Updated comments:
-) I was surprised to see the first 5 quiz-takers to get the same score  :o
-) btw, if you haven't figured it out yet, question 20 doesn't actually count  :P
-) Am thinking about invalidating #6 because it's hard to understand what it means to "instantly" kill  :-\
-) Am working on a chart of some sort to represent the score results  :D
-) Uhm, finished the chart...in QBASIC but can't get a screenie  :(  - will redo in something else...
-) After reviewing the results, I must say it's a rather well-made quiz seeing that people missed different questions rather evenly - of course some questions were missed by many people and two questions no one missed (5 and 10).

EDIT 2/19/2007 - 11:32 EST:
Question 17 edited from "game mode" to "game style"

Answers:
Sorry to have kept you all waiting...  I just wanted to make sure nobody's still going to take this for sure - and I'm pretty sure now.  As of this point, I will no longer accept anyone's answers (for obvious reasons).  Also, don't try to justify your answers for #6 - I'm going to make it not count (scores may be reupdated for this correction if I'm not too lazy).  Have fun:

q11 killed me, as well as the last one
when will the answers/scores known?

[Slayer DZ]

thank you Boogie for one correct answer! hahahaha, I'm just jokin, very nice quiz

[Graham]

Hmm guess I'll try it out... expect a pm soon my good man!

[echo_trail]

Hmm guess I'll try it out... expect a pm soon my good man!

hey, this is actually pretty awesome. At first I was like, "Dude, you're gonna recieve like a million pm's".. But then again, there's quite alot of questions. I think it's brilliant.
I'll send a pm soon.
*Applauded*

[xtishereb]

Some of these questions have different answers depending on what version you play, either from changes or other modifications.
Also, you can play any game mode on any map. Really. Try playing HTF on a DM map, it's a lot of fun.
Anyway, I took it. Some questions were a little obscure.

your answer:

version 1.3.1 with all default settings!

and about the ctf maps - only some of them are actually ctf maps... the fact that u can play ctf on any map doesn't change anything.  Also, i believe u cannot actually play ctf on any map b.c they don't have flags... unless u play r/s in which case u only have to kill enemies.  btw, gj xtishereb - u currently hold the highest score!

[Graham]

Not even gonna tell me my score?

[I_AM_GOD]

0.0 14/20... I FAIL! T.T

[Lord Frunkamunch]

20)  How many noobs does it take to screw in a light bulb?

2; 1 to screw it in and the other to accuse him of hacking because he sucked too badly to do it himself.

[SDFilm]

Had a go, but I might have got some wrong as I didn't go and conferm them all, so it was a fair test and because I need to quickly go off to media lesson now....

[NinjaGimp369]

Did it, took me about 1h 30m. (1h 29m was thinking, 1 minute answering).

[xurich]

I had to think for a few minutes on some of them. Cool quiz, but I'm sure I missed quite a few.

[ultraman]

Booyah! I rule ^___________________^

[Snipufin]

I think I got pretty good. The stat gun question was hard. Can anyone PM me the answer?

[FliesLikeABrick]

Wow I don't know the answers to most of these questions, good choices

[Graham]

Seriously I don't want to know my score.... I forgot I even took the quiz...

[zyxstand]

haha, i'm thinking about invalidating #6...  I'll think it through later

btw (esp †), everyone's scores are displayed at the end of the quiz - uhm, i just signed on today and received 9 pm's...of quizzes...  so that should be updated in few mins

[Graham]

Woohoo 13

[ultraman]

Sif NinjaGimp got the same score as me >_<

[xurich]

Haha, I had hoped to score at least somewhere in the double digits!

[Unlucky XIII]

I feel I didn't go horribly well, but oh well. Took part, nice questions!

EDIT: Heh, not as horribly badly as I predicted.

[zyxstand]

haha u13 - u got the ...median/mode?  lol another 13/19
*scores updated*

[Mr. Domino]

I probably should have played the game and looked up the answers I could, but that would be cheating. Also, too much time for a silly quiz. I am curious to see what some of those answers are and which ones are right and wrong. When will the results be given?

[John Brooks]

Shit, I got 5\15.

[Zamorak]

IIRC, number 14 does not have the correct answer.

[Drakor]

Yay. sweet quizz  ... I'd ask if You were gonna take it- but that'd be cheating now wouldnt it? 

[NinjaGimp369]

WTFZOR!? 17/19??? How'd i get so high?

[echo_trail]

Oh, I scored horribly bad! Actually the only one worse than me was jrgp.. Man, and I was like, "Yeah, it probably didn't do flawlessly, but I think I nailed some of the hard ones!" Not quite..

[dw_reality]

Just finished.

[Zamorak]

Do grenades count as weapons?

Also does stationary gun?

[NinjaGimp369]

I think they're only asking for the guns in da question... OR, maybe i don't know what your talking about.

[zyxstand]

no, NG, grenades and anything of the like are weapons......  that's why you got that one wrong :-P
and zamorak, how come u think 14 dun have the right answer... did u notice the word "about"?  that might help...

[iDante]

lol:
19=A+
18=A
17=A-
16=B+
15=B
14=B-
13=C+
12=C
11=C-
10=D
<10=F

WOO I GOT A C+...

[T-Bone]

Sorry i just realized what i posted gave away an answer, Sweet Quiz though, i feel pretty good with a 13/19

[Zamorak]

Ahh 17/19..



SOLDAT IS MY LYFE.

[zyxstand]

lol you're taking it a bit too serious me thinks Zamorak... (u got it)... woot new tied scores

[NinjaGimp369]

no, NG, grenades and anything of the like are weapons......  that's why you got that one wrong :-P
and zamorak, how come u think 14 dun have the right answer... did u notice the word "about"?  that might help...

ohh damn, that's the one i got wrong aswell as the last one i fink... Argh, i should've known...

[a-4-year-old]

some of those questions are pretty obscure, i thought it would end with some crap like "How many pixels tall is a soldat?" ill take it eventually, this is totally awesome!

[zyxstand]

Surprisingly you missed one of the easier questions as well (not the last one)...  It's just a silly quiz - nothing to kill yourself over.

I was ThinkinG about it, but figured that'd be too blatant...  Though I have to admit the question was a bit out there...  Every good quiz needs one of those though

[NinjaGimp369]

Which question was it?

[Protoman]

I still cant figure this out completely!!!

[TDL]

I am shamed by my results

[Xdada]

Well the last question was the hardest!
But I still liked 'em...

[Micomator]

I don;t see what I could have gotten wrong. Can you PM me with the questions I got wrong and maybe the correct answers. I checked every question in-game. Theres no way I can be wrong.

[NinjaGimp369]

This Quiz was designed for mere fun - plz don't go into the actual game and test for the answers.  Nothing at all is at stake if you don't know the answers (some questions are insanely hard)

...

[Micomator]

by 'in-game' I obviously meant 'not in game'. God you people are stupid.

[sakae]

dammit you know how hard the questions about the bonuses was for a realistc player? if you dont know then I will tell you.. it was hard....

lol you checked release date "in-game" too?

[zyxstand]

hmm, i'm thinking about appending a sequel of some sort...  with hard questions....... rly... hard  =P
like i said i'm only thinking about it - don't be surprised if nothing happens...

[Xdada]

I don;t see what I could have gotten wrong. Can you PM me with the questions I got wrong and maybe the correct answers. I checked every question in-game. Theres no way I can be wrong.

Same here (I checked some of them to be sure), could you also send me a PM with the questions, I answered wrong (you don't have to send the answers if they are too confidential/secret), just being curious about my mistakes...

I'm sorry, I checked your answers to make sure and the ones you got wrong you simply got wrong...except for one where you put the wrong letter but the right response - and i go by the letter.
I hope you're not doubting my ability to give a valid quiz...  answers will come - I still get people's responses every other day or so, so I see that not everyone has taken it yet!

[Poke Master]

I took it.  and I think I got about 15+  (I hope)

medikit
berserk
