Trivia

Is it just me, or has Daria Trivia not been updated like it was supposed to be?

The page I get claims it will be updated on the 14th. I seem to recall somewhere in the page saying it updates biweekly, so it makes sense.

Maybe they are actually spending the time on getting the questions right this time. We can always hope.

supposed

I just checked it and it has been updated as of today (Oct 13th).

A question: When you get your score this time around was it just out of five (score for this batch) or was it a total for both rounds?

No wait, how about this: Is it just me, or is the trivia quiz thingie being a complete bitch? I'm trying desperately to answer these blasted questions and it keeps on giving me the screen that you're only supposed to see at the end, when you've finished answering! *pout* I know I shouldn't bitch because I got a 5 first time around and that's what's showing up, but I wanted to enter again! Honestly!

Hey ho, I know what at least part of the problem is. It uses cookies to track who has played the game once. Apparently whoever setup the system didn't do it right.

It will only let you play once and never again. Disable Cookies and you can answer the new set of questions but the score doesn't accumulate. So unless they change something there is going to be a large set of people with scores of 5, and nothing higher.

On the plus side they are looking for new HTML developer so it might eventually get fixed before the end of the contest.

PS: Anyone else think that the questions are odd, one really annoying one then everything else is cake. The number of tattoos Trent has? The number of earrings Trent has? Methinks someone on that side is fixated.

I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but how many rounds of trivia have there been? I swear that I've only answered 3 rounds worth but it said that it's on round four. Did they skip a round or something?

No, apparently what happened is that someone bungled the cookie code in round 2, so nobody ever saw it, unless they were seeing it for the first time. So that means that we all probably have a 15 score right now. (I mean, jeez! Those questions are waaaay to easy.) I wonder what'll happen when 300 people are all tied at 100/100? ;-)

Actually, BECAUSE of the cookie code, I couldn't answer Round 3. It kept returning me to the results page of Round 2. I missed Round 1 though, and I have a total score of 10 now. *Damn*.. Well, maybe I'll get like third prize or something.

ps: any news about that CD-ROM yet?

We could make it a Daria convention at MTV studios...

But seriously, rich, did it say that your score was 15 after round 4? Because mine said 5, and I'd hate to think that anyone is getting screwed on this because of a bunch of knuckleheads at MTV don't know what they are doing.

Ok, I'm a little confused with all the rounds. Basically the site said it was round 4, but really there were only actually 3 right? Secondly, I'm short on space and I constantly clean out my temp folders, deleting cookies basically. So it says my score is 10, even though I took 3 and each time it said I had a perfect score.. I'm hoping they'll just realize that I entered the same email address and name when I did take the test.. errm.

Good question, but I bet that they just use the data the cookies give 'em-- there'd be too many entrants to keep track of individually. If it tells you 10, then that's probably the score it'll give you at the end. My advice would be to jealously guard those MTV cookies, and hope that the folks with higher scores have those inevitable windoze problems. ;-)

rich.

Quinn: People are so weird!

Daria: Some are weird. Some are just astonishingly self-centered and deceitful.
