Can you pick the actions that follow the hidden rule (after trying to figure out the rule)?

created by AuroraIllumina

Click the matching answer button below
Correctly selected answers will show up in green
Also try: Find the hidden rule! (clickable)
There's a hidden rule that I haven't revealed, and the object of the game is to click on answers that follow the rule. The earlier you figure it out, the better, as you can avoid the wrong answers.
You aren't expected to get a perfect score, since you may need to click on some wrong ones early on in order to figure out the rule. *Note: Some people do these actions differently than others. Think about what the most common way to do these actions are.

	Hey there! So I made another one of these. It's quite a bit smaller than the last one, but I hope that's mostly a good thing. Anyways, the rule this time is one based on how these actions are actually done rather than a wordplay thing. I tried to account for the ways that most people do these things, and I tried to avoid ambiguities. If you think something's ambiguous, please let me know and I may replace it with something else.

	Nice one! Figured out the rule after 5 incorrect guesses.

	needapausebutton:	Apr 29th, 2012 at 01:27 GMT		4 points
	Great job, AuroraIllumina; just like the first game. Some ambiguous ones I feel are: "Changing a light bulb"; "Swatting a Fly"; "Painting the Wall" (because it's quite easy for there to be exceptions to the rule - this has been personally true for me many times -- think about them a bit and you'll see how/why). Also: "Flying a kite indoors" has no basis for the test "commonly done by most people" -- I actually thought it was a trick answer and missed it. Still; great game!

	Heh, good point. I have seen indoor kite flying on TV before, but I guess it's a bit of an obscure hobby. I'll try to replace those with less ambiguous things if I think of better ideas. ***I am open to suggestions for replacement options. Feel free to suggest other options that can fit the theme to replace the ambiguous ones.

	Very nice. Just how big is the house of cards in question?

	Figured out the rule near the end of my first time doing the quiz. Tried it again and got everything right. Loved playing! :)

	Got it right away from the URL

	Although I can't clean a toilet like that!

	Your quizzes are so frustrating for me, but I love playing them anyways :P

	heypeople12:	May 5th, 2012 at 13:16 GMT		0 points
	I GOT IT!!!!!!!! So proud of myself, as I've tried your first quiz about fifty times and still have no clue. I'd really appreciate some help as it's really bugging me!!!!!! But great game.

	AuroraIllumina:	May 5th, 2012 at 14:57 GMT		1 point
	@4^4: How else would you clean the toilet? Surely you're not on the toilet when you're cleaning it, are you? :P @Joslynn: Glad you enjoyed it. @heypeople12: In my first quiz, anything that contains a particular "taboo" symbol is wrong. (I'll think it's okay to post this on this quiz as most won't find this during trying to do that quiz.) Also, I mentioned that I was open for suggestions for better answers to replace some ambiguous ones. Does anyone want to suggest something? (I want to keep the indoor kite flying one there because it got a few laughs out of some people though.)

	Great quiz! The only one I missed after I got the rule was "Getting your eyes checked." When I have done this, I have always been doing the rule at one end of the room looking at a chart at the other end of the room.

	gbv:	May 14th, 2012 at 14:14 GMT		1 point
	I figured out the rule immediately, and still had 2 left and couldn't figure them out. The kite-flying one is bizarre and I don't even know how you'd do it indoors following the rule, and skydiving? Have you ever gone skydiving?

	Evil44:	May 14th, 2012 at 17:02 GMT		1 point
	"Swatting a fly" is ambiguous...maybe replace it with "Walking around an amusement park" or something. And gbv has a point..."skydiving" is also slightly ambiguous, depending on which phase of the activity you are referring.

	AuroraIllumina:	May 14th, 2012 at 21:54 GMT		1 point
	Thanks for the feedback. Skydiving was too ambiguous, and I guess fly-swatting isn't clear-cut either. I'll remove the kite-flying one as well. (Indoor kite flying does exist, but it is a bit of an obscure hobby.)

Comment below threshold: show it

	I managed to do it getting only one wrong, but am still not 100% sure that my rule is correct. :/ I'll take it that it is. Great quiz. It gets your brain thinking!

	Misca:	May 15th, 2012 at 18:12 GMT		1 point
	Some of these options can be done either way (IF you know what the hidden rule is). Watching paint dry, waiting in a waiting room are two examples. Managed 65 after I discovered the rule.

	@AuroraIllumina -- Glad to see this received an Editor Pick. Hallmark of a great game-maker: Fun, creative games, willing to make adjustments, and leaving us either tooting our own horn or crawling up the wall in bewilderment.

	TimMierz:	May 17th, 2012 at 17:58 GMT		2 points
	Love the quiz title. Subtle.

	AuroraIllumina:	May 19th, 2012 at 15:50 GMT		4 points
	OK, some more ambiguous ones were swapped out. Thanks! @Anyone who needs a hint: Feel free to think about it, but don't do so in front of the computer. Try to remember some correct ones and some incorrect ones, and think about it while you're taking a walk on the beach or something similar. Also, don't sleep on this.

	One of the most complex quiz's that I have done on Sporcle. I was very surprised at myself scoring in the 97th percentile. Well done, this is a great idea :). I want to make one myself but I'm not sure I'm capable of it.

	PS90:	May 23rd, 2012 at 23:24 GMT		2 points
	Well, I'm obviously the stupidest person here. I got a 61% and still have no idea what the "rule" is...

	Ulkomaalainen:	May 24th, 2012 at 00:57 GMT		1 point
	Don't feel too bad - I got 65 of 66 and still would not be sure how to formulate the "true/false" rule. I have a general idea - but that's it.

	MisterF:	May 30th, 2012 at 03:52 GMT		2 points
	I think I know the rule. My new challenge I'm giving myself is to do as many of the correct answers as possible while violating the rule.

	AuroraIllumina:	May 30th, 2012 at 21:10 GMT		1 point
	@MisterF: If you ever dunk a basketball while violating the rule, I'd certainly like you to YouTube that. You should be able to get in the Guinness World Records like that. ;)

	CH1LLI:	Jun 1st, 2012 at 20:12 GMT		2 points
	Nice quiz. Found the rule after three guesses then tried to not get another one wrong

	Zak6009:	Oct 28th, 2012 at 14:54 GMT		1 point
	Oh, what a big difference it makes not knowing what a Segway is. Nice quiz though make more of these!
