Title: SMAC quizzes at AC2!
Post by: Rymdolov on October 28, 2012, 10:47:58 AM

I've now made a SMAC quiz for all of you to enjoy and compete in. Go to 'Commons ---> Quiz and search for it. There's also a quiz about one of my favourite movies, Trainspotting.

Whoever wins the SMAC quiz is, of course, the Awesome Master of Awesome Awesomeness!  ;)

It's supposed to be a tricky quiz.

Some reason I timed out on 1, but I matched the amount of correct questions with first place.

it looks like moving this thread from the Recreation Commons (http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?board=6.0) to here was a good idea. now the SMAC quiz is one of the most played quizzes. ;b;
still, it should be the most played quiz, as this was a SMAC forum last time i checked!  :scratch:

Most of my time was spent moving my mouse upwards from "next question".

Impressive. ;b;

Well, it's site policy to greet the newb, so hi there, Maniac!

There are now two more quizzes related to SMAC!

First there's the SMAC Stress Test! It only has 10 easy or very easy questions - but you only have 3 seconds per question to come up with the right answer!

Then there's the SMAX quotes quiz. I wanted people who don't own SMAX to be able to compete in the first quiz, so I left out SMAX-specific quotes. Now, however, there's an extra quiz for those of you who do own SMAX.

Good luck!

Well, I just got a perfect score on the stress test...it says I need to wait half an hour to do the second one.

Title: Re: Take the first SMAC quiz!
Post by: sisko on November 15, 2012, 04:32:06 PM

good job on the new quizzes, Rym! ;b;

the thread title should be updated, though.. can you do that?

..it says I need to wait half an hour to do the second one.

this is from the quizz settings:

Quote

This is the value in minutes before a user can resume playing a quiz. This is to discourage cheating, so the user does not keep closing the quiz window to obtain the answer each time.

Post by: Yitzi on November 15, 2012, 06:09:41 PM

On the second, I got 7/10.

Well done! We'll see if someone can beat your time, then. 

The feedback needed for these quizzes is given simply by taking them, so that I can see if they're too easy or too hard. Maybe the next one will have a one second limit...

No, wait, it seems that I could. Can anyone change the title of a thread they have started?
