Share your Stephen King quizzes

[Costas]

I don't know about you folks, but ever since I started using goodreads I've taken a liking to the quiz feature.
So I decided to open a topic where people can share their own quizzes and/or discuss any quizzes they liked and/or share ideas and suggestions about future quizzes.
I have created a Dark Tower quiz here, and since some people scored low in that one, I created and easier version here. Any feedback/suggestions would be appreciated. Also looking forward to seeing yours! :)

[Squire]

That was a rough one! I must have changed about 7 or 8 answers, though I wished I hadn't changed the one about the low-men! And I guessed on #31. And 38! Nice going there, Costas!

[Squire]

I scored higher on your longer quiz!

[Becky]

Hmm, I took the first one, scored 75% on it because I kept over-thinking how specific an answer you were looking for ((view spoiler)[ Like the Odd/Odd's lane question. (hide spoiler)]). LOL (And I admit to misreading the question about what Mordred called Roland - thought it was asking what he DIDN'T call him. Oh well!)

I think that the question about Cuthbert's feelings is misleading though, because (view spoiler)[it was Roland who thought that Bert was jealous, but in reality he was scared that Roland was setting himself up for trouble. (hide spoiler)]

Anyway, still a good quiz. I made one a couple years ago: http://www.goodreads.com/quizzes/7-st...

I always take quizzes on GR after finishing a book,really like that feature & the idea behind this thread.At least we should be grateful that King has a lot of dedicated fans who take the time to add questions or trivia as there are many great books i have read which do not have any such option.

[Costas]

Wow Squire 38 out of 40. Awesome!

(view spoiler)[Yes many get the Odd Lane question wrong. You have to remember that the "'s" in the sign was painted on, so it wouldn't be an anagram of Dandelo.
I agree that fear was one of Cuthbert's underlying feelings, but jealousy was the most intense one. At least that's what I got from reading the book.

In hindsight I may have went a little too far with the "who did NOT" questions.
Thanks for your feedback! I took your quiz, but it seems I still have a lot to learn about Stephen King...

I always hated those types of questions on multiple guess tests, and the one about the cultural events events mentioned in the DT novels tripped me up. O well, I remembered a lot for having last the series over a year ago.

I have a King quizz in mind and I'll get around to it when I reread the book (probably this summer).

[Becky]

Costas, (view spoiler)[I did remember the s being added, actually. But my confusion was that the question wasn't really clear as to what you were looking for. Esp considering some of the other questions, I assumed you were looking for the exact way the sign appeared to Roland and Susanna. I think many people misunderstood that if they got it wrong. (hide spoiler)]

I'm surprised at how much I remembered as well... it's been a while since my last reread, and that was an audio book. I still think i should have done better though.

I admit that's one I changed once or twice because I wasn't even sure--each member of hi original kat-tet had their own feelings on the matter. But I ended up with the right answer, I guess.

[Becky]

Right. If the question was what did Roland think Cuthbert felt, then there's no question about it. But what Cuthbert actually felt was different. But, I could have just overthought it. It's been a couple years since I read it last.

[Costas]

(view spoiler)[I am pretty sure at some point Cuthbert admitted feeling that way. At any rate I changed the "scared" option, since many people got it wrong.
I also cleared the Dandello question a little. (hide spoiler)]
By the way did anyone take this quiz? I only got 1 out of 5 :/

[Becky]

I'm going to read them again soon, so I guess I'll see. Of course it's possible. I just feel like his primary concern over it was more about the toll it would take on the work they were doing, not his personal frustrations, if that makes sense.

[Squire]

I got 5/5. I took it awhile ago. I don't see where it stores the date you took it.

[Angie, Constant Reader]

oooh! quizzes! I'm in!!

[Dustin]

In the Dark Tower quiz, I scored 32 of 40 (80%, in 14 mins 52 secs.)

[Costas]

Well done everyone! I've seen a lot of people have taken my quizzes. I may make a Medium difficulty DT quiz some time.
Meanwhile I made a Shining quiz, now that I finished the book. You can find it here. The one someone else made with 30 questions is also pretty good.
All feedback is appreciated!

[Becky]

I took this one, and Question #9 is misleading, or at the very least confusing.

(view spoiler)[Question 9:
Which of the following areas are haunted?

- The kitchen
- The attic
- The playground
- The bathroom

I chose the bathroom, because it is haunted by the ghost who lives in 217 - the one that strangles Danny. The results say the correct answer is "The playground", which is also haunted, but differently - not by a specific "ghost" - so it's unclear what you mean by "haunted". Technically, the ENTIRE Overlook is haunted.

I don't think this question makes sense... sorry. Also, the question is worded so that it seems that there should be multiple answers, but you can only choose one. (hide spoiler)]

[Costas]

I meant (view spoiler)[areas which are inhabited by spirits/ghosts. By the bathroom, I meant the one where Wendy hides from Jack, I should have made that clear.
Danny mentions in the book that some areas are "safe". For instance, the kitchen is kept "pure" by Halloran's presence (hide spoiler)]
I'll fix the question, thanks for your input!

Thank you for sharing, Costas.

I took The Shining quiz, and scored 8 of 15 correct (53%, in 3 mins 12 secs.)
