Actually, if you check the news archives, the edition listed also stirred up a decent bit of controversy itself, particularly in Canada.Dio said:Actually, one of the choices you're thinking of is an entirely different edition.AlexElder said:Paralel said:The only one I found difficult was the question involving "international controversy", it's rather vague. What exactly is a "large amount"? Is it by volume of news? Number of countries involved? Lawsuits? People killed? Things it has been blamed for? Jack Thompson quotes?
That question bugged me too. very subjective. I think it should be taken out of the quiz if a large amount of people got it wrong. Otherwise fun quiz. Thanks GBAtemp and Acekard!
Took the quiz earlier (after the wiki vandalism was cleared up though it looks like from the edits luckily) and it was fun. There were some I had to look up (sales data, color choices, and whatnot) and others I felt confident on but checked anyway since research wasn't against the rules. Just thought I'd at least say thanks to the mods for putting this contest on and look, it even brings old lurkers like me out of the woodwork!
IMO, that was probably the hardest one for me. I only knew one of the games for that question.Paralel said:Actually, if you check the news archives, the edition listed also stirred up a decent bit of controversy itself, particularly in Canada.Dio said:Actually, one of the choices you're thinking of is an entirely different edition.AlexElder said:Paralel said:The only one I found difficult was the question involving "international controversy", it's rather vague.

Yeah, one instance immediately jumped to mind but I vaguely recalled the "other edition" controversy as well so I wasn't really sure. Went with what popped in my mind first though.

Well, by the sounds of it I was probably Wiki-tricked. Ah well, I'll see where I end up. Besides, I won't be able to use my Ez-Flash 3-in-1 with this anyway (I don't think). Best of luck to everyone. Especially the people who could answer them all without researching anything.
You can use an EZ 3in1 with the AceKard 2. I even believe that (not sure if it was official/bliss) there was EZ 3 in 1 support from the menu. Even if you don't like the built in support, you can still use GBAEXP Loader as it is homebrew which should work.Trolly said:
i didn't use wiki straight away but was linked to from google for a couple of answers i was unsure of. immediately i saw some discrepancies between the preview text shown in google and the wiki page so of course used other sources.
whilst the actions of a few have been very un-sportsman like, i think (hopefully) we've learnt some valuable lessons here.
we've all hopefully learnt some more historical information about the consoles and companies we've grown up loving. and we've also learnt some important research techniques. use multiple sources! sometimes looking at the number of pages that come up in a search can give a strong pointer to the correct information we're looking for.
and of course it shows that we do know how to conduct searches – so next time you have a question, chances are that someone has already asked the same question before and has already received a perfectly good answer!

lol why do people feel the need to use yahoo answers. I used google to help find a few answers but to see that some people are sad enough to ask other people. Stop being so lazy and look for yourself! Losers.
How do they choose the winners? Is it literally the people who got the most correct (i.e. all correct), or is it a draw?
It would be nice if you got a chance that reflected the number of questions you got right (i.e. someone who got half of them right had half the chance of someone who got them all right). This would be especially good as those who may have made a few mistakes, or got screwed over by wikipedia still have a chance

My question is why do people NOT READ THE RULES?
I mean really folks, the story is on the FRONT PAGE and if you click on it, then you can read all the rules for your self.

That's the exact same question I'm stuck on as well. That's a toughie. I hope what I answered is correct though. I didn't submit my answer yet.. just need to confirm a bit more then I'll submit it.
Edit: Meh, just went with it.. Hope it's right. Submitted my answers. Good luck to all.
