Take the Quiz!

Recommended Posts

Too many questions that AREN'T fly fishing related or require deeper knowledge. I.E. where certain records were caught and scientific names. I got 50%.




Still, nice work kid. I hope more members try it ... without Googling the answers. I suspect that's how you got the knowledge for some of those questions, yes?

Yeah I actually googled them. It was actually for school. I couldn't figure out and other fly fishing related stuff. The Yellowfin tuna thing was to give a little challenge.

Got 50. .........The question "What is the name of the construction of flies? " No idea what the "right" answer is supposed to be for the quiz, but I don't see how it could be anything other than what I put in and it said it was wrong lol

I put "tying" and it gave me a wrong answer. So I should have had 60 lol

I had a couple that I also thought were "challengeable", but I guess in something like this, the computer can't think, and requires exact matches.

It's easy enough to allow for multiple correct answers, though, or to just look for a keyword like "tying".

 

Also, the "correct" answer is misspelled on at least one of the questions.

 

Still, a laudable effort, and if you're just learning to program, it's always good to program something you're interested in.

It is a school project, done by a teenager (or close, I can't remember which).


I guess, for any "nay sayers", program a quiz of your own that is better!


When computers were "new", I had a "Commodore 64". In order to play games on that, I had to program them in. We had to buy a magazine, with all the lines of code to create the game. Took days to get it all typed in.


THEN came floppy disc with the games already on them. Halle-frickin-lullah !!!


I hated programming ... and I'm somewhat impressed by anyone who is good at it.

I made this one a few years ago using perl. (I don't even know if it still works!) The graphics are terrible and the database is pretty small, but I have yet to find the time to make improvements. I remember it was actually an enjoyable challenge.

BTW I scored 20 on your quiz. (Greece was where the first flies were tied. Right?)

Oh, I give him plenty of credit. I said above that everything he said was Greek to me.

 

If you want a quiz from me, I'll take a picture of tonight's Final Jeopardy question, and post a picture of it. That's about as techy as I can get!
