Re: Moving our quizzes

I took the Time Travel quiz and found some errors.

Question #4 has broken code.

The superscript in #5 is broken.

Questions 6, 10, and 15 have <> instead of [].

Question #14 has two correct answers: a and b. It seems to me that b is the more correct answer as the question dealt with the precession of time.

Sorry, I got my notes mixed up. For question #4, the "correct" answer right now is:

"Clocks move faster on the surface of the Earth than aboard a flying airplane"

This should be reversed. Clocks tick slower on Earth compared to an airplane.

Re: Moving our quizzes

Endangered Species quiz:

Q2: According to this chart by the IUCN, there are over 2000 animal species listed as endangered. 2007 IUCN Red List &ndash; Summary Statistics for Globally Threatened Species

Q3: According to the US FWS, 138 species of fish are listed as threatened or endangered. The list of species for the US from Mongabay is 883.
Sources:
TESS : Threatened & Endangered Species System
List of Freshwater Fishes for USA (contiguous states)

Q6: I recommend removing "because" for every choice.

The rest seems good.

Re: Moving our quizzes

I haven't fixed those yet, Freezy, but I have managed to tweak the quiz script so images are now being shown (took me three hours...I didn't write that script so I needed to dig deep to isolate a stray reference to a missing variable).

I still need help from people: Go here and take a quiz, and report bugs in this thread:

Re: Moving our quizzes

Took solar system quiz.

question 16:
option c,
Quote:
1912 by Clyde Tombaugh
should be 1930.

question 9:
Quote:
Which is the smallest planet in the Solar system?
quiz didn't get the news about Pluto's demotion
Correct answer would be Mercury.


Once again, I liked the quiz.
