Yes, "kitten" is one of the correct answers.

Anyway, I got that message before sevral times. Whenever I try to paste, my PC asks me if I want to allow access to my clipboard. I have to click "allow" 3 times. How do I make it stop doing that?

I don't have that issue, I only click on one "Allow". Maybe it has to do with software you have installed for additional system protection (antivirus, Windows Defender etc.).

I don't know what it is, but it looks like Windows.

Final scores will be up tomorrow. That is all. Oh, and the winner is by less than a point :)

I have a few things to point out regarding the last round of your quiz.

1. I recently played through all time zones of the stage in question (Metallic Madness Act 2), and I didn't see any spinning platforms or "spinning razor blades" anywhere in the level. Those objects are only present in Act 1 or 3 of Metallic Madness Zone as far as I know, so I think you must've somehow confused the acts with each other. I don't think the question deserve to be scrapped though, I think I should get full credit for my many answers.

2. Your question is about who in the original Sonic game YU2 is, and YU2 is clearly listed as the programmer which was Yuji Naka. Moreover, "Yuji Naka" never shows up in the credits as opposed to what you claim in your answer. YU2 shows up under "Program" (which is only the second credit in the order btw) and Yuji Naka was the programmer of the game. So my answer can't possible be wrong.

4. Wait what, you gave DoctorEggman half credit for giving you a random and totally incorrect statement from the game? Anyone could've given you a random incorrect answer if they wanted to! Anyhow, I went and played the 3rd bonus stage in Sonic Spinball again to check the answer, and a different exclamation is actually used for each two scratch bots you destroy in succession. "NAILED!" is used when the first two bots are smashed, for the next two "SCORE MOVE" flashes, "FACED!!!" (which is the answer you picked) only displays for the 5th and 6th, and when the last two go it says "HOG POWER". Therefore this question is invalid, because you're only asking for a single word even though there are clearly 4 different exclamations used when destroying the bots marching around the capsule.

5. I clearly stated 3 Bar = 20 Rings in my answer, not 30. Moreover, 3 Bar's in a single spin actually grants 20 Rings and not 10 as you claim, and Tails pays off 25 Rings rather than 20. sonicphc, do you seriously even know the answers to your own questions?

A minor piece of knowledge: No two slot characters give off the same amount of Rings when you get all three of them, because that would make having them both redundant would it not?

6. This question is a bit unfair, actually. My first answer was going to be "Sun", but I realised that the right answer could also be "Earth" because the Moon (Tails) tags along with Earth (Sonic) as it travels around the Sun (Synonymous to travelling around the globe which Sonic and Tails both does; The world is round and goes in circles, and just like Sonic do with the world, the Earth also rapidly travels around the sun). Now since I couldn't provide more than one answer as your rules limited the option, I had to choose between one of them and went with "Earth" because I thought it fit better and had a somewhat deeper resemblance; the Earth/Moon partner traveling aspect. In fact, I'd even go as far as to say that my answer to the question is more correct than yours.

I suspected that the answer you had chosen as correct would be Star because that likening is more obvious and easier to notice at a glance, because the Sun shines brighter above the Moon and the Moon merely reflects a small part of the Sun's rays to the world instead of shining on it's own accord. This symbolises how Tails reflect part of Sonic's light onto the world as a secondary character, instead of shining with his own light. Though, I left this guess and went with Earth instead for reasons stated previously.

Am I right in stating that there were multiple valid answers for this question, even while only one of them was chosen as correct by you?

7. If I understand what you mean, then aren't they both related to Robotnik by first degree? (That's much closer than the "6 degrees" vague relation you inferred, not that I don't get you.)

12. What I meant to say was that all four Chao stats are increased so I was mostly right, but I happened to be unclear in my answer. Also I have read before that Chao's intelligence are affected a small amount by blue animals, is it not true?

Tie Breaker. As far as I know, Sonic does break Newton's Second Law of Motion when rolling, so how is my answer invalid in that case?

Though what I really intended with my answer was to address the 'Conservation of angular momentum' aspect, but I hadn't read about the Laws of Conservation before so I settled for the best I could think of at the time. In this case 'Newton's Second Law of Motion' has a similar function to the Momentum conservation laws, except that Newton's second law isn't specifically made to conserve momentum, but the relation here is still directly implied because the law limits acceleration of momentum instead. As I understand the Second Law of Motion, it's true that Sonic violates it when rolled into a ball because he suddenly gains momentum greater than the applied force (which is especially evident in half-pipes), and thus fits the description of the tie breaker question. I should get at least some credit for a valid answer, if not full because I actually answered the tie breaker question properly.


You're right in that this round's quiz was 'uber' hard, in fact, some of the questions in your quiz were so hard that not even the quiz creator got the right answer to them... Seriously sonicphc, it would be better if you really verified that all the answers are right before posting. Overall though, I must say that those were quite good quizes.

Really, your complaints are kind of obnoxious. I mean, I guess I could understand complaining to me if it had severely affected your score, but you still won, so... And yes, I know there were multiple correct answers to certain questions and I only took one. I kind of said that at the beginning of the quiz... Newton's second law is not violated. All the second law says is F=MA, and since we don't the magnitudes of the forces acting on Sonic, his mass, or his acceleration, there's no way of proving that. What you have described (the sudden gain of momentum) is a violation of Newton's first law, that an object will not change its motion unless a force is applied. #6 is definitely Star. Casino Night Zone, Sonic 2. #7 They are related by the first degree. I was just explaining why I felt your response was too vague. #12 Intelligence is not affected by blue animals. At least, not that I've seen ever since I loaded my chao with blue animals and chacked the stats and the intelligence was still 0. To my knowledge the only way to do it is by smart fruit (VIA VMU) or purchasing something in the GC version.

Yeah, on #6, "Earth" makes a much better answer. I had no idea that was a Casino Night referance. LOL! The panels don't mean anything on that stage, they just make the level more interesting as far as graphics go. All in all, you make good quizes, sonicphc, but you shouldn't do it on your own.  You should run it by someone first. I'd gladly forfeit future quiz participation to do my best at proof-reading the quizes before you post them. :) That way they'll be less frustrating and have less errors in them.
