Hmmm I wonder how this game works. I have a sudoku game on my PDA. You can clear the grid, stick in the numbers you want, for example the puzzle in a paper and hit solve and it will do all the hard work for you ;) I wonder if that would help on this game :) However, I guess one problem is you have t...

A simpler way would would be to duel down the ages with immortal type beings (taking care not to get your head cut off) until you are the only who remains. The 'Prize' for this is the ability to know everything, thus saving you countless hours of revision and meaning you have waged a 600 year battl...

I guess the way I see it is for example you play one game - you get a question wrong and it pops up the correct answer. If you see the question again you are more likely to remember the correct answer just because you have seen the question before. So if you simply read through the list - if the que...

Question databases on the internet is the lazymans attempt at getting rich. Most questions are easily answered by investing in (a) a computer (b)a decent set of books (c) by deduction from actually playing the game. Perhaps it would be a good idea to run a subject ' book list ' & ' useful site ...

I have created a wiki site using the wikimedia software. Click my web address. The site functions pretty much the same way as wikipedia allowing users to edit the pages and contribute. To edit pages you need to register. Registered users can add to the questions and use the discussion pages to discu...

I am currently working on a Wikimedia installation to create a wiki for this purpose and it is coming along promisingly. If allowed, when I have got the settings right I will post the link here.

If anyone does want to start work on a question and answer list, it'll need to be in a format that is similar across the board. --8<-- So, what does everyone (who's interested) think? :) I am currently looking into installing some sort of wiki on my existing domain name and webspace to see if that ...

Agreed, a revision list would be a good idea. A 'spoiler' list would be ideal! Although these will be harder to recall... :) On a side note, I was after a list of questions and their answers for a quiz game I'm programming, although no-one has found anything yet. Looks like i better get typing... :...

The only feasible way (and you'd have to be bloody quick!) would be to have it all stored in a simple database on a palm top (or similar) that you could access 'real time' whilst playing the machine. Is it not also feasible to have a revision list? Ok an easy question here as an example. Which team...

Yes - I guess I dreampt this idea up while playing the game and keeping on getting those questions that killed me off just before getting to the money round in deal or no deal (and also noticing I got some of the same questions again and again) - I couldn't help thinking "what if I knew the ans...

I was thinking of it as more of sort of a "revision list" :) so hopefully when you see the question - you remember the answer :)

I'll see if a few other people reply and think about how to set it up. Just thinking of maybe a forum and a standard HTML page - as opposed to a wiki.

Questions - and answer lists??

Hi everyone! I am new here. I have read through the forums and noticed there are examples of questions and answers where mistakes have obviously been made by the programmer/question devisor. However, I was wondering if anywhere had a list of questions with answers. As the same questions tend to pop ...
