Right. Didn't see the "End of December" part

What's the difference between a bonus question and a normal question? In the end it comes to same thing: answer correctly you get points... [/QUOTE]If I make it a bonus question, it will open up room for an easier question.
Or I could scrap the question altogether.
Or I could make it a 'red question', which if you get wrong, you lose points. Those questions are often very challenging, and there are only a few of them.

Regardless, it does not matter. The test is not done, and that's all that matters right now.

I just wanted to know what is the difference between a normal question and a bonus question. I checked previous quizzes and although some questions are marked as bonus I still can't see what it means.
For example if we have 4 questions in a quiz 1 bonus and 3 normal. Say, 1 point each.
So if a person answers 3 normal questions, and another answers 2 normal and one bonus they still get 3 points each and have same score.
So it seems there is no difference between a normal questions and a bonus one except for the fact that one is tagged as bonus...

or am I missing something here? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

No, that's about the long and short of it. I prefer bonus questions to be "Double Jeapordy"

Get it right, you get the points. Get it wrong... and you lose double the points it would have been worth.

You are pretty much correct. I guess calling it a bonus just makes it sound so cool [img]tongue.gif[/img] . The exception being that past quizes have had the option to also answer a bonus question from the expansion (ToTSC).

Eh, screw it. I have no argument about this.

[Lord]

Sorry folks, I will need a bit more time to finish up. It will definitely be done before the end of January.

[ZFR]

So Lord, will we be still waiting much longer?

[Dragonshadow]

Our sources say - Yes.

[ZFR]

Well I shouldn't complain. I promised to do my second NWN quiz a year ago, but looks like that is still going to be on hold for quite some time too.

Actually, aside from the 'pictures' portion of the quiz, this trivia has been finished for quite some time. The picture section cannot be completed until around late November until I can get my hands on my BG1 CDs and install the game on my computer (got a new computer and didn't install BG1 on it yet - shame on me).

I think it's fair to say that this is unarguably the most difficult trivia I have made yet. However, it is still the most fun of them all IMO, partly because of the addition of a new section.
