	This is probably the first sample many of you have seen of a feature that only became available to all quizwriters today. It makes use of two new checkboxes on the Game Info page: "Bonus/Hidden answers become wrong answers" and "Wrong answers end the quiz". I've also in this case checked the "Randomize order of answers" and "Force answers in order" boxes. To give you an example of how it works, here's how a clue could be coded: Only Beatle to sing or play on "Yesterday" \| Correct: The other 3 weren't in the studio / Paul \| (3rd column blank) Only Beatle to sing or play on "Yesterday" \| Wrong Beatle! Try again. / John / George / Ringo \| ee The trick is to repeat the exact clue in the first column for the "wrong answers", include a common generic display for "wrong answers" then put "ee" in the 3rd column. I reused a lot of info from this game: http://www.sporcle.com/games/d43b/Beatles_Trivia because I thought it was a great game that could really work in a format like this. (You may note that about 1/3rd of the clues in this game came from my comment to the original author. So this really deserves co-authorship.)

	Thanks for taking the time to explain how this format works! It's a bit draconian for most purposes, but I agree that it really works well for something like this, where the number of possible answers is so limited that it would be much less challenging if there were no penalty for guessing wrong.

	Oops! I missed a critical line break in the example: Only Beatle to sing or play on "Yesterday" \| Correct: The other 3 weren't in the studio / Paul \| (3rd column blank) Only Beatle to sing or play on "Yesterday" \| Wrong Beatle! Try again. / John / George / Ringo \| ee

	@Rockgolf While this is an interesting use of the new format, this is an excellent example of a quiz that the wrong Beatle should be wrong, but that the person can answer other questions, and guess on others with only a one question penalty. So here, if you guess the wrong Beatle you should get it wrong, but still be able to work on the other questions. Sure in some instances you want people to have to do a tight-rope walk and make sure they answer the questions they are most sure of first, and then start taking risks, but obscure Beatles trivia is not the place to do that. That's more for a topic that people know very well, or the answers are pretty limited, in my opinion.

	@rockgolf, none of the wrong answers work for the SNL question.

	rockgolf:	Apr 25th, 2011 at 20:04 GMT	0 points
	@LTH: Thanks. I've fixed that. (I added an underline to "host" but only on the original clue. George was the first to perform - with Paul Simon.)

	Saints09:	Apr 25th, 2011 at 20:24 GMT	-1 points
	Wow you already made a game!

	rockgolf:	Apr 25th, 2011 at 20:32 GMT	1 point
	@Sprout: Great idea! Done and done.

	rockgolf:	Apr 25th, 2011 at 20:36 GMT	0 points
	(Just to be clear, with reference to the first comment, I've turned off the "Wrong answers end game" function". Now the only effect of picking the wrong Beatle is that you can't get that point.)

	Shadowman621:	Apr 25th, 2011 at 23:26 GMT	4 points
	If I could make a few critiques, I've seen the name of George's son written as Dhani not Dannii, and the PBS show Ringo was in was technically Shining Time Station as that was Thomas the Tank Engine's debut stateside

	rockgolf:	Apr 26th, 2011 at 01:44 GMT	2 points
	@Shadowman: Two excellent points. Somehow I confused George's son with Kylie's sister. They hardly look alike at all. Thanks, fixed.

	great work dude! love the game!!

	Mijzelffan:	Apr 26th, 2011 at 08:43 GMT	3 points
	I answered everything with Paul.

	midlifecrisis:	Apr 26th, 2011 at 15:34 GMT	3 points
	The only issue is now that "try again" doesn't really apply because if you answer incorrectly you are done for that question. Otherwise I love this format and hope to utilize it in the future.

	rockgolf:	Apr 26th, 2011 at 19:30 GMT	1 point
	@MLC: Yeah, that worked better with "one wrong move and you're dead". I've put a different phrase in, but I'd rather have an apropos Beatle lyric. Any suggestions?

	@jmwhitestripes: I'm not clear what you're trying to say. "John" is only supposed to answer about 7 of the clues. Enter "john" on the others and you should get a "sorry" message.

	Sequel!

	I'm trying to make a quiz with the new wrong answer thing and I can't figure out why it's not working and not even the hints are showing up when I test it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

	rockgolf:	Apr 29th, 2011 at 11:55 GMT	1 point
	@Ncr: See the sample in my first or second comment. The right answers go first. Use exactly the same clue for the wrong answers and put "ee" in the third column.

	ncr1119:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 05:59 GMT	1 point
	Hmm it's still not working I've tried everything. When I test the quiz, not even the hint shows up but if I type the right answer it appears. However, if I type the wrong answer nothing happens.

	@rockgolf sorry i meant that i tried john but it didn't work so i got another guess
