| @Excallq: I agree that the 2-rank margin makes is so that you don't have to know as much as the quiz purports to test, but I don't really follow what you say about starting with California and Russia and then copying/pasting. What the 2-rank margin means is that you have to know the right order for only ONE of the groups (either US states or European countries), and the right order for only one of the members of the other group. So, to take your example, let's say you start out with California and Russia, and you also know the states in the right order, but not the European countries. Because of the 2-rank margin, you can just type in "Russia" next to Texas, which then gives you "Germany," which you can then type next to New York, and so on and so forth. So the 2-rank margin eliminates the need to know BOTH orders, but it doesn't mean that all you need to know is California and Russia. Were you actually trying to say what I just said? If so, then I totally agree with you and think that the 2-rank margin should be removed; otherwise it defeats the purpose of the quiz. But in that case, I think I would suggest adding a lot of time, because then the quiz would really be very challenging. |
