Re: Lose The Questions

Some of the questions are stupidly stupid ie - the oppinion ones

I'm sure it was brought up in a round 15 CH and something would be done about the unreadable text... still waiting

I know you're able to refresh the page if you don't know the answer or if you can't read the text but that's just as annoying, especially if you get three or more un-answerable questions in a row.

Re: Lose The Questions

the questions pre r16 were ok, you could read them, questions weren't heard to answer, you got in after 1 try (unless you're a retard).
plz pa-team change them back to the way they were, caus this is rediculous, refreshing 7-8 times till i can read the question... (and no, i'm not blind)

Re: Lose The Questions

Some of the capitals ones annoy me, its one thing to ask "Whats the capital of France" or "Whats the capital of Englan" as those are major countries that everyone should know HOWEVER when you get outside the 5-10 major nations with obvious capitals it can be tough. I mean WTF is the capital of lithuania, and how do you spell the capital of romonia.

Also questions like "Will you be closed if you cheat" which want an answer of yes are clearly telling lies as we all know that its not guarenteed and more often than not you lose some of your roids, ships and your xp rather than the whole account.

Whover took over writing the questions in the last round or so really needs to take a long hard look at them and get back to questions more like before which a bot cant answer without having a db of questions and answers but which anyone can answer easierly

Why not just a few random characters/cyphers? like BF4S2. No bot will know and it's a lot easier than having 50 questions ready which get randomly picked out.... And everyone can read it.

What was the first name of Maria Theresia?
Where did the congress of Vienna take place?

Re: Lose The Questions

Google is your friend, so is wikipedia. Anyone who needs over 3-4 tries is not very bright. In average, 2 tries are more than enough.
The only really annoying thing are the math questions, but only because it's hard to distinguish between the math operators ( +, -, * )

Because its not that challenging to write a script to decode the image, in fact you could probally downloads a script to do it it. Something a script cant do is answer logic questions. The downfall in PA's system however is that all too often theres too few questions, questions are used for too long a period and often follow set patterns which make it easier to put together a question and answer database.

We need a largish number of logical questions, that are completely replaced on a regular basis and the should have one, easy to spell and widly known answer for it to be mpst effective

I think you're missing the point. Planetarion users want bot-stopper questions not thick-people stopper questions.

And as much as the capital questions are not entirely worthless, for anything else, the last thing I want to do is research my login question before logging in.

Re: Lose The Questions

I think if there are enough questions, they accomplish their objective at 100% of not letting bots access the game. But they fail the objective of letting legitimate users log in quite often, because there is that one font which is really unreadable, and that capital font which often writes things out of the image. Fix those two fonts, and 99% of the questions should be answerable (even if you need Google).

Almost every captcha which doesn't use logical questions, but some kind of fix system, has been cracked, so this really is the best way to avoid bot usage.

Re: Lose The Questions

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in one thread. However I have to agree with idimmu, I'm not done with calculus (only in calculus II atm), but I really have no idea what 2 <3 4 is or 5 # 8. Unless it's beyond calculus II (which is a bit much to expect most of the geniouses around here to know) I really don't think they're real operations.

Re: Lose The Questions

I would prefer to see a question regarding how much wooden material a small furry animal could throw any distance if it was determined that it really was capable of throwing such wooden objects.






(How much wood could a woodchuck chuck......... ) in case there was anyone who didn't get it =/

And on topic...if you see a question that's buggered, just refresh the page until you get one you can answer. The questions are *usually* alright, but yes, there are a few that appear to be completely out to lunch.

Hit F5, and you should get a new question.

Having the bot stoppers cause a very minor inconvenience but giving PA the ability to be mostly bot-free is a price I don't mind paying tbh.

Re: Lose The Questions

I think the "capital of __country__" questions should be changed. Either that or expanded to include countries like Brunei, Kazakhstan, and Palau.

Re: Lose The Questions

Put up 3 or 4 pictures of supermodels and let the user sort them by attractiveness. They might still get it wrong, but its a lot more fun to fail.

Or do a "Spot the Looney" game like Monty Python did.

For people with a microphone you could show a textline from a song, play the song and demand they sing the text and rate their singing. Just imagine how much advertisement you get from annoyed neighbours or flatmates when they ask why you keep singing Dj Bobo songs at 4 am in the morning.

Make a tiny flash-game where 10 colored balls fall down and ask the user to catch the pink ball with green stripes. Tons of possibilities with these little games (Whack the Forum-Mod anyone? - or do a Senseo type challenge

Show 5 pictures and ask the user which one is a car (you could show 4 FIATs and one Ferrari for example

etc. blah

Re: Lose The Questions

I keep getting asked to solve the sum

8 <3 8 = ?

Apparently "lots of baby eights" is not the correct answer.

Re: Lose The Questions

planetarion isnt designed for mobiles, its designed for computers.
If you can play it on your phone is just an added bonus for you but its not by design
If your phone has a zoom capability for web pages, i suggest you see if that works?
