P.S. The winner at the end of the month gets... uhm... let's see...! :razz:

Urgh, I hate maths.
Decided I'll have a go, anyway.. but it's telling me I've already played for today O_o I've only played Saffy's iSketchForum one.. O_o

I guess that's coz you haven't registered for this one. Or, I guess you need to sign out of Saffy's and then sign in into mine...

P.S. The winner at the end of the month gets... uhm... let's see...! :razz:
...your screen name :twisted:

I think I will try this log-in-log-out routine sometime in the morning tomorrow... I am all sleeeeepy now...

The log-out-log-in routine didn't work for me. When I tried logging in, it said Invalid User/Password :s

It does that for me as well.

Me too. If anyone finds a way around this (without having to create a new account please post :) )

I've managed to log in, but it won't let me play.

I just clicked the above link to the Maths DailyTrivia while signed in to the other DailyTrivia currently run by Fender.

Not yet! You have already played today! Try again tomorrow!

I guess this means we can't play in both tourneys in the same day :( That sucks.

Edit: Also I can't post a comment :s

Yeah I think we either need to make another account to play both, or.. I dunno. It's a bit odd you can't play both in one day.. :s

That's odd, 'cause I know for sure that AJ is part of two different challenges that she plays daily. It allows her to play no problem.

Yeah, I played both Saff's and mine today... It should allow you. You have to register... Try adding my number in that small box. Add Tourney #89542 to my list. It should work.

Are calculators allowed? :p

Yeah, of course... In fact, you better have one. Coz I guess some questions will be too mathy n stuff... We'll know tomorrow!

Small box? How do you do that?

It's science too! You should've called it the OoooOOoooOOoooO quiz

Small box? How do you do that?
Go to the Maths quiz page, log out, then click on Create a New Account (or something along those words). You need to fill in the form again but you can use exactly the same Username, Password and email address as in the other quiz.

Ah, I see. Thanks Birdy.

I thought that means registering a completely new account, which is against the rules of Daily Trivia. I guess it doesn't.

lol I had to throw in a few Science quizzes, as they can't exist without Maths... lol... just for a variety. Physics is an application of Maths. Chem needs Maths too. Astro has a LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT of Physics and Maths in it... :biggrin: Anyway, we have Maths on 4 days, and Science on 3 days.

...your screen name :twisted:

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Lol.. iSuck. :embarrassed:
Ah well, I did only get a C in GCSE maths.. so I shouldn't be expecting good results here, lol.

awww c'mon I hate it when people underestimate themselves. You've got the potential to succeed... you just don't want to! You can do it, Mrs Nerdy!

Lol, you should be a cheerleader... :P

Honestly, seriously.. some people can just *manage* maths.. I've never been one of those people :(

Edit: La la laaa...

hmm.. LB is an "only"-child...

LOL... hahahhahahaa AJ? I've heard of this person b4... haven't seen her on iSketchforums though... or have I? HmmMMmMmmMmMmMMmmMmm...

bb's not my mother's son lol... he's bb, the bb bb!

EDIT: No, bb... You know I have an irritating elder sister! :razz::sad: ugh girls... :mad: I'm an only son, though... with loads of brothers. :biggrin:

awww you didn't have to delete that part of the message... It was niceeeeee lolz. :sad:

I guess so, although I didn't.

I don't think you have to log in and out once you've put the maths quiz in...

That's odd, 'cause I know for sure that AJ is part of two different challenges that she plays daily. It allows her to play no problem.
That explains why Sparrow asked me how to do that on the iSketch trivia thingamabobby! I thought that was a random shout out :P

LOL... hahahhahahaa AJ? I've heard of this person b4... haven't seen her on iSketchforums though... or have I? HmmMMmMmmMmMmMMmmMmm...
Orly? You've heard of her before huh? :twisted:

/me clicks and joins the dorky fun.
I'm good at the maths ones (hence my rather high percentage of "correct answers" if you check out my Funtrivia profile - although I am not AJ if you search me on FT) the only thing that worries me is the speed thing - I'm so out practice cos I'm not actually studying maths anymore, just the teaching bit now :razz:

Interesting quiz.. so much Sci in Maths...

I got the Cinderella question wrong :embarrassed:

Cinderella in Maths!?!?!?!?!?!??? LOLLLL WHHHATTTT?

The sad part is... The Maths question pool only has a total of 659 questions... They'll be exhausted soon, and it won't be long before we have repeats. :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

I got the cinderella question.. xD And I got it right...xDDD

lol I'll play this later.

Did anyone else think that Cinderella question from yesterday was really out of place? lol. Why can't all maths questions be that easy? XD And I can't believe I got more right than AJ did. lmao

Edit: Although I'm sure for today 3/10 will be easy for her to beat -_-

Haha I got the question, "Which number comes between four and six and is also the value of a Nickel?"
Do our cousins across the pond really need the second part of that question to get it right? :eek:

lol! I got that question too. XD
One of the three that I actually got right.. heh.

Lol capt.. i got that one too... (the second part confused me but anyway)

Lolol. I took ages to do it.. and only got 2? wasn't it. xDDD eh. Maths sucks :P All the stuff they're asking is the smelly stuff. not proper nice maths ;)

like 1+1... :D

Pi O'Clock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

This thread needs to be sticky-fied to the top like the other quiz XD

/me hopes that LoveMaths didn't get the easy 'Lakh' question.. :twisted:

Sorry, I didn't play yesterday. A lakh is a hundred thousand. Yeah, this and the other weekly Maths quiz need to be 'stickified', but I don't know how to do that...

Ask a mod :) or admin.
Preferably in PM, I guess, 'cause I don't think any of them have been reading this thread.

From what I can see ILoveMaths07 has set the questions so we all get the same questions everyday. That's ok so doesn't bother me at all. But the maths questions are seriously taking the mick.
Because you've seleced "Maths" as the topic that day what FT has done, possibly by default, is it has search all questions on FT which requires numbers as answers or asks about the number of something... these, afaik are not the normal maths questions.

If you play FT regularly or have browsed their website, you'd have seen that there are questions where they tell you to integrate, diffeerentiate, solve things, work out equations, factorise and use all sorts of algebra. These are the maths questions I'd like to see because right now it just feels like dodgy general knowledge to me. Just my opinion. That said, I still enjoy these quizzes :razz:

Yeah some of them aren't too mathsy but most of them require some mathematical knowledge. Does the winner at the end of the month get to choose the next month's categories?
afaik are not the normal maths questions.
What on earth does that mean?? :eek:

LOL I thought you rocked at English, Capt_Sparrow, and you don't know what afalk means? Umm... Guess what... I don't know either! :razz: :razz:

Well, while defining the custom category, Maths, I had to type in "Maths" and "Math" in the search box. And I got all sorts of quizzes, from calculus and probability and statistics to something as simple as Numbers for Kids. I did not select questions related to both Maths and Baseball, i.e. I tried to ensure that all questions on the quiz are from the Maths sub-category in Sci/Tech. So don't worry... I got a really mathy question the other day. It's probably a matter of luck... We've been getting the kiddy ones until now. We'll get the mathy ones soon. If this is still the case, I'll get rid of certain categories that may seem too simple.

And, no... All of us do NOT get the SAME questions; a couple of questions are different for all of us.

LOL I thought you rocked at English, Capt_Sparrow, and you don't know what afalk means? Umm... Guess what... I don't know either! :razz: :razz:
As far as I know, afaik is not in the dictionary ;)

It's afalk, not afaik. Consult your dictionary again.

It's afalk, not afaik. Consult your dictionary again.
AJ wrote afaik, not afalk. And look at my previous post again ;)

lol roflmao. It's an abbreviation for 'As Far As I Know'. :razz:

Only Aj is silly enough to do this to us!
And she says she hates stuff like text speak. This is no better :P

Hahaha, you nutters! :twisted: Funnily enough I was gonna say "...as far as I know (afaik)..." in case you lot wouldn't know. Any no, nerdy, it's not really text chat, it's an abbreviation. You guys might be asked that in some of the quizzes too ;)

They ask what brb, afk, afaik, ttyl and so on mean; you're welcome :razz:

I have to say, this is the best daily challenge I've taken part in thus far.

Hahaha, you nutters! :twisted: Funnily enough I was gonna say "...as far as I know (afaik)..." in case you lot wouldn't know. Any no, nerdy, it's not really text chat, it's an abbreviation. You guys might be asked that in some of the quizzes too ;)
Or they might ask, "What's afaik an example of?" and the answer would be Acronym ;)

The Cinderella question and the Nickel one were both from 'Numbers for Kids', I guess... lol.
I'd consider AFAIK to be more of an abbreviation than an acronym, unless you decide to pronounce it as A-FAKE.
Yeah, I've seen repeats, too... :cry::cry::cry:

I'd consider AFAIK to be more of an abbreviation than an acronym, unless you decide to pronounce it as A-FAKE.
Well it is an abbreviation in the sense that it is a shortened form of "as far as I know" but because it uses the first letter of each word, it is also an acronym. You don't have to say it like a word for it to be an acronym, e.g. BBC (bee-bee-see) is an acronym even though you say each letter.

And thanks for posting on this thread 'cos it's reminded me that I haven't played this today :razz:

Or they might ask, "What's afaik an example of?" and the answer would be Acronym ;)
/me steps in, slaps Sparrow and legs it - shhh :embarrassed:

ROFLMAO

LOL...!!!!

AFAIK, I haven't played for 3 days... :cry::cry::cry:

Ahem.... Where has everyone gone? The number of so-called nerds has suddenly died down to two or three players now :sad:

Rofl, you beat me yesterday tash. Bloody 1!! That was fixed! :o

There was an adding up question? I never get them

/me spits her dummy out

/me giggles at being at the bottom

OOoOOoOOoOoOOOoo... Someone's doing Mathsssss.... :razz:

Aw, Miss 10 went to the University today for a special 'Maths Extension' class - supposed to be for first year High School students, but they accepted her even though she doesn't start high school for 2 years.

I sat in with it to see what it was all about - meh, she seemed to know it all, and I couldn't remember most of it!!

Maybe I should get her to answer these Q's o.O

And maybe you should enrol for the 'Maths Extension' class. :biggrin::razz:

Okay, I've changed the custom category to Maths/Astronomy. So you'll have a bit of both now, Maths and Astro. A relief from the same old Maths questions, isn't it? :razz:

Does anyone even play this anymore? tortoise bro... :cry:? bb? jenzzzz?

aww... lol. funtimes.
