iTouchDS Quiz Results

I got all 20 of them right, except for the E-Reader one... Thanks to the Wikipedia edits.

Not that it matters for this specific quiz anymore, but I think you should consider mentioning on the next quiz that people should avoid using Wikipedia (or use it cautiously) due to these edits.

Sure, there are plenty other sites with inaccurate information that people should avoid, but after reading some quiz posts in the past 30 minutes, it seems that Wikipedia has been specifically used as a means to "reduce the competition" more than once. I'd hate to see it happen again to someone else. :\

There's no way to prevent it. Even if there was a giant warning on the front page and before you take the quiz, they won't read it. Most people hardly even read the rules(Both for signing up and the rules that state when the contest ends and how they will be contacted.) Let the people use Wikipedia without knowing the risks. There are enough warnings.

Congrats, you all suck....

Nah, just kidding, good job to all winners.

Argh.. So close but so far

Anyway - it was fun to solve this quiz (as well as the previous ones). By the way - I'm really looking forward to the next Tournament (hey, I patricipated only in one and I was in final - it'd be reaaaly wonderful if i had a chance to do it (or even better) again

).

Congrats to the winners

The answer to the E-reader question was never on Wikipedia...

Weren't you the same person that said this though:

QUOTENever trust wiki, someone could mess it up like right before the quiz and you'll be taking the wrong answers...

Diablo1123 · Jul 31, 2008

Yes, but I check the sources also...

So then there is no point to "Never trust wiki, someone could mess it up like right before the quiz and you'll be taking the wrong answers..." because you could just check all the sources anyway.

That is why you check the history of Wikipedia pages.

Buggerit 23/25

Got the Kool Aid Man one and the International Controversy one wrong (latter was unfair imo).

frostfire · Aug 2, 2008

19/20. Got just the e-reader one wrong. My source said fabricated by Nintendo or something. Well whatever.

What? That's months old quiz... This is different quiz. You sure you are looking at correct quiz? o.O

Joey90 · Aug 2, 2008

25/25!

But because of the 5 discounted questions I don't win anything

Was it ever said how many got 25 (I can't be bothered to read through 14 pages :| )

recover · Aug 3, 2008

Got 20/20, didn't win though

Congrats to the winners.
I hope I'll win the next quiz
