I am one of the 7%!
« on: March 10, 2018, 11:05:32 PM »
(No worries...if you're on this board, so are you.)
Here's some Saturday night clickbait found on Facebook that almost defies description; a game show quiz "challenge" (using that term VERY loosely) that claims to stump 93% of all comers. It's a basic forty-question screenshot identification quiz, and it's only a multiple-choice test because two IS a multiple of one. Fer crying out loud, several of the screenshots even feature the show's logo, just GIVING you the correct answer. After one clicks the correct answer, you get a factoid about the show that proves the quiz's creator spent less time researching her facts than I did composing this post. Whoopie (sic) Goldberg and Phyllis Diller the main driving forces of HSq? I mean, I liked the Whoopi revival, but the screenshot is from the original series.

Anyway, if you want a cheap perfect score (and haven't seen this on your own FB feed yet,) here's the link.

What the hell even is that picture of Let's Make a Deal?  It looks like a promo shot crossed with bad computer graphics that still look too advanced to have been possible when the show was running.

The caption that goes along with Face the Music is amusingly wrong.

Someone, presumably, got paid actual money to create that piece of garbage.

Even for a mindless time waster, that was a horrible quiz. Like Eric said, if you want people to identify the game show, you may not wanna use pictures with the show’s logo prominently displayed. :P

I know it’s a goofy little internet quiz, but at least try and make the choices convincing. If you can’t tell Pyramid from Fear Factor, there’s a problem.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

I've always wanted to be the person that gets paid to make the stupid graphics that list a bunch of names and state an inane "factoid" such as "EVERYONE NAMED BELOW WILL GET LUCKY THIS WEEK".

I like ramen as much as the next guy, but man, I don't want to eat it for every meal.

I figured out about half way in that even the wrong answer was going to be the correct answer for one question sooner or later.  I wonder if the quiz-maker wrote the quiz/program to where it randomly chooses a game show to use for a wrong answer (I did not want to go thru the quiz again).  I say that because of Brandon's second observation and the fact that I came across the same wrong answer on a few questions.
