Subeta -

I'm hoping everyone got it properly. In that case, there would be a lot more coreball available, and the cost of buying one wouldn't be as expensive.

No, I'm not saying that the other types of Trivia submissions won't be being used, just that I won't be deleting 24-36 perfectly good Trivias. The number sequences generally have nothing to do with math, people just read OMG! OH NO MATH! into them. I do, however, delete all non Subeta related, personal info (example: what is my pet's name?), incorrect, multiple, previously used, and subject to change prior to the end Trivia submissions.

Kitty: The answer was "No But heres a dictionary" It was found in Editorial Issue # 3.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What was the answer to the last one? I answered no...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

ha ha ha i most definitely knew this as soon as i saw it. it was in the editorials.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Event! I'm sorry, but your answer of can i have all your sp for the trivia was incorrect.
What the heck? I thought it asked us to translate it from n00b speak. Grrr! Plus that trivia kinda broke a rule... the chatspeak. -.-;

To me (and about 900 other players) it was rather clear. It specifically told us what to do with the punctuation - you leave it out. It said nothing about the 'missing' punctuation - it said 'any' punctuation. That pretty much covers it. (Why would you even consider adding the missing punctuation back it anyway?) How I saw it? Step One: write the answer exactly as you see it. Step Two: remove 'any' punctuation before you submit it.
It's a shame that so many were confused and perhaps the instructions can be a little more detailed next time. "No punctuation should appear in your answer. Keep it out. Remove it. Delete it. Erase it. Be gone with it. Punctuation - No More!" That should at least help half of the confused. The other half, of course, will still be lost. This isn't a perfect system, (as we have all discovered from time to time), but I'm pretty pleased with the fact that these types of misunderstanding have been (for the most part) few and far between.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I've guessed.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Okay, I'm a bit ticked. It's not exact if you change the punctuation of the answer, and yet the question could have been construed as asking that you do not ADD any punctuation that would be present if it were proper. This is ridiculous- finding the answer, but getting it wrong out of a technical fluke, and it's not the first time by far.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Your answer no but heres a dictionary for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an Dark Blue Sari and 555sP. Well I have no idea with this one I have had a good try though but I think i'll have to pass on this one. Anyway good luck with the trivia everyone .

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

.__.; numbers.. again.. blorg.. is a math failure

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I jsut find it not creative and boring to use the same types of trivias constantly. Tons of people submit trivias and they never get used. I dont see how its a punishment to not use the what comes next trivias if its fair to the users. The same people that know how to figure them out keep getting the prizes and the ones who dont just have to sit and how a readable, understandable trivia gets released for the not so genius users o.o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

LoL, I too have submitted a number of trivias, Im sure one of these days ONE will have to be picked eventually.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

If it's considered punishment not to have your trivias used, I suppose I'm probably an awful person. I've submitted dozens of them and never had a single one used.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

There were over three dozen next number/next letter Trivias submitted; if they're good they WILL be being used. Should we punish the people who submitted them by not using them just because some people don't like them (and the majority of the cheat sites can't figure them out)? No. On a happier note, there were 905 Saris won.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Im not one to complain a lot but these trivias are pure crap. They are boring and ALL THE SAME. These what come next trivias are getting really old and boring and the same people keep getting them right. Also the trivias that are cryptic as hell to the point you have no idea what its saying unless you have an IQ over 150.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, looks like the whole 'no more stupid number trivias' thing was a fluke

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

debilee, you're an angel for telling us this information. such as how many people won, and for sure if it's subeta related. It really helps.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

3121 users have tried this trivia.
Wow. This one is going on for ages.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Usually around 1500, but that's a guideline, not a hard and fast rule. Also depends, I think, on how many of the items they want in circulation.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You're not dumb if you can't find the answer, and the answer of the trivia isn't "so easy" - in most cases the ones who say its easy have spent so much time checking out the site for older trivias, that they may remember seeing something and so know where to look. And if you can't find it, its just because you haven't spent as much time looking around the site.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Over 3000 people have answered... what's the cutoff before it switches questions? ^^

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

335 got the plushie one correct.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You have got to be kidding me...is that some kind of trick trivia question? What answer would give me the sari? I want the sari...if I say no, would I not get it? XD My brain is absolutely hurting.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Debilee told us this morning that the automated system doesn't accept punctuation. I think it actually can't read the periods, exclamation marks, commas, etc. in our answers. That is why there can't be any punctuation in the answer. So, no...punctuation should not be in your answer. As for whether we leave the space where we removed the punctuation - that was never clarified (as far as I know). Like kyralie, I also left no space when I removed the punctuation.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

becketttj It has nothing to do with being dumb, all of these trivia are difficult. But the more we answer, the more chances we have to find the answer to the next one, because once you search all of the site several times, you have more chance to remember where you saw something related to the current trivia.

example, there was two number trivia last week, for the first one, I searched everywhere I could think of that had number, well, for the second one, I knew exactly where to look since I already saw the answer while searching for the first one.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I know theres gonna be a lot of people, and are already, complaining that they left in the punctuation, but it was clearly stated in the question not to have any punctuation. Now, I myself am confused on whether or not to leave the space where the punctuation was, as are a couple other people. I don't think thats the case though, so I left it out.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't understand the question, so I just took a wild guess... the trivia sure are hard these days

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

wow... almost 3000 people :X waits for the new trivia

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I.....really don't get this one. xD;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So, did we ever get a clarification on whether to really leave it exactly as is, or take out ALL punctuation?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't know how you people can get these week after week... I mean I try so hard every week to get one and I've only been able to do 6 in like, the past year... it's dumb... or maybe it's me... I'm dumb.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I answered earlier today and now, I am just certain it wasn't right...still don't know the right answer but pretty sure I ish wrong.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

That was easy! ^^

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

hmmm ... exact, and leave out punctuation. this is an oxymoron, as to be exact would include some punctuation, but the answer is missing punctuation itself. oh well ... i went with "exact", and am hoping it's right!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

'To me, the "leave out any punctuation" part was to clarify/add to/modify the first instruction of "exact."' - JenFlower

I would be inclined to agree with you except for the fact that there is an error with the punctuation in the answer itself. So, I took that to mean type it exactly as it is shown, don't correct the punctuation error. My loss I guess... and unfortunately also many others.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sorry, iamreal - there have been more than a few trivias where I felt exactly like that! I love your HA, by the way, it makes me want to visit a zoo, for some reason.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

How do you people understand these things? I searched and i didn't find an item, i don't even understand what I'm supposed to be answering, you call this EASY? I call it Impossible!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

To me, the "leave out any punctuation" part was to clarify/add to/modify the first instruction of "exact." The way I see it, "leave out any punctuation" definitely means to not have any punctuation in your answer. While I was confused as to what I was supposed to do with the "left out" punctuation (leave a space in its place or not), I definitely had no question as to whether punctuation belonged in the answer or not. It was right there in the instructions. Leave it out.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

jobo: Keep the original spaces. A space is not punctuation and it should stay with the answer to make it 'exact', per the instructions. On this same topic (and perhaps this is what you meant)....my problem this morning was whether we leave the space where the punctuation once stood. For example: do I remove the punctuation with the delete key (thereby moving the rest of the answer to the left to replace the deleted punctuation's location) or do I remove the punctuation as though I were using an eraser (thereby preserving the space where the punctuation originated.) To me...if I were to keep the answer "Exact", but "leaving out any punctuation", I should do it the second way. But, I chose to answer the first way...I hope I was right. Talk about overthinking it!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I hope I've got it right DX It'd be really sad if I got it wrong I mean seriously I'd have to be a complete loser to get this one wron D8 T^T

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm totally braindead today. ;o;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

if I got this wrong, I'll cry...I think I went right to it practically...XP

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Haha, sadly I knew this as soon as I saw it xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

1852 users have tried this trivia. ----- OMG o_O"

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I hope everyone got it right. That way there'd be a lot more in circulation, and the price wouldn't be so high for one.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I hope this ends early because of all the people who have answered it. =x

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Apparently Debbie posted earlier and said that the trivia actually won't accept any punctuation at all- no commas, periods, hyphens, anything. So you have to take it all out.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm confused. Does this mean not to FIX the missing punctuation or does this mean to take out all the punctuation that it has?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I just answered the first thing that came to my head...xD But that would be waaay too easy...XD Ohwell
