- Subeta

A new trivia question has been added!

BlueGreenGrey @

Don't count on BGG knowing what she's talking about. She's second-guessing herself as well LOL The trivia said specific, DebiLee said specific.. but if Debi said "official" later, well... what's official? What's specific? It's mostly just a matter of personal judgment, unlike "What is the 26th letter of the American standardized alphabet?" GAH I just know I'm going to be buying this minion from someone later XD

BlueGreenGrey: *whispers* be as specific as you possibly can be! 
 
 
DebiLee: It would be the most commonly used "official" term for it. 
 
 
DebiLee says common, BGG says specific, and the more specific answer is the less common one. -cries-

It's really not easy, I don't think anyone who lives outside of Pennsylvania would know it. Good thing we can google it. I've never heard of it. And if the answer I put is right, I agree with Topizots and Starshadowk. :.(

User not found: @

Oh man this will be easy for most people who live in the states. As for a canadian like me...not so easy...I hope I got it right. The prize is so cute. XD

RainOfStars @

I'm just jealous that we don't get today off in Florida, only in Pennsylvania <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> I've never heard of this, hope my answer is right. Good luck all!

Saoirse @

Got the last one right! Was worried about that one. This one is easy^^ And the prize is too cute!

0

SeriousGreen @

Yes, I put "safe" as well since I figured it had to do with the name of the game. As for this newest one, well it's a real doozie. I agree there are numerous ways to take this. I stumbled across a google page where the school holiday was actually metioned so I went with the name that was specified there. Just a gall-danged mind boggler as my granny used to say! Good-luck everyone <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

I DO NOT think I am going to like the outcome of this trivia.. I think there is more than one correct answer .. again.. sigh.. *owl flash back*

friendbynote @

Aw. Darn. I put "Trivia" for the one yesterday. GENIUS, I SAY! xD 
 
ooh, I live in Pennsylvania~

Jenflower @

lol - honeybear...me too. I saw the question's wording and I my thought process went along these lines: 
 "Oooh I know where that's from! Safe Crack! Yay! I win! Uh oh...the format requires one word. Hmmm....okay, I'll submit "Safe"! Yay! I win!" Many hours later I actually took the time to read what it was asking and realized how much the word "safe" does not answer the question. -fail-

0

honey_bear @

*face/palm* I was so stupid with the last one. I just put safe, I wasn't even thinking about the combination.

0

Jenflower @

This trivia is definitely not biased towards Pennsylvanians. In fact, I probably submitted the wrong answer *because* I am a long-term Pennsylvania resident. Instead of depending on Google, I immediately answered by using the knowledge I've had from living in Pennsylvania for the past 20 years. All of the area newspapers, school newsletters, etc. commonly use one of the specific terms. From what I have gathered by Debi's statements, however, it sounds like she chose to use another term based on the fact that it appeared more often in her online searches. So, it would appear that some of the answers (probably mine, too) validly answer the question...there is only one answer that will win it. Oh well! 
This happens a lot, guys - the system doesn't allow for multiple valid answers, so that's just how it goes. *waits to buy yet another trivia prize, darnit!* <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Noo.. I am so confused <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" /> I found the answer, but have absolutely no idea how to write it...

0

ruslop @

deepinquisition I agree with you that if the answer is to be specific it would be 4 words. I know what it is and I put the only 2 word answer I could think of that can encompass the correct answer. I will be interested to see what turns out as the correct answer as there are 2 general 2 word answers most used.

Aww, and so close. Oh well. ^^ Better luck this time, I hope.

Frostpebble @

Darn it, I said 'safe' as the answer for the last one too. I hate getting them wrong when I actually knew it. I guess I'll have to buy a thunder orb then, because I really like it. 
 
I'm pretty sure I got this new one though, I live near Pennsylvania and heard someone talking about this the other day.

Bagheera23608 @

Well I searched and searched. I have no idea where ya'll are looking cuz everything I found was at least two different things...... Guessed anyway.

ok now i'm mad... I answered and clicked summit and the site lagged and I clicked summit again just to make sure it went through and I got the "you already played this round" thing.. and I haven't a clue if my answer actually went through the 1st time or not.. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> 
I really want and need that prize for my minion gallery.

I got the answer, however I think this trivia question is not only inappropriate but inaccurate. Just overall unfortunate IMO.

HAHAHA i love how the prize for this one helps a lot ;]

User not found: @

Event! 
Your answer combination for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an Thunder Orb and 123sP 
 
 
I must say the orb looks much different then I thought it would on the HAs.. I was thinking it would be like all the other staffs, wands,swords ,etc and be hand held with glowing orbs around it.. 
 
 
This new one is making my brain hurt.. I used to live in PA for a few years and now I am gonna have to sit here and make that dang hamster run the wheel and remember days from way back when I was much much younger.

Hopefully I have worded it right for this new one...

Uh...this one doesn't make you think, this one makes you google stuff and then you get to see how good you are at playing eeny-meeny-miney-moe at picking which answer to submit. I've found what I think the answer to be, in 2 words, all pretty specific at least 5 times. Wah. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_sigh.gif" border="0" />

It's a tough trivia. There will be many wrong answers. I think all in all that's the way trivias should be. Challenging. Tricky. Make you think. It's ok, really. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Aimee @

This is a very controversal trivia question, I'm sure whatever the answer is, it will be easily debated as being wrong... not necessarily wrong, but there's a couple answers, there truly is. It's called a few different things universally... so OUCH

0

BlueGreenGrey @

GRRR - now I'm second-guessing myself and thinking I should have answered the other choice I had. *headdesk* Well, on the bright side - if we all screw this one up, it'll get reused soon LOL

0

lewysgal @

So far, I have come up with 2 possible correct solutions and can argue either one with many Google-able examples. I think I'll have to do an Eeny Meeny Miney Moe to pick out which one to put down. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />

<center>Right On, BlueGreenGrey!! <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> 
it's also is the same way for ANY non-subeta related trivia. 
If I remember correctly, they did a trivia about Guy Fawkes. Guy Fawkes was not something that had to do with America. In fact, it had to do with England. 
So, if you want to see a non-subeta related trivia for another country, submit one.</center>

BlueGreenGrey @

LOL - America is a big, big, BIG place. PA is one state of 50, and not the entire state of PA even does this, mostly just the rural schools, where it's deemed necessary. So if it's unfair for non-Americans, it's unfair for Michiganders, Floridians, Californians, Alaskans, Hawaiians, Carolinians, Georgians, Texans, New Yorkers, Virginians, etc, etc... and also anyone who lives anywhere in a medium to large sized city. We pretty much ALL have to Google it, and then try to figure out which answer is most specific.

Wow, so many people upset because of this trivia.. lol, I just took it lightly, it's just one trivia and to be honest, I don't want the prize that much (then again, I usually only care if the prize is wearable :p). I just answered one of the answers I found, and I'm just curious to know which one will end up right :O

Twi @

I officially hate "specific" trivia. Specific is relative! I found 2 good answers i'm debating over, and I guess I'll just choose the more specific of them. hopefully, nothing was over looked and the internet is actually giving me commonly used terms. I can foresee a bit of anger after this is done... *plugs her answer*

Remedy @

Okay this is stupid. 
 
It says two words be specific.. but the SPECIFIC answer would really be 4 words.

I also put safe instead of combination. This one is a bit challenging for me and I am in the US. The Holiday in that state does not affect the other states so it is challenging for some people in the US as well as out.

What isn't being grasped is that the first day of thing.. is called something different depending on which county or district you live in in Pennsylvania.

Eehad @

*phew* yeah the trivia is definatly strangly phrased... I'm not from the US and checked the net wide and far and the only thing I could find would be 3 words if I want to be precise, not 2... well - I'll see tomorrow I assume <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />

0

puissance0 @

"We're looking for /what/ it is the first day /of/ " - really? so i guess my answer was wrong. but are you sure? because the way I see the trivia, it's ambiguous, and perhaps slightly more likely the other way round... 
 
"In the US, in the state of Pennsylvania, what somewhat unusual day is given off school every year as a holiday today" - i think "the first day of..." is just a hint to be aware that it's also considered the first day of something, and called something else. 
 
argh in any case.

Crack the safe wasn't the answer because the safe doesn't change each day, the combination changes. If you click on the game you'll see that it says 'The combination on the safe changes every day, and each day you have a chance to figure it out!' The format also said the answer was only one word.

are we lookinig for the name of the day or two words that follow "the first day of..." ? this trivia is badly phrased O_o

@Oreo did you read the trivia carefully? 
The format said one word and one word only so the answer was obviously combination. That's what changes each day while you answered the name of the game.

Raeven_DarkWings @

wow. this is getting really old. I miss the advent one because teh entry was calendAr (even though on the site it's spelled calendEr) and now i miss teh safe one because it was combination instead of safe. i hate being right but not right, it really sucks. I wish there was some way around it. like, ya know, have a human check teh answers or something. i know that would take way too long, but still, just makes me mad, ya know?

0

menmeryiset @

Hmmmm! I have found several names for the same thing by googling it. How specific does it need to be? I know that the school children call it something different than what is on most websites. 
Its not good having a question that has several answers depending on where you look/live and suchlike.

ZombieDoggie @

Found it, I live in the UK so I had no idea until I found out about it. Though I have heard of it but I'm terrible with days and dates and stuff especially if they aren't in my country x_X. The prize is so cute! *snuggles it*

Actually it's not really biased for Americans. It's confusing for Pennsylvanians! I have lived in Pa for 32 years in a few counties here and each school district calls it something different. =( I just went through my son's school notices and checked out the website of the districts I grew up in and they are all different.

ShibbNani @

If this one is biased for Americans, then the Guy Fawkes Day trivia was biased for the English. :/

Because I was born evil and new outgrew it - but they REALLY validate my point XD

ruslop @

I thought this was easy as well, but after I have answered...not sure it was right. I now see that it can the answer can be at least 2 possibilities. I am in WV, we have the similar "school holidays", just different dates.

Ariel @

Oh those stupid damn owls, why, oh why, would you mention them?! XD

0

BlueGreenGrey @

Biased? That's like saying.... a question about President Bush is biased, because he's American. The question has to be based in SOME group, SOMEWHERE. Happens to be PA here. They also have this in Michigan, on a different day. Am I saying it's biased because I'm from Michigan, and therefore the dates are messed up? Google is your friend. If the question is about something George W. Bush said at a conference last week, you Google it. If it's about the original killer in the first Friday The 13th movie, Google it. If it's about some little-known almost extinct species of tiny owlets, you Google it. If it's about some obscure not-quite-holiday tradition in rural Pennsylvania, you Google it.

Kestrel @

Ahahah this one was easy for me. |D -lives in Pennsylvania- 
 
But for those of you saying it's biased for people who live in the U.S, most people who don't live in that particular state wouldn't know the answer to this without looking it up. It isn't really any different than any other Trivia they might ask about a "holiday".

Violet_Vibes @

Afghjk. I thought the answer to the last one was 'safe,' not 'combination.' Agh.

oooI love this trivia..Its easy for me cuz I'm from Pa*dancing in my computer chair*

Ariel @

It's something anyone can google, how is it biased?

0

Orchipea @

I totally don't agree that this is biased. EVERYONE has access to a search engine, and as someone pointed out earlier, they live in Pennsylvania and didn't know the answer without looking. So basically, everyone has an equal chance! <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />

Oh well, I'll just throw in a guess. If I don't guess now, I'll keep searching for it till it's over, and risk my brain exploding. I'll do my best to be zen about it, haha.

Vivi @

Oh crap. I think I already answered it wrong.. ; o ; I found the answer, and then answered it, and then I looked again and I found ANOTHER answer that could be it.. and it was probably the RIGHT one, too.. ; o ; I want that minion SO BADLY too. DX -flails arm-

BlueGreenGrey @

*whispers* be as specific as you possibly can be!

ShibbNani @

Hrm...how specific do you want this? I found the answer, and there's one general answer, and a very specific one. Is this asking for the very specific one?

0

Evy @

I have spent the last half hour looking around on the internet, and I still don't have the slightest clue on how to word it. I know what it's talking about, but there are just too many possible ways to put it. I -must- have that minion for my gallery, sigh. I'm thinking this trivia will cause a lot of controversy when it's over.

Techniqually, you haven't failed this trivia yet, not until the answer is given out. So don't worry, there is still a chance that your answer is the right one, hehe. Honestly I'm not so sure if my answer is correct neither. Too much information on internet :p

I love when people complain about google-able trivias being biased XD

DebiLee @

It isn't actually a real holiday, technically; it is asking the first day of... what specifically... (two words). I finally made search give me a couple of the other answers mentioned, but they're obviously incorrect; this is specific.

Tribunal @

Meh. I think this trivia is equal-acess, as long as you've got the internet. 
 
(Which you obviously do, or you wouldn't be reading this XD) 
 
Penn. people may get a slight boost.. but no more than someone who's a Cryptography major getting a boost on a code-based trivia... 
 
And it's hard to write a non-subeta based trivia that doesn't involve one group or another.

The format says specific, this day is only for one very specific... whatever it is... XD There are other days that cover others; this is just for the one extremely specific thing.

I think I might know what it is, but I kinda have two answers, and you said be specific. And that it's 'unusual', but I don't find it so unusual... D; -so confused- 
 
Who knows, maybe I'm even wrong. Though I've been researching for the past 20mins...

0

DebiLee @

It would be the most commonly used "official" term for it. This happens to be a specific state related Trivia; we've had French, Mexican, Irish, English, Scottish, etc. Trivias in the past. But a US based site will tend to use predominantly US based Trivias.

0

Lily_617 @

I found 2 different holidays, none of them seems to match. Google had failed me! Darn it.

0

Well, there are a bunch of different names for today.. but only one I found that specifically mentions Pennsylvania <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />

I did a search and found at least 5 ways to call that :/

I put safe as well, doh!

I can come up with at least 3 things that could be right. x_x I guess one of the three seems most appropriate or obvious. But, ah, I don't wanna mess up.

Jenflower @

The schools, the local papers, the news - we've only called it one way since I've lived in PA for the past 20 years. I would hate to lose this if other PA locations call it something else.

Alright, put it. Hope I phrased it right XD.

I'm not even going to mention how dumb I was to put "safe" as the answer to the last one. As for this one...my daughter has no school today because of this, so I knew it right away. Yep - I'm currently from Pennsylvania. (although, still a New Yorker at heart.)
