	Any feedback, popular wrong answers, missed answers, acceptable answers?

	Spacemaniac:	Sep 27th, 2012 at 20:52 GMT		2 points
	Very good quiz, must have taken a while to put together I congratulate you on that. You should make it possible to just type in English for 1st grade english or astronomy for 3rd grade astronomy.

	timjim:	Sep 27th, 2012 at 21:04 GMT		1 point
	@Spacemaniac: No, because otherwise people might just pick the subject randomly and have it come up. I don't want that to happen.

	Spacemaniac:	Sep 27th, 2012 at 21:14 GMT		0 points
	I'm nominating it, I think it's a great idea for a quiz!!!! It should get an editor pick or at least a curator pick sometime soon.

	alphadog:	Sep 27th, 2012 at 23:26 GMT		4 points
	I like the idea, however I got the last question wrong because I couldn't type "southeast" quickly enough. Maybe have people type something after their answer to signal they are done?

	timjim:	Sep 28th, 2012 at 02:29 GMT		0 points
	I accepted se, but any other direction is wrong

	otis89:	Sep 28th, 2012 at 03:48 GMT		6 points
	Sorry, but that's a bad final question then. People are going to try typing southeast and they'll be told they're wrong when they just type in south. I'd use a different final question.

	timjim:	Sep 28th, 2012 at 10:08 GMT		-2 points
	I'll fix that so south doesn't count.

	timjim:	Sep 29th, 2012 at 01:50 GMT		0 points
	Is it me, or are a lot of people not getting how this quiz works? There is a signifigant drop in % after the 1st 3 answers.

	Pillbug:	Sep 29th, 2012 at 03:53 GMT		1 point
	I was able to spell "congratulations" when I was in 5th grade...

	giveupyet:	Oct 2nd, 2012 at 17:36 GMT		5 points
	Great set-up and quiz! You can click "accept single character answers" if you don't want to make people type a period or space after answering a multiple choice question. Also, "heliopause" shouldn't necessarily be the wrong answer for the outermost solar system layer since the existence of the Oort cloud layer is hypothetical at the moment, while the heliopause is known to exist. Awesome job!

	The major problem with this is that "English" triggers a wrong answer and ends the quiz. That's the reason why there's such a % drop after the first three answers. Your concern that people will guess "English" at random is ludicrous because it's one of the first two choices that pop up after the quiz starts. People are typing in "English" because it's an option and you have it ending the quiz. If that's the only reason you have it as a bad answer, I strongly suggest you change that. (ditto with Animal science, if that's a mine as well). Otherwise, this is some good work--I hope you can fix it up.

	Sorry. I was trying to make English a wrong answer in the music question as in the "English Horn" type of group. I fixed this and made the subjects without the grade acceptable answers. Thanks for pointing out my mistakes, that was what my first comment was for. I do want to know if most people will only type in "science" for the animal science question, even though I made that one the example in the description. Also, I want this quiz to be a success because I spent about 2 weeks working on it. Thanks for pointing these things out.

	My comment from about 2 months ago: I'm nominating it, I think it's a great idea for a quiz!!!! It should get an editor pick or at least a curator pick sometime soon. Well, it finally got what it deserved!!

	I'll accept the Oort cloud as soon as you prove to me that it exists.

	Toby123:	Nov 30th, 2012 at 12:26 GMT		1 point
	Super quiz, although I am not smarter than a 5th grader!

	lexilou:	Nov 30th, 2012 at 15:30 GMT		3 points
	I dont get it. Why do we have to choose a subject when you have to answer all the questions to get the full code? A good idea for a quiz but its not quite explained well enough.

	gbv:	Nov 30th, 2012 at 16:46 GMT		1 point
	I thought I was supposed to type the letter, not the full answer, so I typed b and then a space on the first question and the mine went off. I understand now, but I don't understand why the mine went off.

	timjim:	Nov 30th, 2012 at 20:37 GMT		0 points
	I did want the accept single character answers to work, but the problem is that one of the answers to the questions is baritone which starts with a b

	timjim:	Nov 30th, 2012 at 20:42 GMT		1 point
	Also I wanted it to be like the actual game show where you unlock different grades as you go along. The code was just to make sure that you completed all of the subjects. @SeaCalMaster: It is what most scientists think as the outermost layer.

	timjim:	Nov 30th, 2012 at 20:55 GMT		0 points
	Actually, I think I will accept Heliopause for the people who are so dramatic about the Oort cloud not existing.

	chriskotx:	Nov 30th, 2012 at 22:29 GMT		14 points
	I'd be willing to bet that not one of the first 1000 4th graders I asked tomorrow would have a clue about which ion in salt has a positive charge.

	Josephklimp:	Nov 30th, 2012 at 22:49 GMT		2 points
	I never learned the wwi one until 2 weeks ago...phew

	randomquizzes:	Nov 30th, 2012 at 23:19 GMT		7 points
	Half of these are a couple grades ahead of what they say they are. Third graders will not know what the Oort Cloud is, and fourth graders will not know which ion is positively charged in table salt or what the treaty after World War I was named. Maybe this is the curriculum is some other country, but it's not the curriculum in the U.S. (where most Sporcle users are from.) Say it's U.S.-centric, but us Americans need our grade levels handicapped. Our educational curriculum is behind what people have in Europe and Asia. But great concept for the quiz anyway. Fun to play.

	If you saw the real game show, you will see that most questions are a couple grades above what they should be. That's why the fifth graders they use are the smartest in the country because they know many grades ahead of them Example, some 4th grade questions actually used in the game show were: Who was the first president to be impeached? Part of a person's sleep cycle is the REM cycle. What does REM stand for? And what is the name of the form of picture used by the Egyptians. There are a lot more hard questions like this and these are way above the grade level.

	IronDragline:	Dec 1st, 2012 at 04:38 GMT		0 points
	Good overall concept, but the last question needs to be changed. Firstly, when asking for a direction, it should always have a point of reference, otherwise it's meaningless. Secondly, at no point is it specified that it needs to be a mix of two cardinal directions. It's just an awful, idiotic mess of a question.

	timjim:	Dec 1st, 2012 at 12:36 GMT		2 points
	I'll change it

	Fusty:	Dec 1st, 2012 at 14:42 GMT		1 point
	what do you define city as. What population? I was typing norilsk in russia when it came up that i lost, only after I typed nor.

	timjim:	Dec 1st, 2012 at 16:09 GMT		1 point
	sorry about the hold up. I had a problem fixing the final question

	coulraphobic123:	Dec 1st, 2012 at 16:33 GMT		3 points
	I knew the answer to the last question, but you have it spelled wrong...

	_Firefly_:	Dec 1st, 2012 at 17:20 GMT		2 points
	Agree coulraphobic. You are missing the second "y". Should be "byen" not "ben".

	Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to my bad habits. It is fixed

	timjim:	Dec 2nd, 2012 at 13:02 GMT		1 point
	Okay. Everything I noticed was wrong is now fixed

	I live in Canada, which is known for its education system. I feel like there are many questions that are random excerpts from grade school texts that are not studied or talked about until later... I only went in-depth into the Treaty of Versailles and ion charges in Grade 10. The last question, although I know meant to be difficult, is random trivia knowledge and not something that would ever be talked about in school; the town has less people than my high school did. "Congratulations" is also spelled incorrectly. It's a very well put together quiz and I think your format is perfect, but those questions should be saved for an "Are You Smarter Than a 10th Grader?" quiz.

	timjim:	Dec 2nd, 2012 at 22:53 GMT		1 point
	If you don't like the questions I am making, can you give me some examples or replacements?

	montylaw:	Dec 3rd, 2012 at 06:24 GMT		0 points
	I got all the answers, but had no idea what was meant by "answer the code." Can somebody clue me in?

	soshoreman:	Dec 5th, 2012 at 18:28 GMT		1 point
	Longyearbyen's population of 2,400 doesn't qualify it as a "city" by any definition. You would be more accurate to call it a permanent settlement. And what fifth grader knew that answer?

	Oldbogie:	Dec 5th, 2012 at 21:03 GMT		3 points
	According to Wiki ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northernmost_settlements ) Longyearbyen is NOT the most northerly. You have made the definition rather vague and, apparently, introduced an unspecified criteria of 'more than 1000 population'; I would also like to know what 5th grader would know the answer - perhaps a Norwegian. ;-)
