Yeah that's right Sil and Mojo kept going

KNOWLEDGE HALL TWO: "THE BOOKS"

(scroll down to see the second hall - formatting could and may be improved, we'll see)

Also note, these ones are 2 points per question. There was a sorta kinda consensus on that as i) that's how it was for the intermediate hall on old plaza and ii) why not, but then I took the Hobbit Part 1 quiz and got precisely

1
out of 10 so that decided that.

good luck

Well, that one was a little harder. It didn’t help that I had not read The Hobbit in quite some time.

Thanks for the new quiz!

ABOUT THE POINTS

Until Tara or Narv saves us, you will see 2 notifications, as right now it only goes up to 10, so please don't think it's a mistake :)

Edit:
Sil saved our sanity and added more <3

Hey! Great, this is exciting. It also helped that I very recently finished The Hobbit.

Whoo! I'm finally caught up on the Halls of Knowledge quizzes. Glad I had my copy of the Hobbit easily accessible.

This was fun. Of course, I needed my book with me to answer most of the questions, but it is enjoyable rediscovering these facts. :grin:

Should I do it over, @Winddancer ?

@Aodh Hammerhelm and @Ercassie let me know here when you have done it.

Anyone else who has not gotten points, just post here that you didn't, dont do the test again as well, please.

I also did the two tests. I think I got points for the first one? But not the second test. Thanks!

First Second Hall test was done, tribute and etc all with no problems, some while ago.
Second one now re-done. Got the same questions wrong I think though even on a re-do. Really should actually re-read the book some time :googly:
Thanks @Winddancer :thumbs:

Ok thanks for trying again @Ercassie

@Aodh Hammerhelm no need for you to redo it just yet, it's obviously not sending it through.

@Tyrion Lannister noted yours as well.

All please keep posting if you did it but didnt receive points! But dont redo the tests just yet, have passed it on to Narv and Tara and Sil.

Welcome!

And guys, while it does take someone to be on to give the points, it should never take more than 12 or so hours for you to get your points, so if at any time it goes past that, speak up! Please :)

I think I may have received points twice for the most recent quiz. Once without a notification and once with the notification this morning. Unless I’m just really bad at doing math, which is a very strong possibility.

The new one is meant to give double the points for correct answers and as far as I can see you were only awarded them once. If I am mistaken, then enjoy your points as we have no way of taking them back :P

All the fun! I do treat these as kind of an open book type of a quiz even though it's only been a few months since I last read the Hobbit.

There are some deep cuts in these questions. Very nice!

I noticed that upon completing this quiz, there's an option to "See previous responses", which I don't recall from any of the others. It shows the usernames of everyone who has taken the quiz so far as well as the percentage of answers given to each multiple choice question (fortunately, it does not display email addresses). I assume this is unintentional but thought it worth mentioning as a potential privacy issue.

Thanks for the heads up, though likely not that big of an issue if you cant see the addresses.
