  1. Yay! (I feel lucky, as I got really stuck on the Iran one, and was about to give up when I somehow stumbled upon the answer) Thx for making the quiz. Look forward to attempting any future quizzes :P.

    I will not go on about my point after this. I just want to add: I definitely appreciate the work you and other volunteers are doing running the TTC. I think you guys do a great job. So thank you. If the TTC was delayed or didn't happen one week, I wouldn't complain, as I know you guys are volunteers. And I don't expect things to be perfect. And if there was a hard/'trick' question, then I won't complain, as if you 'fall for the trick'/couldn't work out the answer, then you have 'lost' fairly. However, I made my comment just because I personally think that that particular question/clue was ambiguous, and I don't think ambiguous things are fair. You can't 'outsmart' something ambiguous, as if it is ambiguous it means that there are multiple answers which could be viewed as equally potentially correct. You could pick a 'right' answer, and yet get it 'wrong', just based on the subjective viewpoint of the question setter, when objectively, there could be multiple 'right' answers.

    The meaning of 'only' is about it being one thing and nothing else. I do not think that the description of 'for melee, as well as short-medium range' can be definitively interpreted as just meaning 'only for melee' with the 'as well as short-medium range' as a 'condition'. I think it could validly be read as meaning that it is for both ranges, therefore making that module type not 'only' for melee. I did note that the other descrition used 'mostly', so was not 'only' melee either, but to me, this suggests more of an emphasis upon 'melee', and hence I think of it as a more suitable answer. You could say that you should look at the letters and grid, but there having been a mistake on one of the other questions (which you've already admitted to) means that there is a loss of credibility. How can we have the same expectation that the clues and grid match up, when there has already been a mistake. I do not mind if something is hard. However, there is a distinction between something that is 'hard', and something that is ambiguous. If two meanings can be construed, then I do not view that as a fair question/clue. And after last week's ambiguity between 'rare' and 'special' modules, which meant that I got last week's wrong too, I am disappinted by the TTC.

    Phew! Glad someone else thinks it's wrong. With that, and the other one, I was confused, and so I didn't enter as fast :(.

    So noone else thinks that number 4 should be 6 letters not 7? I guess I must have got it wrong. I just couldn't think what it was then.

    I think there's 2 mistakes. At least, the only answers I could think of didn't match the number of letters. I entered with them anyway. Idk if I've got it wrong, or it's a trick question or a mistake.

    Great. I was fast enough, but made a mistake :(. I missed the answer when I checked the wiki :rolleyes:. Oh well.
  8. I've entered. I hope I got them right :ph34r:.

    [Interactive story] 'Real Life' Tanki

    (I mean, google the point, and the first few links that come up basically use the same words/phrasing you used) Anyway, don't quite get why you're 'bothered' about this. What I put is fine, and the other spelling is also fine. So no big deal.

    [Interactive story] 'Real Life' Tanki

    (Your phrasing seems very... familiar :lol: :rolleyes:) Anyway, the 'Oxford English Dictionary' I have at home actually has 'accidently' in it (and not 'accidentally'), and I've seen newspapers using either. So I don't see it as an issue. (I mean, I trust the dictionary :P). Glad you liked my story :).

    [Interactive story] 'Real Life' Tanki

    Thx :). (I don't think my story is actually similar to the newspaper one. Only in the way of it also being an 'interactive' story. But interactive stories, where the reader is part of the story, and can choose different options, are a known story format. I have a few books in that format, and have written my own stories in that format before, which is why I thought of writing one related to Tanki. And when I was writing mine, I didn't know there was going to be one in the newspaper.)

    [Interactive story] 'Real Life' Tanki

    Ah ok, I get you. (It wasn't clear to me exactly what you meant, so thx for explaining :)) Thx. :) Well, I didn't intend it to have any depth at all. Just meant to be silly and random :P. Anyway, thx :).

    [Interactive story] 'Real Life' Tanki

    Sorry that I made a sorta fuss about it. I think I was just like, 'Noooo, I didn't make spelling/grammar errors!' D: I mean, my actual story content might not be that great, but I at least want to have used correct spelling/grammar etc. I knew someone would mention that. I actually started writing my story last week, the day after I finished my first article, which was a couple of days before the newspaper was published. If I knew there was going to be an interactive story in the newspaper, I wouldn't have written one myself. I only decided to post mine as I'd already spent time on it, and it took me a while to do the pictures (Ik they're not great, but I'm not very good at drawing). Ok, I'm taking this a bit seriously, but I just hate if people think I've 'copied' an idea when I actually haven't. It is just an unlucky coincidence <_< :(.
