Sporcle

I'm addicted to Sporcle thanks to whoever it was (Lunchbucket?) that linked to it on the other sub-forum. I made a Met quiz. Probably too easy for the folks here. [url]http://www.sporcle.com/games/Bombs/met_hit_leaders. I'll probably make some more when I'm bored watching random playoff games in case this is too easy. I thought about going to 50 guys but wanted to get it up there to see how it looked so I stopped at 25. It'll probably be a pain in the neck updating this thing every year, and I'll probably get bored doing so (or hopefully I'll get a life and stop).

That site gets a lot of hits, 5 people have already played it.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 08 2009 09:41 PM Re: Sporcle |
Nice., Got 19 of 25, simply could remember some off the top of my head. These quizzes are hard for me since they often group things in a different way than my brain stores them
|
The Second Spitter Oct 08 2009 11:08 PM Re: Sporcle |
Things I learnt from this quiz: TSSTSNBN* has as many hits as a Met as Carlos B. I didn;t see that coming.

metsguyinmichigan Oct 08 2009 11:45 PM Re: Sporcle |
I got that shortstop, but missed two 1980s players (don't want to be a spoiler.)

I got 22 before giving up. The three I missed were all from different eras.

I got 20 of 25. Should have had 21, but I spelled one wrong and it didn't take.
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 09 2009 07:31 AM Re: Sporcle |
24 and 25 on the list should be 25 and 24, respectively. Otherwise, great job.
|
Edgy DC Oct 09 2009 07:33 AM Re: Sporcle |
I missed two. Given another two minutes, I likely would have gotten one of them. The other, I'm not so sure.

I noticed that Namor's quiz sometimes accepted more than one answer. For example, for Kitty Pryde I typed "Ariel" and it accepted that, but filled in the answer "Shadowcat."

18/25, missed #2, even.

Chad Ochoseis Oct 09 2009 03:49 PM Re: Sporcle |
Pretty much the same as marathon, except that I got #2 and missed #3. I think #3 would get the nod as "Most Underrated and Easily Forgotten Metly Star".

Nymr83 Oct 09 2009 04:58 PM Re: Sporcle |
they have a presidents one (i missed only Hayes) and a sports teams one with all 4 major sports, the problem there is naming them all in time, i got through the NFL and MLB and then started entering random NBA/NHL teams, ended up 25 teams short, mostly from the nhl.

I scored a pitiful 18 of 100 on the Marvel Comics quiz. I essentially got the Spiderman characters, Fantastic Four characters, and several X-Men characters, Iron Man, and the Hulk. Other than that, I was pretty clueless and the names weren't even vaguely familiar to me. I did get Matt Murdoch (thanks Vic) and I knew Reed Richards and Norrin Radd if they had been on the list.

Edgy DC Oct 11 2009 05:40 AM Re: Sporcle |
There's a 69 Mets by Number Quiz, but I think there's a few errors in it. Either that or I was just too tired to spell some names right given five tries.

Got 36 of the 54 1967 Mets, now that's a stupit hard kwiz. I spent at least a minute figuring out what I was doing wrong with regards to one player, turned out you needed to input his first and last name, where all others were just last name.
