FFR Trivia!

**Tasselfoot** · 05-30-2006, 02:45 PM

I made this group for all of us to have daily trivia competitions against each other.

No prizes as of now, but perhaps that could change later on.

Anyway... I'll be changing the genres of the questions from day to day. Today is General Knowledge. Others could be the 70s, Baseball, Music, Movies, etc etc etc.

This site has 700,000+ questions.

http://my.funtrivia.com/tournament/F...via-54302.html

Just quickly register for free, and compete. You are given a score based on number correct AND speed. So googling all the answers will likely give you a worse score than someone who gets 8 or 9 but does it much faster.

Enjoy.

Meh I only got 6 right today. One under you Tass. =(

Tokzic · 05-30-2006, 02:51 PM

Rofl, I sucked.

**Tasselfoot** · 05-30-2006, 02:53 PM

I'll probably keep it with this set of questions for the next few days... and then switch to something else for a day or two and then keep moving.

I did this on another forum earlier with a different question set that was easier. Got 9, shoulda gotten 10... but I like this better. Puts more emphasis on getting them right instead of speed.

**Shashakiro** · 05-30-2006, 02:56 PM

lmao, I actually knew the answer to exactly 1 question and still got 5 XD

EDIT: Two actually.

**Chromer** · 05-30-2006, 02:57 PM

ROFL I just noticed it took me 71 seconds and I still got 6 right. Blame my parents for all the years of making me read and watch Jeopardy. =P

Tps222 · 05-30-2006, 02:58 PM

Got 5, I should have had 7, but I guess it decided to change my answers.

It seems we all have different questions.

Tokzic · 05-30-2006, 02:58 PM

T-Foot?

aight playa

Grandiagod · 05-30-2006, 02:59 PM

I'm in the lead

Linkisdoomed · 05-30-2006, 03:08 PM

Tass, I had this exact idea a day ago. Only, I was thinking the trivia should be more based around SM/DDR/FFR/other gaming sims with arrows.

Awesome!

**Shashakiro** · 05-30-2006, 03:09 PM

lol I could whip up an FFR The Game trivia quiz pretty fast...lol, not hard.

**Tasselfoot** · 05-30-2006, 03:21 PM

there are only so many questions that are Bemani related... Aka, hundreds (maybe a few thousand) vs close to a million here.

plus, this keeps EVERYONE interested... vs those who care about bemani.

Other notes:
-Each person's questions are different... just that everyone gets questions from the same category
-I figured out the scoring:
Score = (# correct * 100) - time

EDIT: Had to go with T-Foot, because they don't allow names with profanity (apparently Tasselfoot is profane).

**Chromer** · 05-30-2006, 03:21 PM

Yea alot more video game/pop culture is what we need to have instead of heights of dead presidents. =/

**Xandertrax** · 05-30-2006, 03:22 PM

Fun game...

I just need to chose my time better... as soon as i started it, i got kicked off my computer... : (

i didn't know your score was based on time.

whoops

oh well. Great game.

**DarkManticoreX2** · 05-30-2006, 03:24 PM

6 right
and in 6th place

Tokzic · 05-30-2006, 03:25 PM

Wow, you could totally Google your way into the lead if that's the formula.

**Xandertrax** · 05-30-2006, 03:29 PM

Googling wouldn't really work... a lot of these questions are kinda obscure... just random stuff that you pick up along the way.

only really factual stuff would be easy to find.

your time would be way too high.

**Tasselfoot** · 05-30-2006, 03:31 PM

Ehh... I found this through another forum... and I managed 9 right without much trouble there.

The time penalty IS a hinderance to those who would otherwise just google everything, BUT... chances are the extra 100 points gotten for the correct answer would out weigh the time spent, so it would improve that individuals score. Whether it would put them ahead of someone who got 8/9 w/o googling at all... *shrugs*.

No system is perfect, but this system seems to be the best possible. And regardless, it is still fun.

Game updates every midnight, EST.

I couldn't go with scorpio1690, I'm guessing because the 69 is profane. scorpio16 here.
