_______________________________________________________________________________

Welcome to the Know Your Armor Games Quiz, a quiz that tests your knowledge of Armor Games.

The Rules: The Quiz:
- Answer as many questions as possible.
- You do not have to answer all of the questions from memory.
- All the questions have a point value indicated in brackets to the right of the question number.
- There is no penalty for getting a question wrong or skipping a question, so don't be afraid to guess.
- Answer a question correct to get the points for that question.
- There are a total of 55 questions and 172 total points.
- The winner is the user with the most points.

The Rules: How to Submit Answers:
- To submit your answers simply copy the questions from the original post and put the answers underneath each question. Then post your answers (the questions with the answers beneath them) to this thread (before the deadline).
(You may also submit your answers by just numbering them. But they must be numbered in an easy to read way and the numbers, to the answers, must corresponded to the proper questions.)
- There is a 10 point penalty if you do not post your answers to the questions in a proper format (under the questions or with the corresponding numbers).
- Submit all your answers in one post.
- You can only submit your answers once, so be careful before you submit them. Look over your answers thoroughly before submitting.
- There is a 10 point penalty if you do not post your answers to the questions in a proper format.

The Rules: No Cheating:
- Don't cheat. If you copy and paste another users answers you are cheating. I should be able to tell if you are cheating.
- If you are expected of cheating and want to dispute it, you may e-mail me at KnowYourAGQ@hushmail.com and we will discuss it.

The Rules: The Prizes (Winning):
- The prize for winning the challenge is a 640 x 800 jpeg, graphic art, trophy image, made in GIMP by me, and customized with the winners user name. It will be posted on the forum in this topic.
- The winner may feel free to save the image to their hard drive and use it as they wish.
- If there are multiple winners I will just post one generic trophy in this thread and then list all the winners underneath and congratulate them or something like that.
- This contest is unofficial. So there is no merit prize.

The Rules: Deadline:
- The deadline will be on January 8, 2010 9AM (Pacific Time Zone UTC -8:00) (5pm UTC-0:00)
The deadline may be extended. If your submission is late don't worry. If I haven't posted the winners submit your answers anyway.

- If you have any further questions feel free to ask them in this thread or e-mail me at KnowYourAGQ@hushmail.com (I may not respond right away on the e-mail).

- Many thanks to Strop who inspired this quiz, allowed me to use some of his questions, and proof read the quiz.

Oh, and technically, the mailing address is incorrect too. I don't think we've changed it on our 'About' page, but we're actually in suite 205, not 130. We moved last summer.

...and since Reton8 doesn't post the correct answers...


Did no one read the post on page four? (lol)

Not only did I grade each quiz and post them individually I posted the answers (as jpeg images hosted on imageshack) twice. One with the answers and one with the source of how I got the answers.

4e.) [2 pts] Who has effectively taken Carlie's place with an official staff position at the Armor Games office?


These question was actually taken from Strops quiz in a thread a while back.

http://armorgames.com/community/thread/6695530/veteran-users/page/14

The answer comes from Strop's quiz as well, but it wasn't a for sure type thing.

Other corrections:

9b. Larry Root, there's no 's' on his surname

10b. The red/green system doesn't work at all. It was originally meant to indicate when we'd seen a user on the site in the past 15 minutes, but it had some serious performance problems, so the code was removed. I tried reactivating it back in October but it almost killed the system with the number of users we have now.

10e. There's no theory about how the monthly point leaders thing works: it has been broken for as long as I've been here. The guy who wrote that part of the software didn't do a very good job at keeping track of the points gained by users, so the values are often inaccurate, and I believe we shut off the software that resets those values every month anyway. /shrug

Yeah, not sure where HE got that information. I was hired as an employee in mid-January of 2010 as a web developer. I only help out as an admin on a casual basis.

http://armorblog.com/2010/04/larry-web-programming-extraordinaire

I don't even know why I put an 's' on that. I got my answer form the link above (there is no 's' in the blog). Oh boy. My apologizes fro any inconveniences this may cause Mr. Root (hopefully not too many because this thread didn't get that popular anyway lol)

I proof read the quiz so many times. How did I let that slip by?

(All the Strop question I used I got permission to use.)

Oh, there's always time. This one will be much harder though, especially if a merit is on the line.

Lol, considering this quiz's turnout and result and the the intention of upping the difficulty..

Though, there's still a lot of stuff about AG to cover and I love a good challenge.

OH YEAH, I FAIL!!

I'm sorry to say that i completely forgot about this because i was kinda busy around the time I answered my 3 questions. Sorry about that.

BUT, i did get 2 out of the 3 that I answered! And I may be last, but I'm on the top of the list. Like how that was arranged . Maybe I'll participate in it again if a new one ever gets made (and try to finish it).
