    Never read it.


    Not ever read anything by Arthur C Clarke but I'd heard of that book and a quick check confirmed my suspicions

    People were saying how hard that last question was, took my like 15 seconds!! The exact question Jimbo put up, copied and pasted into google was the second one down! It took you to the triva page on IMBD lol. I couldn't believe my luck!

    Jon [face_shhh] You don't use Google, you use your superior knowledge. Or at least I do [face_whistling]

    That is why I am shocked people said it was hard.
    Second result from a copy and pasted question into google.
    This one isn't hard either but things will start to pick up and you will start to drop like flies!

    Ah well, there's me out, at least I wasn't the only one to get it wrong. There was me thinking that googling the whole question wouldn't actually help :rolleyes:.

    My point exactly


    These quizzes are fun, but it's often too easy to get the answers with the internet available, and people are eliminated because of not answering rather then not actually knowing

    It is hard to therefore claim victory in these quizzes due to superior knowledge.



    Although in this case more people got it wrng then didn't answer.

    The only way to have a knowledge-based internet quiz is with the use of pictures, sound clips, and video clips. Can't google them :p

    But this is all just for fun :)

    Of course.

    Just bugs me when people boast about their superiority on winning or how much smarter they are then others, when they most likely used the internet to help them, and a lot of people failed because of not answering.
    Even if it's done as a joke, it's not overly amusing.


    But it's fun to learn answers you may not have known before, like in the QI thread.
    Or the previous question here, which I didn't know.

    I am trying to outwit google and wikipedia but believe me, it is not easy.
    And not this early in the game anyway.

    But I may have to do a few picture or sound questions to eliminate a few people.

    I would also like to believe I COULD do a game where people would rely on knowledge alone but I seriously doubt that people would not use google.

    I'd be out if it wasn't for Google. Unless we're asking questions on Arnie films.. I don't have a clue about some silly cops in Detroit compared to the Governator!

    Oh and Hunkyevil should get an award for the content of his PM's.
    He is one funny guy.

    And Ramble should get an award for his PM's subject titles which are NOT suitable for reposting here. LOL
