[Issue 60] [Contest] Nawledge

[Remaine 4,687]

...hmm, back for a short spell. That's pretty cool, if I do say myself.

 

Anyways, welcome to the Nawledge contest thread! This contest isn't new to you readers; in fact, I have previously hosted three previous batches in the form of "So... you think you know a lot about Tanki Online?" - that name is tacky, however, so I opted to go much more hipster. You're welcome.

 

This batch is simply going to be a wall of questions, no sections and that; it's got a bit of maths in there, some general Tanki Online nawledge questions, and some subjectivity, you know the deal. However, the questions will not offer more than 2 marks; there are only so many hours in the day.

 

Not gonna lie to you guys, this will most likely be the final batch - however, it isn't the hardest of the four, so don't fret! However, it does have more questions than the other three batches. will continue these trivia contests in the future, and has already begun to do so, in his contest, notable for its exaggerated name "The Biggest, Meanest Quiz Ever!" - I bet he'll go easy on you nugs though; he is one of you, after all.

 

Loyal readers know what to expect at this point, but for our newbies:

• The form below will consist of 42 questions that are to be answered, with 34 1-mark questions and 8 2-mark questions.
• You are free to use tools such as the Wiki, V-LOGs and the forum to help you - you're going to need them.
• Feel free to skip ones that stump you, since you do not need full marks to win. However, this should speak for itself, but bearing in mind the common sense of some people here, I'll say it anyway: you're probably going to want to answer all of them.
• Quite simple; the users with the top marks will win! I will be crediting the highest-scoring 10 people for their efforts, and as for the rest of you, refer to this: 

• In the case of identical scores up top, time will come into play - although it isn't as important, it still matters, to some extent, unfortunately.

Regarding marks:

• For 2 mark questions, you're going to want to make 2 points, or a clear comparison, to receive maximum credit.
• The quality of your answer is massively important when it comes to these questions - if you think you're being too detailed, you're not! In certain questions, just like the current exams in real life, key words and phrases may be required to get the mark. You want to be explicit in your tone. Write whatever you think is relevant though, you may very well get credited for it! Don't jump on a tangent, otherwise you're on your way to zero marks.
• For questions involving numbers, you've got to show your working out. Just posting the answer gets you one mark.

Regarding boundaries:

 

KING - 50/50 

A* - 45/50 

A - 38/50

 B - 31/50 

C - 24/50 

D - 17/50 

E - 10/50 

 

Boundaries that those in education will recognise, give or take - I can forgive the generally low grades for the third batch, since the questions were very difficult, but if you are dedicated to this game, and you don't get at least a B in this variant, you need to brush up on your knowledge. That's my challenge to you, if anything. Get at least a B - do yourself proud, and more importantly, me. This batch is honestly not that difficult.

 

Regarding prizes:

 

Let's not sugarcoat it here, you guys want the numbers. Fair enough, I guess.

 

1st place = 40,000 crystals

2nd place = 35,000 crystals

3rd and 4th place = 30,000 crystals

5-10th place = 10,000 crystals

 

However, if the scores are reminiscent of the third batch, I will have no remorse in cutting the rewards by as much as 50%. If you're going to do it, do it well, people. I wish there was a way I could punish the lowest scorer - but alas, it isn't to be.

 

Regarding time:

 

You have until the 20th of January to do this from right when you see this - that should be enough time for you.

I would set a time for the form to open, but I already know I'm gonna forget to open it.

 

Regarding me:

 

Do not contact me on Skype or PM about this - I will blank you. Everything you need to know has been explained, so you're good to go. 

 

Regarding the form:

 

You will need a Google account to answer these questions.

And with that, good luck!

Quick question-what does the question about F.O.R.K mean to ask? It is confusing.

[Remaine 4,687]

^ his combination.

 

Should probably mention that you cannot discuss answers here.

[TTK_229 1,080]

I had to re-input this four times, because it would refresh and delete my answers. :((

Submitted all but one answer.

[Ninja 10,468]

There are two newspaper articles both showing different days for the first kits...

[Jwimmer 2,835]

Is there any way to save your answers? This is next to impossible to do in 1 sitting, and its hard to not close down my broswer...

[Remaine 4,687]

I guess that is the limitation of Google Forms.

 

http://prntscr.com/dso2ds - I find this is an effective way.

Literally thousands of people have asked Google for this feature, nothings happened. The only way is if the form owner allows you to edit submissions then you could submit it incomplete and come back later.

 

For contests this obviously defies the objective.

Can I make up for it with some potato soup?

[Remaine 4,687]

You didn't do that, in fairness; just something I forgot to mention.

I would enter, but I noticed this a little late :(

 

Good luck to everyone else.

[GeeVuh 1,647]

Geez, this is way hard... xD too late anyway, peeps probz already finished

[stanzhang 3,291]

Way too hard I was going to answer only like 50% on the questions, I need to do this another day.

[Remaine 4,687]

It's not too late - it's only based on time if the scores are even. At this moment in time, there aren't that many entrants, as people need to find the time to do it.

 

Give it a go, people.

Lol. Remult made a Tai Lopez reference at the beginning of the quiz.
