❓Steemit Quiz 2025 - Weeks 15/16
Weeks 13 and 14 have been the quietest so far so I have made the decision to do fortnightly updates and prizes instead of the weekly updates that we've seen so far. If we continue to see such a low number of questions, we'll need to find a different way of continuing the fun with the quiz becoming an added bonus within it.
@disconnect was the winner of weeks 13 & 14 with 4 correct answers, so he will join our other winners in the Hall of Fame below and receive a 10% beneficiary to this post 🏆
👋 We Still Welcome Newcomers
If you're new to the quiz, questions will appear in the comments below and the first person to correctly answer will receive a 100% upvote (worth approx. of $0.78) and most importantly, earn themselves a point.
If you answer the most questions correctly by the end of the week, you will get a 10% beneficiary for next week's post and earn a spot in our Steemit Quiz Hall of Fame!
Keep an eye on the Question Tracker so that you don't miss any questions.
🦮 Guide for Guest Questions
Please try to include the next question number and a category for your question - the Question Tracker will do its best to keep up.
Please also remember to test your questions via Google and ChatGPT - I think you'll be surprised how tricky this is!

Weeks 14/15/16: Question Tracker
Question 2
🤽♂️ Sports 🏊♂️
This 27-meter dive received a zero score. Could you specify what was wrong with this dive?
(This particular move is prohibited in the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series.)
Hint:
A dive is judged based on three key elements:
1.Takeoff
2.Air position
3.Water entry
The answer is basically already there, but I want the specifics. One of these elements is the one you all overlooked.
Nice question. 👍
I would guess that it has something to do with his legs. Just before diving in, he didn't have his legs together and even bent one leg.
That's not it, but you're nearly (just a bit🤏) there. Just the wrong body part. The clue for the prohibited move is in the question itself.
The dive looks spectacular! However, the zero score most likely results from performing a prohibited “flying” dive, including a full somersault. That’s dangerous and therefore cannot be scored.
Almost spectacular... It's a failed dive. The flying dive with a somersault aren’t actually prohibited. There’s one particular detail that makes this dive a definite no-go under Red Bull rules.
The clue for the prohibited move is in the question itself.
Hm. I found out that 27 metres is quite a common height for Red Bull events (platform heights vary between 26.5 and 28 metres depending on the venue).
Unfortunately, I don't have any more ideas (not in relation to the question itself). And I also don't feel like watching the video over and over again... 😂
Speaking of Catholics: the Pope died today. I have to admit that I am deeply touched by this.
Yes, and the clue was in relation to the prohibited move. Anyway, I gave a hint. Watching the video once was actually enough though 😆
I kind of expected it, he was already sick and his health was failing... but honestly, I don't feel anything.
He did not jump in a „diving position“ but put his feet first. So he should have gone into the water with the feet?
✅ I'll accept that answer. You sort of nailed the idea.
The zero score in the 27-meter dive was due to a head-first landing, which is strictly prohibited in men's high diving (27m) under Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, due to safety regulations.
So, yes. He should've gone into the water with the feet. Thankfully, the diver wasn't hurt but he was out of the competition. This event happened only recently though in El Nido, Palawan 😎
Is it because he jumped? Or jumped too high? If the clue's in the question, then maybe the 27m dive wasn't 27m because of the extra elevation?
Is that one answer or 3? Or 4 now? Or 6?
Doesn't matter. All your answers are wrong 😆 I gave a hint.
You went too far 😂
Question 6
🔠 Quördel 4️⃣ (test version exclusive for NO users)
Quördel? You just have to know it's like Wördel.
We are looking for 4 words BUT still you are only allowed to guess one word.
This time you are playing all together. After your guess you have to wait 3 hours but your team mate has not! So take care of a good strategy and good communication!
Each guessed word will give you(r team) one point!
First comment will be easy: GUESS! ...but the second player please waits for my corrections... ;-)

I'm skipping the use of Hahnsen this time, since this Quördel is just the beta test version, and I honestly haven’t even thought myself about where the next attempt should go.
I'll be taking some notes on how to improve the game sense.
Hmm, I was a bit surprised that no one kept playing, too. What about the NO team, for example? @moecki and @event-horizon do like playing Wördel...
Ah well, it'll all work out!
Fact is: @henryclive got the first point with his PLANT (which means there are still three points to give), and Hahnsen loves you.

Nun ist dein Versuch parallel zu meiner Korrektur für Henry gelaufen. Da kannst du ja nichts für und wieder darf Hahnsen noch ein wenig ausschlafen.
Ich korrigiere, aber du darfst - unabhängig von der 3-Std-Regel - sofort weiterraten!

I'm writing this comment because it's become a bit confusing for myself, even though the guesses went directly to me. But the big picture... I love keeping things tidy so much... 😂
I'll think of something, a few ‘rules of procedure’ will be part of it. A separate post? Or do we do another round here?!
Because the absolute bottom line is:
It was FUN and must not remain a one-off event !!!

Question 1
🍽 Food and Drink🍺
I went to my friend's place yesterday and decided to cook this:
Can you identify the dish and name its five basic ingredients?
Spaghetti Carbonara?
Pasta, meat, cheese, eggs, black pepper.
✅ You're correct. It is carbonara. Could you specify which types of meat and cheese are traditionally used in this dish?
Pork:
Guanciale (cheek) or Pancetta (belly). Both has to be air-dried!
Cheese:
Pecorino. Nothing else!
It’s NO team‘s point but Hira‘s vote.
Thank you for the question!!!
✅That’s exactly the details I was looking for. You get half the point, but of course, the full point goes to NO team nonetheless 😎
Apologies for the question - maybe not the best timing. But just to clarify, I’m not Catholic and don’t follow traditional Lent practices...
Hä? Now don't get weird... Great question at exactly the right time.
I think Muslims can also answer questions about pork, even though they don't eat it. I "have to" read articles about sheep being sacrificed... ;-)
Catholics and Good Friday you mean? Well. If you're very devout, you don't eat meat on that day, but you're certainly allowed to read about it... ;-)
You're right. I should've realised that🤦♂️ - makes perfect sense now...
Off-topic:
Where's your wördel?!
Ummm, I would use chicken and parmesan. But you might have added pork...?
You're right about the pork, but traditionally, which cut do Italians use?
I have no idea. Google says cheeks. 😀
That's correct!
Chriddi nailed the detail for you 🙂
I did for our team. But it’s your vote, of course!
No question for a Muslim - and you won’t ever ask which meat is best for Eid, will you?… ;-)
Question 4
🕒 Sequences 🕕
Please identify the next destination in the sequence:
From El Nido’s coves where islands sleep,
To Polignano’s cliffs where sea and stone meet,
Then Mostar’s bridge, where rivers sigh-
What place awaits beneath the sky?
Boston Harbour - It's the next venue for Red Bull's Cliff Diving World Series.
✅ Nailed it! Was it too obvious? 😅
Once I discovered what was significant about those 3 places (Red Bull Diving), I just had to look up this year's venues and it was quite obvious then, especially given your previous question 🙂
Question 5
🔢 Mathematical Sports ⚽
What mathematical equation can connect the following English Premier League Champions?
Blackburn Rovers
Leicester City
Liverpool
Arsenal
Chelsea
Man City
Man Utd

Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2

✅ Correct! Following Liverpool clinching the league title last weekend and securing their 2nd title of the Premier League era, they've completed the Fibonacci sequence!
@chriddi was close, but the AI let her down. You have secured the point for NO team 🙂
0.00 SBD,

I don't know why she chose to check AI first but not Wikipedia. 😀
I read somewhere she's on holiday so I had to step in and secure the point for our team.
0.00 SBD,
0.66 STEEM,

She thought it was easier on mobile to ask the AI a question than to look up every single club on the Wiki. Of course, the question had to be shortened and simplified - after all, it’s pretty clear no formula is going to be spit out by an AI checked by the gorilla... 😉
Thanks for the team point... 🤗

f(x) = mx + b?
f(x) is the league position (lower is better).
x is the investment amount.
m shows how the investment improves the position (negative slope meaning more money = better results).
b is the starting position before the investment.
That is to say these clubs won the Premier League title after receiving significant investment (which of course isn't entirely accurate...)
Honestly, I have no idea 🥲

Haha, I had absolutely no idea where to start. So I first asked the AI how often the teams had become champions. As you know, I don't trust blindly and consulted a second AI. Haha, you see, that alone doesn't get you anywhere... 😂
So I better should wait until I get home and MIGHT sit down at the computer tonight... 😉

Well, it would appear that AI doesn't know how many times each team has won the Premier League 🤣

I have long hated AI (in this public form offered to everyone) and am very apprehensive about the development. Simply because there are far too many people who rely on it. And there are just as many people who switch off their thinking and reasoning as soon as it says ‘BUT the AI has said...’

Question 3
Movie Magic
🎥 Movie Magic 🎬
What movie is the image below depicting?
Note: This game has a different name in German
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
✅ Correct!
After seeing this, the only name that came to mind is Penguin of Madagascar. I can't explain why, but this is what it is.
👎 I'd be very interested in understanding where that came from!
It looks like the Center Park Zoo of NY. Few animals here and there. That's make me think this way.
Turbo (2013)
👎 henryclive is correct - the board game is "The Cuckoo's Nest" so the answer is "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
The question about the name of the game would have been my next one :-)
Oh. Yes. There is a snail on the track!
🤔
Question 7

Question 8
🔠 Quördel 4️⃣ (2nd test version exclusive for NO users)
The first Quördel was a complete success for the (few) participants – above all, it was a lot of fun! Many thanks to the "test subjects" – I hope you'll keep playing under the modified rules (my observations suggest they’re necessary...).
Guess away! But please also give feedback, because only a perfect game may leave trial mode... 😉
So... Here you've already seen how the game works in general. Now for the details:
Got it?! Have fun!
Yeah, maybe we could keep the fun going by occasionally posting some of the funniest Steemit quiz moments now and then - or even turning them into a quiz! Ah, I think I've got one myself... 😁
Sometimes, we just need a random place to come and chew the fat. The quiz was always quite good for that. Plenty of randomness was order of the day.
I'll make more of an effort to get a few questions in. I'm grateful to you for getting a few questions in too 🙂
Just keep it as is but don't take it away completely. Maybe this is just a phase. 🙂
