a mind is a terrible thing to waste

I'd add more questions to it but they only allow for 15 seperate categories to be in the questions pool, and I already have 15. The search engine sucks hard as well, back when I was adding categories to it I tried searching for NFL related questions and nothing came up, yet when I traversed throughout the broader categories to the smaller NFL questions they had a bunch of the categories that are in the list today.

I do think at the end of the month though I will delete 5 or so categories and try to find some better questions. I don't like the fact that we keep getting repetitive questions either, with the amount of questions there are in the question pool there shouldn't be any reason why we are getting the same questions over and over.

The reason I can't just add and delete categories at random in the questions pool though is because they don't have individual add/delete buttons. The only way you can get rid of Q's in the pool is by clicking a button that will erase the entire pool so I'd have to start over, and that's a big hassle that I can't just go through everytime I want to add/delete a category. Hence why if changes are going to be made to the pool it's going to happen like once a month or so. If you guys have a category you would like deleted just let me know, and if you don't know where the categories are go back to the first page of this thread and find my post where I had all the categories in. Keep in mind you aren't going to be able to see the categories until you highlight my entire post.

mooby · 06-01-2008, 06:30 AM

Okay so I added some new categories and got rid of some old ones as well, but there are some categories in there that were there from last month. The categories are:
(You have to highlight my post to read the categories)

1. NFL Mixture (244 q's)
2. Rules of Football (41 q's)
3. NFL Coaches (67 q's)
4. NFL 2000 (36 q's)
5. NFL 2001 (33 q's)
6. NFL 2002 (82 q's)
7. NFL 2003 (210 q's)
8. Super Bowl 2000s (29 q's)
9. NFL 2004 (55 q's)
10. NFL 2005 (98 q's)

Most of the categories have a nice mix of hard/easy questions, but the NFL Mixture category is almost exclusively easy questions that most beginners to the NFL could figure out. The Rules of Football category has a couple hard questions as well, but not anything someone who's been watching football for a few years can't figure out.

So that's all, there are only 10 categories in there so if people think we need more questions in it I will add some more.

mooby · 06-06-2008, 12:42 PM

So I'm gonna change it up a bit soon, I'm getting rid of the NFL Mixture category because some of the quizzes in that have questions that are totally f'd up. For instance, this question, that I got wrong, which is actually correct.

1. What Team won the super bowl in 1999?

Your Answer: Rams
The correct answer was Giants.

The Rams Beat the Titans 23 to 16

I think that just goes to show some quizzes are made by people that don't know how to make quizzes lol. And yes, that is everybody's freebie for the day.

You killed my time. I had to really sit and think about some of these. The Parcells questions threw me off. It was basically the same question twice
