I'm pretty confident about how I did. I'm not sure if that's a good sign or not, but we'll see when the results come in! I wish everyone the best of luck.

I've been wanting to get back from work as soon as possible to type these results, because I read messages and saw some of the results during break, and it is getting interesting.

Surgiac : 1884 (+114)
Light Knight : 1499 (+168)
Singelli : 1087 (+148)
Eva-Janova : 1002 (+86)
pray75 : 853 (-120) [Successful Sling Attack]
mrfe : 555 (+62)
Hoochman : 438 (0)
thing1 : 360 (0)
Kathrine May Thomson_: 90 (0)
Eirinn_: 49 (0)
Pokefreak219 : -65 (+8)

As I receive these results, I kept thinking..."oooo, this might be the one that no one is able to answer complete correct. I finally stumped all of them!" And then Light Knight came in and got all of them right. (Party pooper!) I am very sorry to pray75. You've gotten more than half right in your results, but you were 12 seconds over half the time restraint, which means the sling attack on you was successful and you lost 120 points, falling from 3rd to 5th. This opens up the way for Singelli and Eva, who is currently 3rd and 4th, respectively, while making it a tight race for third. Man, this is such a twist of events happening, and I REALLY REALLY want to say the identity of the slinger, but I'm forced to hold my tongue. Light Knight is getting closer to Surgiac, but still has a long way to go. Can he make up the lost points with the time remaining?

You only have Day 27, 28, and 29 left to make a sling move. Know that if two people make the sling move on the same person on the same day, the effect is only once on the slinger, so either one of them wasted their sling, or if they fail, they both suffer the consequences. Use them wisely. Most of you still have your slings.

Day 27 will be up soon. I was just finishing up the game between LA and Spurs. #GoSpursGo

In the meantime, here are the results:

Jeremiah lamented on how sea monsters/jackals nurse their young, but Israel has become as cruel as this animal. ? Ostrich,
Proverbs tells lazy people to follow the examples of this animal. ? Ant,
Samson tied pairs of 300 of these animals with a torch, setting fire to the Philistines' crops. ? Fox,
When Jesus said not to be afraid, He said we are worth more than this animal. ? Sparrow,
The Egyptian plagues has them, John the Baptist eats them, and similar creatures appear in Revelation. ? Locust,
These animals devour the evil queen Jezebel. ? Dog,
Isaiah described that those who trust in the Lord will soar high like these animals. ? Eagle,
Solomon's trading ships receive these animals when describing his wealth in 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles. ? Ape,
When the Israelites where hungry under Moses, God provided them manna and this animal. ? Quail,
Noah released this animal to see if there is land. ? Dove

I have to say, some of you, I was impressed with the answers you were able to get right. Others...well, let's just say that I thought that you could have put in a little more thought into answering them. (I'm talking to the one who said that Ostriches are represented as hard working animals.)

Oh, bother! It was definitely a good move on whoever's part to hit me. I definitely hesitated to submit the question and switched a couple of them around before doing so... That made all of the difference, I see!

Oh wow... I was so certain I did well!  LOL
(To those wondering, my last post here was all a joke. XD)

I thought I got all of them, but I swapped ostrich and ape.  I didn't know either of those were mentioned in the bible!  Now I want to go find the verses!!!!!  I can't believe I swapped them though.. .I felt so certain! hehe!  That's very, very interesting.    I love learning through this quiz.  

And ... I almost fell out of my chair.  Not to hurt the mysterious person's feelings but.... ostrich for the hard worker?



I really, REALLY need that laugh! XD  Thank you so much!!! hehehehe!

Singelli : MY EYES! MY EYES! Crazy hopeful faces!!!

If that made you almost fall out of your chair, you'd fall the rest of the way picturing what I said God fed the Israelites.

Surgiac :  O.o
*imagines what you said, given all the options*

Oh, tell me, tell me!!!!!!

27. As Christians, when we are saved, it doesn't matter what background or ethnicity we are, for our identity is in Christ. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28) It is also noted that the gift of salvation is given to all, no matter what background you are. Still, we see different nationalities in the Bible and being a key part of God's story. Today, we will test your knowledge on the nationalities of these people. You have 2 minutes to match 6 nationalities.

Weird, I clicked submit with 70 seconds left and it just reset my answers without resetting my time. Thankfully I remembered what I had answered, and it took me 15 seconds to click submit again. That was weird...

I didn't find that one as hard, though I probably messed up going quick again. lol

Interesting....Very interesting...

Day 27 is closed. Here are the results.

Surgiac : 1896 (+12)
Light Knight : 1563 (+64)
Singelli : 1059 (-28)
pray75 : 1043 (+190)
Eva-Janova : 1002 (0)  
mrfe : 595 (+40)
Hoochman_: 438 (0)
thing1_: 360 (0)
Kathrine May Thomson_: 90 (0)
Eirinn_: 49 (0)
Pokefreak219_: -65 (+8)

I wasn't really expecting this to be that difficult. I though the nationalities are distinctive enough that it would be too easy, but most of you who participated struggled this round. pray75 was the only one that got all of the answers correct and did so in less than a minute. He made up from the sling attack that happened previously and is now back in the tight race for 3rd. Other than that, everyone else got 50% or less of the descriptions correctly, which means anyone would have been the perfect candidate to be slung. Yet, everyone played it safe today. With only 2 days left that you can use the sling, people might be overlapping if they use it on the same person.

Here are the answers:
Philip the Evangelist baptized this person after riding with him in a chariot and was converted.  → Ethiopian,
The wife of Solomon that was particularly mentioned out of the 700 in 1 and 2 Kings. (Married for an alliance and the father invaded Gezer as a gift for the daughter) → Egyptian,
Paul had a vision by this person begging him to go to their location and help. → Macedonian,
People who controlled Jerusalem before David conquered it.  → Jebusite,
These people conquered the Northern Kingdom of Israel  → Assyrian,
Jesus talked to this "woman at the well" about living water.  → Samaritan

Question 28 will come up in a couple of hours.

play4fun : Fortunately for me, I actually knew all but one of them, but the process of elimination really made that clear. For whatever reason, these things stick to me more than most things. It's like today, we had a service and read about the ten lepers Jesus healed, with only one (the Samaritan) returning to give thanks go Jesus for healing him. I'll probably never forget that now.

play4fun : I hate being in stupid Britain! I'm always late! Why time zone why!?

Oh well never though I'd get this far anyway.

Well, positive points is positive... Hopefully I can start doing better though.

Now, just waiting on that next quiz...

*hopes he chose right* I think I chose right, but I was go quick like speedy ninja, so who knows! Lol! I like the trash ones! XD

Day 28 is still open. Finish that AND 29 before midnight. Today is the LAST day to use the sling. If you do use it, let me know which quiz you are slinging. If you don't use it at all, expect the 60 point bonus in your score after tonight.


29. I'm really hungry today...maybe it's because I didn't eat breakfast. Anyways, we humans need food to gain energy and be filled, and we see that in the Bible many times where food becomes a part of their lives, sometimes with extra significance. Today, we are matching foods. 2 minutes, 6 matches.

I'm not answering 28. I didn't do well with the first garbage question, and I don't think I want to give it a shot. The 29 was kind of hard, but I think I did alright with it. We'll see for sure in a little bit.

Due to me preparing for a test on Friday and the possibility of me needing to fix something on the quiz account, the GRAND FINALE won't be here till Saturday. If you still haven't done Day 28 or Day 29 when you wanted to attempt them, tonight is your FINAL chance to answer them. Tonight is also your FINAL chance to throw the sling if you are planning to.

By midnight EST tonight, I will be tallying the scores before the GRAND FINALE. This is also hinting to you all that you should consider reading up Numbers before I post the final quiz. The questions that I am planning to make should be pretty straight forward and I won't be holding anything back in this quiz. If there is nothing else, I wish everyone happy reading!

Day 28 and 29 are officially closed. Phew...at first, I thought I lost all my results because my account expired, but the help center was able to give me an extra day so I don't have to pay $50 to upgrade my account.

Here are the results:
Surgiac : 2149 (+68)(+125) [Sling remained: +60]
Light Knight : 1932 (+104)(+205) [Sling remained: +60]
Singelli : 1397 (+68)(+210) [Sling remained: +60]
Eva-Janova : 1225 (+43)(+120) [Sling remained: +60]
pray75 : 1178 (0)(+176)
mrfe : 691 (+96)(0)
Hoochman : 498 (0)(0) [Sling remained: +60]
thing1 : 420 (0)(0) [Sling remained: +60]
alr256 : 219 (+72)(+87) [Sling remained: +60]
Kathrine May Thomson_: 150 (0)(0) [Sling remained: +60]
Eirinn_: 109 (0)(0) [Sling remained: +60]
Pokefreak219_: -65 (0)(0)

Welcome alr256! You might be a little slow in arriving to the competition, but you still got some points going. Surgiac is still commanding the lead but Light Knight keeps getting closer and closer. This final quiz on Numbers on Saturday might decide the winner. Singelli is moving further away in holding third place, but it is still a tight battle for 3rd between her, Eva, and pray75. The rest are remain in their positions but a close battle is still for 6th place.

Like I said, it all comes down to this final quiz to determine the final rankings for the April Bible Trivia. The quiz should be out on Saturday and will remain open for the following days. This quiz has A LOT of points to gain or lose, so anything can still happen. The book you will be tested on is Numbers, so if you have time, go through the book and be ready for the final quiz. Thank you all for participating in this. I'll see you all Saturday!

play4fun : I normally wouldn't complain about this sort of thing but being in a different time zone is about to prevent me from taking part in the final round of this amazing fun quiz!

I am out the entire saturday and sunday morning (when the time zones best colide) due to volunteering and church.

Is there no way I can take part marginally late?
