I hate the romance novel questions in the never-ending book quiz

[Sarah]

I mean, really, how many people on GR are going to know what the name of Veronica and Sebastian's love child was?

[Valerie]

In a strange way, I think that the worse you do on the quiz, the better off you are... does anybody really want to be on the leader board???

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Me. I'm an trivia-game/puzzle obsessed person. I love crossword puzzles, Jeopardy, Trivial Pursuit, etc.
It's a sickness, really.

[Sarah]

I don't understand why you'd post questions on obscure books, Seth. Isn't the point to ask questions some people might actually be able to answer? I mean, you want it to be challenging but not impossible.

[The Crimson Fucker]

Jackie…. I agree 100% with you I love trivia games and puzzles… but I love them for a reason… I’m really obsessed with winning like seriously I have issues… but the never ending quiz well… as Seth said and I quote: ‘we need every possible book question that could exist on it’ TO HELL WITH THAT I ain't insane!!! I won’t play a game that I cannot win!

[Michelle]

I hate that I clicked on the wrong Bronte sister for the author of Wuthering Heights! Stupid stupid happy clicker!

Speaking of, do you skip questions or just answer them all as you go along?

In the novel Jerome Comes of Age by Theodore Glasgower III, which of the Brisbaine brothers had anal sex with a three-toed sloth on the seagoing vessel H.M.S. Killjoy?

A. Bippy
B. Drago
C. Felipe
D. Kato
E. All of the Above (While You Watched)

[Sarah]

I answer them all. A skipped question is still a wrong question, and if I guess, I have a 25% chance of getting it right.

[Michelle]

David, the answer is...C! Right?? Drago and Felipe look alike so I'm not sure.

Oops - I skipped a bunch of questions. I'm going to go back and take the quiz again because I don't feel like working today.

Booby, it was a trick question. Trick meaning I stole your wallet while you were thinking of the answer.

[Michelle]

Damn you! How am I supposed to get on the plane without ID?

[The Crimson Fucker]

Ermm, apparently Seth is having some technical issues and we can’t communicate thru regular messages here dude: a few weeks ago I ask somebody how the hell he knows the answer of so many questions??? And what he said was this: sometimes I don’t even look at them and just click around… that got me thinking I mean this guy is smart as hell he has one of the highest scores… and he is not even guessing he is just clicking like a maniac… so I decided that when I have nothing better to do I’ll just click on them… so far it don’t seem to work for me… but is fun to click around… especially if you always as caffeinated as I am =P

[The Crimson Fucker]

It was never fun for me… you cannot win… what’s the point? But what ruined for you?

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

It's a quagmire, designed to make you waste your time. It's the Terrible Tedium, GoodReads style.

[Emma]

You know whats the worst? The majority of the questions are either about Twilight or Harry Potter.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Forget about it, Seth. It's Chinatown.

[The Crimson Fucker]

Jackie, BRILLIANT!!! GUAHAHAHAH now I can see Seth walking away from it =P

Dude I don’t get it how are you supposed to show how smart you are with the quiz if people don’t read it??? I had my 2 Silmarillion question hopping to make somebody read it over how hardcore it sounded… and I didn’t succeed… =)

[The Crimson Fucker]

Seth, stop bitching and become the solution… what exactly is your idea of a perfect never ending quiz???

[The Crimson Fucker]

So, why don’t you proposed an option where you will only get the top rated questions??? Or from the top rated question makers?? That way questions that sux will never reach you!

[Emma]

Or not having to skip 6000 questions to get to one about a book I've actually read!

[The Crimson Fucker]

Emma, the option trivia about my books, i know it dont work well... if they dont have questions about your books i think you should add them yourself!

[The Crimson Fucker]

WAIT A SECOND!!! Why am I defending the never ending quiz??? I fucking hate it!!! fuck this I say burn it!!! burn it to the ground!!!

[Emma]

True. I've tried that button, and it sucks.

[The Crimson Fucker]

Dude there were 33… and I agree with you when I used to read it all those question about the time traveler wife and harry potter used to annoy me.

[Emma]

Sadly, I've actually read the fucking awful book that is Twilight. *shudders.*

[Emma]

50 year old women read this book, I think I can read Twilight and slip by thank you very much.

[The Crimson Fucker]

Dude, the questions are like books… I’m pretty sure that if you go to any bookstore there is more crap that good books… same with the never ending quiz, and I’m with you, a bunch of questions on the same subject are not going to make anybody have fun… but I do have fun clicking like a maniac… remember I’m borderline obsessive compulsive =P I’m trying to find out if there is an algorithm that will allow me to correctly answer most of the questions but that’s just me…

[The Crimson Fucker]

Seth today I went to get a shape up… and when the barber started to do his job the Fire department shows up outside the barbershop and they take out their hoses and shit… and everybody start running to see what’s going on… and when my barber comes back he like… stupid fire department all they want is show off in front of the girls with their big hoses and all that water wasted… I could put down that fire with 2 buckets of water… it was fun =)

[The Crimson Fucker]

Dude… and if it burns going in imagine going out… I pity you dude!!

[The Crimson Fucker]

Seth do you play any online game at all?

[Dave]

Jackie, why does my update feed say you just took the quiz? You can't stand having me above you on the leaderboard can you?

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I can't resist when a question I know the answer to shows up on my homepage as "a question one of my friends liked", or something like that.

I just answer that one question, though. I'm cherrypicking. I'm avoiding the Bleak House narrator question, being a Dicken's hater.

[Dave]

I smiled smugly as I answered that one correctly.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I'm so happy for you, Dave.

[Nikki]

I am way behind the times. I just recently discovered the never-ending quiz. Only had one Harry Potter question, no Twilight questions and very few romance questions. It must have been a good streak! I'm quiz obsessed though, so I'll keep playing until I get good and sick of it. I haven't submitted any of my own questions, and I'm not sure I want to. It would make me feel bad to have a bunch of people say they don't like my questions. It's a fun thing to do between books and while husband is playing wii anyway...

[The Crimson Fucker]

Lol, I don’t read the questions people... Alfonso’s latest combination

a a b c c d x 5 = 7 wins not a good one i'ma try some new ones tonight

[The Crimson Fucker]

I use 7 answer combinations that I multiply for 5... I’m looking for one that will give me a 60% correct answer ratio...

[The Crimson Fucker]

Didn't work Montambo... i went down .1%

[The Crimson Fucker]

There is always a pattern Montambo.... ALWAYS you'd be surprised of how predictable most things are... so far this is my best one try this:

d d a b d c d x 5

[The Crimson Fucker]

Montambo I need to leave =P but before I do that… how can you enjoy a game where you cannot win??? I do not understand… I love jeopardy but only because I usually kick the ass of whoever is watching I with me (except for Tom that man is like a walking encyclopedia of thimgs that are actually useful!!) why do people enjoy this game?? If they can’t win??? Why??????
