Too late to register, too many participants apparently.

So I guess the host has to increase the limit if that's an option at all.

That's it, the maximum number of participants has been reached. I'll spare you the details, but I was anally violated by Kahoot and I thought I would use a trial version, but when I logged back into my old account, it activated the payment. 288€ in my ass... Last week was not a good week for me. But I can create quizz for a year

.
Anyway the Bitcointalk 11th anniversary quizz is now over.

Here is some data and info about the questions and answers.

Only 52% correct answers. I was surprised by this percentage, it was supposed to be a very easy question to warm you up. Especially since I did the quizz on the 21/22nd of November.
And May the 4th is Star Wars day. It was a trap

72% correct answers, I was surprised too, I expected a lower percentage. Obviously, I am not the only one who dreams of Theymos.

52% correct answers, I expected less, the question was not easy. If Satoshi (UID 3) was still writing messages, it would be known. The Madhatter (UID 14) has been banned and inactive since September 2011. Cøbra was a trap, his UID is 249495.

There are 97 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 21171 sMerit per 30 days

Only 26% correct answers. OK, it was a very difficult question, but it was to test our statisticians. DdmrDdmr and LoyceV did not fail and gave the right answer.

Only 37% correct answers, a little disappointing. I based myself on this page to get the information.

54% correct answers. For a long time I thought it needed 500 activity and 500 merits to be a hero, but 480 activity is necessary.

30% correct answers, a difficult question, I admit it. But this artwork has changed my life, I can't see a banana in the same way anymore.

Quote from: COCKSMUGGLA69 on October 20, 2019, 02:11:27 AM

heres my entry to the art contest. It is a sculpture. I call it Bitcointalk Deity.

Im not so good with words so I am using a sculpture to express my feelings about bitcoin and bitcointalk.

When I first learned about Bitcoin it seemed like scam. Then I learned more about it was. Its something that has never existed before. Something new and bizarre and magical and excellent.

Those are the feelings i tried to evoke in my here art.

The media i used are a banana and banana tattooing.

The art piece also incorporates a hungarian stamp for 5 million adopengo from 1946. This was the last stamp that i knwo of in the hungarian hyperinflation and according to wikipedia 1 adopengo was 2x10E21 pengo. So if wikipedia is correct this stamp was worth 1E29 pengo. At the beginning of 1946, sending a letter cost about 20 pengo. So you can figure out how much hyperinflation there was over the year of 1946. A lot!

The piece also incorporates some ganja and a blotter paper because bitcoin means the freedom to do whatever we want and bitcointalk means the freedom to discuss these things.
The most important parts of the piece are a woodscrew, a tupperware container, a vibrating cock ring and two razor blades that make up the deities mouth. The deity is part inspire by the demigorgon from stranger things. I will let you interpret it as you please.

I hope you all enjoy. i incorporated some other peoples artwork that isnt mine including the satori coin, the silk road blotter paper the ganja and i got some inspiration for the chicken and the knife from some clip art on the internet but i dont know who the original artists is for any of this artwork.

one more thing im a newbie account that means i cant reply to your pms fast but to answer all your ¿?s yes, i will auction this sculpture off after the contest ends if there is interest.

59% correct answers, not too bad considering that this bot hasn't been active for a while now.

OK I have to explain the first answer because only Germans or those speaking German understood the joke. Autobahn in german = freeway.
And there was a trap, simple moderators cannot ban a user. They can nuke a newbie, but in the modlog it says 'nuke user' not autoban.

63% correct answers, quite impressive. You're more used to making reports than knowing the anniversary date of the forum

33% correct answers. It was not an easy question. But there was a little clue : when I put 27 000 posts, you have to understand 27 000 pages in the WO.
27 000 * 20 (posts per page) = 550 000

59% correct answers, I expected much less. When it comes to money, you're good

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155000.0

I would like to make it clear that Darstar_ and CM did not give anything for this question. Instead of 'Sponsored question' I should have put 'Free ad'.
65% correct answers. Wow.
I wanted to ask a question about signature campaigns because it's an important part of the forum, and ChipMixer is probably the best known and half of the forum must have applied at least once. Apparently) I was right

Only 30% correct answers.
Bitcointalk.org and cryptotalk.org were obvious pitfalls. Many fell into them.
www.cryptos-currencies.com was the first forum created from Epochtalk, but Lulucrypto has disappeared and the forum is no longer online.
So coinbistro.com remained.

57% correct answers, not bad.
In 20 seconds you had the opportunity to check this topic.

50% correct answers. Not too bad, this picture comes back from time to time and it was in an article (I didn't find the topic, just the article).

54% correct answers, I expected a lot more because this quote comes back very often in Meta.

I'll get right on that, just as soon as hell freezes over.

With 17% correct answers, this was clearly the most difficult question.
I don't know how I came across the topic of the origins of usernames, but Theymos has revealed a little secret here :

Quote from: theymos on February 03, 2011, 07:55:19 PM

I originally made mine for an RPG character: Theymos Amastica. It was created without much thought, being only a minor adjustment of the "Thamior" and "Amastacia" names given as elven name examples in the D&D 3.5 Player's Handbook. I began using it for all of my online game accounts, as well, and then I used it even for non-game accounts so I wouldn't have to remember multiple usernames. (At this point most of my online accounts were game-related.)

I sometimes wish that I had chosen something better and more meaningful, though it is nicely unique: almost all Google results for "theymos" are related to me. It would be very difficult to change at this point, after using it for 5+ years.

Noted that Theymos answered this question incorrectly (he put the answer D).

Only 35% correct answers. OK I have seen your complaints and I understand them. Instead of "Who is he ?" I should have put "Which user is it ?", the question would have been less ambiguous.
But it was Theymos who posted this picture, not Thermos

Image credits: Kahoot's gallery, Google Images, screenshots from Bitcointalk, screenshot from Epochtalk, the Chipmixer logo, a graph from tranthidung.

And here is the final ranking (sorry Mole0815

)

Congratulations to Theymos, but it was easy for him because there were a lot of questions about him.
Congratulations to Iasenko and DdmrDdmr, only 3 mistakes (Q8, 11 and 16 for Iasenko and Q4, 8 and 20 for DdmrDdmr). You are really the great experts of this forum.
Sorry again for the people who came on Saturday night.

Hopefully you’ll do a few more ??

Mmmm no, there will be no Christmas quizz, no New Year's quizz. But... I don't know if it's because of the lockdown or if I'm a masochist, but while doing this quizz, I thought of something else, bigger, crazier : Bitcointalk Olympic Games.
Imagine several teams competing on different events on Bitcointalk ?
So there would be "national" teams from the local sections (GER, Croatia, India, Spanish, maybe from Japan, China, etc...), but also a USA/North American team, GB, AUS/NZ, an African team, etc... But also "thematic" teams : scamhunters team, spambusters team, collectibles team, statisticians team, Staff team, Wall Observer Team, etc...
And for the moment I see 3 types of events possible :
- A quizz : I saw that with Kahoot a live quizz is not possible and it is not easy to gather a lot of people at the same time. But, for example, I could connect to Discord and give the link privately to the quizz participants.
- A trading contest: guess the price of BTC + 2-3 altcoins at a given date.
- An art contest : but something quite simple with an imposed theme.

With this quizz, I saw that something is needed to motivate members. It could be a badge, a title, something unique and/or BTC for the winners. I will have to see with Theymos what is possible and/or find a generous sponsor.
It's just a idea. Would you be interested or am I crazy ?
