An update on Week 2's Results and Overall Rankings as well as starting Week 3

Separator-question-mark.png

It's been another hectic week of quizzing with 4 new question categories. It felt like some worked better than others and I'd appreciate your thoughts on the types of question so far - what have you enjoyed and what would you like to see in Week 3 and beyond?

Week 2 Winner

There were 22 questions in week 2 (if you ignore the failed Steemit Award Question) and it was a great week for @pennsif who correctly answered 9 questions to win this week's prize. As a solo player, he keeps the 10% beneficiary to this post all to himself. Well done pennsif!

Overall Rankings After Week 2

Two Shreks and Fiona (@bluelavender, @alexanderkass and @henryclive) continue to lead the way and pennsif's good week has seen him close the gap and move up into 2nd. Oops-a-lot (@mojociocio and @ady-was-ere) continue to chip away with some good answers and will be hoping for a strong Week 3.

Question Tracker

I thought that the question tracker worked well, so I'll use that again this week. Stay tuned and I'll make an effort to kick off proceedings tonight.

Question 5

🫟 Missing Words 📝

Please complete this sentence from a user's blog:

> Today, I am going to share with you guys every heart dear vegetable potatoes. Potatoes are very ❓ in every generation.

famous

Today, I am going to share with you guys every heart dear vegetable potatoes. Potatoes are very famous in every generation.

They are famous indeed!

1000213965.gif

Very famous 😉

They can be popular too. 🤔

✅ Absolutely! Potatoes are very famous in every generation.

common

👎 The correct answer was famous

beautiful

👎 a good effort, but it’s not ‘beautiful’ this time!

Sh.., I've mixed something up: The flower and banana articles are always beautiful...

chatgpt said "popular"

👎 chatGPT doesn’t know our user base as well as it could 😉

Loved?

👎 they are much loved but that’s not the word that our author chose.

Much enjoyed?

👎 despite being true, it wasn’t the author’s chosen description.

I guess it could be healthy... doesn't quite fit, but who knows how the Steemians think...

👎 The correct answer was famous. Potatoes are very famous.

tasty

👎 Tasty, tasty. Famous too.

Yes, just after I had sent ‘tasty’, I remembered our famous dialogues. Disconnect was faster (or rushed into my waiting time) or simply works more carefully... ;-)

consumed

👎 The correct answer was famous. Potatoes are very famous.

common

👎 Famous was the correct answer. Potatoes are very famous in every generation.

Question 6

📚 Literature 📖

Please identify the author and book title from the bullet points below:

  • 🏰 A long-held captive reunites with a cherished 🌸.
  • 💔 Two opposites entangle over shared affection, facing turmoil.
  • Fate ties all to peril in tumultuous, shadowed times.

Charles Dickens: A Tale of Two Cities

✅ Another successful question for NO team.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, wie geil ist das denn???

Both suggestions from the gut, only verified via Wikipedia whether my memory of the plot of these classics is correct.
Then I asked myself whether it had to be a classic at all, but by then it was already ‘too late’... ;-)

Yeah, ich freue mich!!!

I like that your answers are based on your readings. I also responded according to what I remember from the stories...🙂

GdtGorillaDiamondGIF.gif

🥳

A Long Engagement, Sebastien Japrisot?

👎 It's not Sebastien Japrisot

Papillon, Henri Charrière?

👎 It's not Henri Charrière

Victor Hugo's Les Misérables

👎 It's not Les Misérables

Alexandre Dumas: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo

If I'm not mistaken, he did not reunite with Mercedes. He loved BMW

👎 It's not Alexandre Dumas

Question 8

📚 Literature 📖

Please identify the author and book title from the bullet points below:

  • 🎓 meets 💼; sparks ⚡ but 🫣 vibes linger.
  • 🚪 encounter leads to 🔥, warnings only fuel 🔄.
  • 🌌 journey unravels desires & 🕶 secrets beneath surface.

J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I'm thinking what gender is it?🤔I still can't think of anything...

This sounds like 50🕶, 🤷‍♂️ but I think I'll take my chances with "Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Jules Verne.

But your description is too broad. I mean, every other romantic/thriller novel falls under the same category, No?

Or are your emojis also meant to be hints?
If so, then I think chriddi might be right. The graduation cap somehow reminds me of Harry Potter, along with the secret door. But where’s the magic emoji then?

Question 2

🫟 Missing Words 📝

In this round, I will take a sentence or paragraph from a user's blog - all you have to do, is fill in the blanks.

> After praying the morning prayer I sat down at home because today was ❓.

Sunday

I also thought about Sunday... but I said Friday...😁

I also thought Friday but said Sunday because somebody else already said Friday... My luck... ;-)

✅ It is Sunday.

The user sat down at home, because it was Sunday.

cold

Again only a guess because I did not find the exact quote. Though I read them all… 🤪

I washed my hands and face and brushed my teeth first to get fresh. Then I washed my hands and got fresh.
January,15-1-2025

I first brushed my teeth to freshen up, then I washed my hands and went to my room to freshen up

16.1.2025

What is this thing with double freshness....🤔🤔🤔

Edit: one more with the right sequence of hygiene routine:

woke up in the morning. Then I brushed my teeth. I washed my hands and face and freshened.

Another edit:

After waking up, I brushed my teeth first, then I washed my hands and face and went to my room to freshen up.

In case, you forget the right order of things...

So is it brushing your teeth, first or washing your hands?

I am very particular about the order. I'm confused now... And yes, it matters!

Well, if it was me, I'd wash my hands first. I wouldn't want dirty hands all over my toothbrush and then potentially contaminating my mouth and teeth!

Right answer.

  ·  2 days ago (edited)

Wow, a load of them still brush their teeth. I can’t believe it… NO, I don’t want to believe it…

I first brushed my teeth to freshen up, then I washed my hands and went to my room to freshen up. I put on clothes and got ready and put on Smriti clothes because it is very cold outside.
(Jan. 16th 2025)

I woke up in the morning, brushed my teeth thoroughly, and performed ablution with my hands and face
(Dec. 21st 2024)

I woke up in the morning, brushed my teeth thoroughly, and performed ablution with my hands and face

I read that one 🤣 I wondered "What's ablution?"

I put on clothes

Thank fuck for that. Would've been a rough day if they'd forgotten that detail.

Same here!

Now I know that we wash our face with water and not powder. 🫠🙃

Now? I know this since the beginning of the diary game. Four years, five? Ouch...

👎 Sitting down at home because it is cold is too logical I'm afraid.

I don't think a Google search brings up this post.

cold is too logical

There are a lot of users who write that they go back inside after getting up because it's too cold. After praying and brushing their teeth, of course.
I liked the grammar with ‘cold’. It would have been so beautifully typical... ;-)

In the meantime, this riddle probably belongs in the category ‘How do I kill time until my funeral?’, don't you think?! Reading diary games (or just the intros) is a great method... ;-)

It's remarkable how similar so many diary games look. I should probably write a "Diary Game" generator. That should be fairly easy 🙂

That would not only be very easy (because the vocabulary is so limited, you mean?), it would also be very funny. At least if you add a direct link from the posts to the sc accounts and an automatic mention of all major stakeholders.

holiday

👎 It's not holiday - not too far away though!

I will go with 'holiday' as o1eh suggested.

... today was a holiday so I stared at my toothbrush with a longing in my heart. It turns out toothbrushes also have a day off on Sundays.

👎 It's not 'holiday'. The answer's not 'toothbrush day' either 😉

1000028684.gif

After praying the morning prayer, I sat down at home because today was Christmas.

👎 It's not Christmas. The post is more recent than that.

because today was...my birthday?

👎 Happy Birthday! Oh, it's not their birthday though 😜

After praying the morning prayer I sat down at home because today was Friday

Yes, it's probably Friday, I hadn't seen this answer haha😅

👎 It's not Friday but you're very close. chriddi is correct with Sunday.

Friday

👎 Sunday was correct 🙂

Question 7

📚 Literature 📖

Please identify the author and book title from the bullet points below:

  • A lone traveler meets a 🌟 stranger with a 🐑 request.
  • Mysteries emerge where understanding falters; a ✎ becomes the key.
  • Unexpected encounters spark journeys into the unknown 🌌.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince.

  ·  7 hours ago (edited)

Ah, Le Petit Prince!
When I saw your answer I immediately knew it was right… 😊
👏💪🥳

✅ it is indeed “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Oh great!! By the way, that's one of my favorite books.😀

🥳 I've not read it although I think that I should!

You should!!

I shall 🙂

Yeah! It is a magical book, one that adults would not understand, but I think you will!🙂

I have reserved a copy from my local library 📚

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho?

👎 It's not 'The Alchemist'. Inspiracion got this one correct.

Carlos Ruiz Zafón: La sombra del viento (Der Schatten des Windes / The Shadow of the Wind)

👎 Not correct this time. This was Inspiracion's turn to be correct.

I give it a try: Michael Ende "Die unendliche Geschichte" ("Neverending Story")...?

👎 Be sure not to edit your comments - if you change your mind, it's best to reply to your comment and I'll see both 🙂

It's not 'Michael Ende' - Inspiracion got this one.

Question 1

🫟 Missing Words 📝

In this round, I will take a sentence or paragraph from a user's blog - all you have to do, is fill in the blanks.

> I enjoyed a beautiful afternoon today. The afternoon was ❓ ❓.

I guess, the afternoon was very beautiful.

What I also can say... and I'll brush my teeth very soon 😇

✅ Are you in NO team with chriddi?

Hey, one tick for me... 👍
Yes, NO team is the right team.

Where do you find these brilliant quotes... ;-)))

Wahrscheinlich in zu vielen Posts... 😇

This one... the 1st Diary Game I opened. If you open a Diary Game from certain geographies, you're pretty much guaranteed that it'll start along these lines!!

[…] The afternoon was beautiful today.

Just guessing… 🤪

👎 you’re close, but not quite. Moecki got it.

Moecki got it.

Great! Since we are a team...

Question 3

🫟 Missing Words 📝

In this round, I will take a sentence or paragraph from a user's blog - all you have to do, is fill in the blanks.

> But after waking up I tried to not waste any single moment from my time. I took my ❓ and ❓...

toothbrush and toothpaste

But after waking up I tried to not waste any single moment from my time. I took my toothbrush and toothpaste...

to feel fresh and germs free. 😅

I also thought of this one... Don't know how chriddi missed it!

But after waking up I tried to not waste any single moment from my time. I took my toothbrush and toothpaste to clean my teeth and to feel fresh and germs free.

image.png

This fella's a big fan of pink.

Next quiz! Who had a pink toothbrush to feel fresh 😉

He also wears pink pants to keep warm.

I think it's dog and mobile.

Die sagen nicht "mobile", die sagen "phone", oder?!
Zahnbürste, die Zahnbürste muss mit rein. Und die Paste?
Hm... @peppermint24, hilf!

  ·  yesterday (edited)

Hm, Deepl sagt "mobile phone".
Mein Englisch-Deutsch-Wörterbuch ist eindeutig zu alt (Ausgabe von 1997). Da steht das (noch) nicht drin. Ja, ich weiß, wer benutzt heute noch sowas...

Wahrscheinlich ist phone allein eindeutiger als mobile. Smartphone ginge wohl auch...

Aber sag mal, mache ich da was falsch?! Wenn ich meinen Tag nutzen will, nehme ich doch nicht meine Zahnbürste und Zahnpaste (mit)... Ich versteh's nicht. Ich glaube, ich habe einen Tag(alb)traum, kann mich bitte jemand wecken...

Deepl sagt "mobile phone".

Denke, das ist korrekt (wenn nicht bereits die Weiterentwicklung zum 'Smartphone' (smart phone, smart-phone?). In vielen englischsprachigen Ländern wird - meine ich - 'mobile' gesagt. Dort, wo solche Diary-Game-Posts herkommen, wird aber auf dem 'phone' getippt.
Vielleicht kann uns der Quizmaster Herr Gorilla als Muttersprachler weiterhelfen.

mache ich da was falsch?

Wenn dein erster Gedanke des Tages (okay, der erste Gedanke nach dem Gebet) nicht deiner Zahnbürste gilt, schon. Ja. Und wenn du sie nicht immer bei dir hast, auch. Kann ja etwas passieren. Einschneien oder so. Und dann ohne Zahnpasta. Geht's noch?

@chriddi is correct. The toothbrush does have to go in, and what use would a toothbrush be without toothpaste? disconnect got it!

Really?! I can't believe it, did someone really write it like that... NO words...

I took my mobile and wrote a post on Steem.

I think we only need two words, no 'half a sentence'.

Come on, we can do it! This is the week of NO team... 🏆... 😎...

I have found the exact text but disconnect got their first. 😛

There's a picture as well of both items. 🤣

🤣 Yes. There is. It saves me from asking the follow up question:

I took my toothbrush and toothpaste to ...

The end of that paragraph is the best.

But after waking up I tried to not waste any single moment from my time. I took my toothbrush and toothpaste to clean my teeth and to feel fresh and germ free.

Are we ever truly germ free?

You have an eye for great content.

Are we ever truly germ free?

I don't think so. Toothbrushes are also LOADED with germs.

Toothbrushes are also LOADED with germs.

They wouldn't be if people washed their hands BEFORE cleaning their teeth 😁

Are we ever truly germ free?

Oh dear, you didn't understand the text.
There is a world of difference between ‘being germ free’ and ‘feeling germ free’!

You have to tell me how to find the posts. Google doesn't work with restrictive characters and page limits. I also scroll way too much and spend so much time on the computer that I could really use for more creative things. This way I will quickly lose interest.
Although it is very, very fun to catch up on old times with you all... ;-)

toothbrush and mobile 😏

👎 You’re on the right track… I’d love to know what they do with their toothbrush and mobile?

They brush their teeth first (or was it wash their hands and face first?🤔), and then they get to work on their mobile phone🤨 (I dunno some online job, perhaps)

Personally, I'd wash my hands and face first. Then I'd have breakfast before brushing my teeth. But my culture is very different to theirs 😉

This person decided to wear their pink pants, to protect themselves from the cold.

In my case, I let the dog out first, and then wash my hands and face...
Hmm... did you just give a hint? That means the waiting period is reset 🤔

Ah, no. That wasn't a hint. It just amused me that they said what pants they were planning to wear. As though pink pants keep you warmer.

Can I try again or should I wait 3hrs?

It's the usual 3 hour wait 🙂

After waking up, I tried not to miss a single moment of my time. I took my favorite whiskey and poured it into a glass.

👎 The perfect start to the day (if you like Whiskey… which I don’t)… this user’s started their day sub-optimally! 😆

clothes and phone

👎 I was sure you'd get this one... where's @peppermint24 when you need him?

Hm... Have to talk to him before 19:42 o'clock...

Any bonus marks for discovering similaractivities...

Today, Sunday, December 29th, as usual, I woke up in the morning, brushed my teeth with toothpaste,

Ha ha. I'm trying not to make the questions too easy 😂

Question 4

🫟 Missing Words 📝

Please complete this blog title:

> I took pictures of ❓

vegetables.

✅ You'd be amazed by how many posts of flowers I opened before deciding upon this one. The title just made me laugh.

After seeing these pictures, I felt very happy

I didn't even see the pictures and I felt very happy 😆

I know vegetables can sometimes give you a dopamine hit. I felt the same when I got to know how to grow potatoes from potatoes. If you know what I mean. @o1eh @chriddi

One of the greatest posts in Steemit's history. I must find it and see if that great author's still active...

Sure I know what you mean.
My choice would have been „potatoes“ if „vegetables“ were not correct… 😁
Btw Grats! No team will rock this week… 😉

You're part of NO team aren't you?

Yes. NO team.

Great, we are NO team ;-D

Best moment I spent with kids at Manpura New Park with family

Then I took pictures of different things in different places.

👎 event-horizon got it. The answer was vegetables

I'l like a swan shaped pedalo.

Oops! blog title!

Thank you for the beneficiary.

It was good fun!

The Who Am I style of question, where people could ask questions, worked best from my angle.

The Movie ones were interesting although I missed most of them while I was out.

I don't have a musical bone in my body so not so keen on music questions.

Quizzes like this are the last stand for humans v AI.

How long can we hold out... I just watched a YouTube that suggests OpenAI may be on the cusp of ASI - with their latest iteration in the works now able to surpass the PhD specialist test consistently.

I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying it - I'll have to add more music questions if you start doing too well 😉

Of all the question categories so far, I’d say I enjoyed the musical dinosaurs the most - probably because I’m into music 😅

I also like the movies as well. It’s quite fun deciphering the image first before crawling our way to IMDb’s top movies lists.

However, I’ve noticed that the questions, especially the later ones, tend to be posted around my bedtime or while I’m asleep. As a result, most of them are already answered by the time I’m awake. It's no big deal if you have teammates but what about those who planned to play solo? A bit of a disadvantage, I think. Overall, week 2 was a bit fun...

It's no big deal if you have teammates but what about those who planned to play solo? A bit of a disadvantage, I think.

It certainly is. Having engaged teammates in different timezones gives you an advantage in answering more questions. The downside... you have to share the prize!

I enjoyed the musical dinosaurs the most - probably because I’m into music 😅

I'm glad you enjoyed that one. I enjoyed creating them but have struggled with time last week so didn't really get the opportunity to record any! Definitely more to come though!

  ·  yesterday (edited)

Definitely more to come though!

🥳I hope they come up soon...

I liked the first week more, probably because we were leading in it😁, and the Steemit Awards questions were quite challenging for us as newcomers to the platform.

You're still doing well - I'm expecting you to be at the top end if you continue all year!

This post has been featured in the latest edition of Steem News...

I am following the quiz every day, although I can't think of the answers, I still enjoy seeing how it goes and I like to see what the questions consist of. But I'm afraid I'm playing alone,🤔 I can't see my team here. We haven't communicated outside of here either...

I saw a couple of your team members in the 1st week but not since. One of them complained that they'd have to look at my blog instead of me tagging them for each question. You're welcome to remove yourself from the team and go solo if you'd like?

It's nice to have you here 🙂

There is no problem with the team, I was hoping to see them and I have missed them, but I will still be here 🙂

Hopefully they’ll join in at some point. They’re probably busy at work!

It’s been a fun week with all those creative quizzes! overall I enjoyed them all. I’m a bit disappointed I couldn’t participate in the first week, but since it’s a year-round competition, I’ll take the slow and steady approach like a turtle 😀

By the way, I believe my points should be 04 (Q7, 8, 11, 15).

Yes, you're absolutely right. I've updated the table.

Pennsif was quiet in the 1st week too - I suspect the winning team will be the one that consistently plays throughout the year.

Hello @the-gorilla, 3 days ago my wife made a steem transfer but forgot to include a memo. Could you please provide a little help for this issue? I will be very grateful and appreciate it 🙏

The only option that I'm aware of is to contact the exchange that she transferred it to and give them as much detail as you can.
