XD

Debi said that, which was enough of a hint to me to assume it wasn't quite as straightforward as it seemed.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You're right Ariel, she didn't say what color was missing, but that in no way means that purple isn't a legitimate answer. You people who are kissing up are starting to grasp at straws to validate your own flawed arguments. I'd really hate to see what y'all are like when it come to a serious debate or argument.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

well that's enough looking for me. this top isn't worth anymore than that ;P

I swear after this post I'll stop trying to explain myself to the lot of you.

She never said it WASN'T A color either. She never said it was a list of items or anything else for that matter. She just gave a list of color and asked what was missing and depending on how one read the question, it would have led you to either the Purple from the dice (ie a missing COLOR) or the Dream gem (ie a missing ITEM). Both are right in the very vague context of the question.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

To those of you saying that she said color: no, she didn't.

And everyone knows that 2x2 is 612/0. D<

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I personally answered purple because I was thinking of a set of pool. And since that the trivia was on one of the Gem Harvesting days, people might have caught the drift.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You forgot to carry the 5... 2 + 1 = turnip

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

2 + 2? No idea what that is.

I do know that 2 + 1 = pig, though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Tetrao, would you like to know why there are so many complaints tonight? It's quite simple really. It's because the trivia question was FLAWED! There were multiple correct answers despite what Saint Debi may say. If you go back and look at the comments on past trivias where the answers were more defined, you will see hardly no whining as you put it. The complaints that are being posted tonight are legitimate and valid. Sadly tho, they will be ignored and/or belittled by those who think that DebiLee can do no wrong. And I'm complaining as a person who does quite well at the trivia questions, having correctly answered over 140 of them in my short time on Subeta.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I am so glad that I wasn't alone in thinking purple for the Dark Matter Dice Game. I play that far more than mining for gems, and so to me it seemed obvious.

Until I realized that the recent News posts had the Galactic theme, and after I had already answered I thought that the answer would likely be dream.

I'm not arguing my point further, I've made my position clear and supported it with facts.

[quote]The very fact that the trivia stated the answer was easy eliminates all possibility of it being that image[/img]

I just wanna say, easy means vastly different things to many people. I find associating colors in a picture easier then a finding a list of items. You and many others may feel differently, but it just shows that "easy" can never be applied very accurately to a trivia question.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

actually, this one was supposed to be that way. but I'm not worried. I still think the pie's just not my thing.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hey, stop bugging MY Debi (yes, I hereby claim Debi in the name of ME). If I could figure it out, it was simple.

And would using that matter really be fair to people who are color blind?

Concerning that little picture of the matter that you showed, Seerow... I can't tell the blue from the green, or if what I think is purple is actually blue. And is there an orange in there, or does it just go from red to yellow?

I initially thought the answer was purple too - simply because the list consisted of the basic colors and shades, excluding purple. But if she's saying it's easy, it's not going to be some small obscure image. The very fact that the trivia stated the answer was easy eliminates all possibility of it being that image.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

the trivia answers all make sense once you see them in hindsight! we can't get them all right. i wouldn't want the trivia's to be too easy. they are supposed to challenge us, make us think, not hand us cool rare items on a silver platter for guessing that 2+2=4.
debilee thanks for all you do and put up with!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

One of the purposes of this board is to discuss the old trivia, right? I don't think anyone is blowing a gasket ...

Like I did say ... I was very happy to see that something non-subjective was actually the answer. I didn't like putting down "purple" as my answer, because I felt it was a subjective one.

Congrats to those who got it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Seerow - That trivia is finished with. If you want the item, buy it, if not move on.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

LOL! I swear the whiner are out in full force tonight! You are a saint DebiLee to deal with them so calmly. I get trivias wrong all the time and don't whine about it. I just look at the answer and go "oh yeah, that makes much more sense!" and move on. This is a game people, have fun with it. Don't blow a gasket.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh man, I missed another one.. geez. I really want this one.. I LOVE that tube top.. but I hate these sequences.. hopefully it won't be too hard.. goes to look for a bit

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Seerow, you're not accomplishing anything with arguing. Certain people have made up their minds and can't be swayed by something as insignificant as evidence or facts.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Debi, you must either be the most patient person on the planet or locked away someplace in a rubber room. Thank you for doing what you do. hands you an asprin

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Seerow: If the answer had been purple from the dice game, then all the people who guessed based on the rainbow would have been right. Purple is so common you wouldn't even need to know what the question was referring to get the right answer, which is why you should have thought it through and kept searching for a better answer (the dream gem)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And the pet colors would have been dawn, lilac, etc. So that rules everything out other than gems, I guess. But dark matter dice not being popular really doesn't have anything to do with it. XD;

Gosh I need to go to bed too now that everyone mentions it. :C It's 2:00 AM and there's construction people who are coming later today xD;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Anyway, I actually agree that dream is a better answer.

I can't tell the colors very well myself of the shards/tomes/amulets ... The death one looks a little on the grey side to me as well, but I figured it might just be my monitor.

I appreciate the fact that there was an answer that was clear (and didn't mean making a subjective determination of something's color).

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I can see all the colors just fine, and my eyesight is not and never has been anywhere near perfect. Sure, they are harder to see then the gems if they were all in a row, but they are technically all there and as such, fit the criteria for the trivia.

The trivia stated: Blue, red, yellow, green, orange, white, black... what is missing?

What is missing is the color purple if you look at the Matter. If you look at the gems, Dream is missing. Without any hint as to what you expecting, its a toss up between the two.

The color purple is Subeta related when it is in direct relation to a specific Subeta item, from a specific Subeta game, drawn by a Subeta artists. I'm not sure how it gets any more Subeta then that honestly.
