Welcome to the thread of the very first Vizzed.com's Monthly Bible Trivia Contest. I'm your host, play4fun. There will be one question everyday that must be answered within 60 seconds. The faster you answer, the more points you gain or lose. You get 50 Viz for every question that you participate on time and the participant who has the most points at the end of the month wins 10,000 Viz and is declared the Winner (or Champion, or Master, or Victor, whatever title you want to be called) of BTC in April.

I'M JUST KIDDING!!! APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...I'm sorry, what? You...you don't find this funny? But...(sigh)....and they say God created people with a sense of humor... 



1. Welcome to first day of the Bible Trivia Contest, April Edition. I just felt like starting this contest with a bang. One of the great things about being the game host is that I can do whatever I want to make this interesting and fun, so expect twists for these next couple of days. Speaking of April Fools, today's topic will be related to the topic of fools. When we think about the word "fool," we tend to mean "stupid" or "unintelligent." However, there are certain verses in the Bible that uses the word "fool" in a different way due to the Hebrew word used to describe "fool". Let's see if you can remember what the Psalmist say about these types of fools. REMEMBER, NO CHEATING! Here's the link: http://quizegg.com/q/70404

play4fun :  Sorry, bud but.... well, you didn't catch me off guard!  I was already put on guard by Pokefreak219, so you have her to thank!

Ooooh, themed questions?!?!  How awesome is that!  I'll be registering and trying my hand in a moment.  I can't wait!  You're doing a great job already!  Woohoo!

EDIT:  Just answered the first question!  I think I'm doing great already!    Will you post the answers here after each day is over, or does the site give the answer?  I'm pretty sure I got it right, so I wouldn't know if it tells you when you're wrong.  

Also, in case anyone is deterred by the whole registration thing... registering is super easy and quick. You don't even have to provide an email address or confirm.  Now THOSE are the kinds of sites I don't mind registering to!  You can register and log in immediately within just a few seconds.

I dun it! I really hope I remembered to read the question through tho. If I read it right, then I got it right. I think. XD

Singelli : hahaha, what do you mean that Pokefreak had your guard up? Yeah, I didn't reveal the answer to avoid any type of cheating. You'll see the answer tonight.

mrfe : You'll know by tonight, lol. Btw, neither of you followed my rule about how to input your name when registering, but oh well. I recognize that it is you two.

This is for those who expressed interest previously, just in case they forgot that today was April 1st:
Eirinn :
Hoochman :
Dragonlord Stephi :
Eva-Janova :
BluemageKyle :
Sword legion :
Txgangsta :

I am a bit confused here. Is there only a minute from the time this was posted? If so I'm already too late.

Eirinn : One minute from the second you click start on the quiz.

Eirinn : Sorry, what mrfe said. Was I not clear in my statement or rules?

I never read them. I figured they were the original rules, so I tried to save time, since I thought the timer had already started. By the time I realized a minute had passed, I had forgotten about the rules link. Sorry about that. I'm really forgetful.

Eirinn : wait, so hang on a minute. Does this mean that you didn't answer the question and just the timer go?

No, I didn't register. I was waiting to hear back about how long I had.

I hope you keep that first name secret. I've never shared that with anyone before. lol!

What a first day and the standings are already quite tight.

Here are the current standings so far:
1. Surgiac: 55 points
1. mrfe: 55 points
3. Singelli: 51 points
4. Eirinn: 49 points

The difference in seconds is marginal and this is still anybody's game. Let me know if I forgot to send in your Viz for participating the question.

I would like to remind everyone that anyone can still catch up because if these competitors get a question wrong, they get negative points and you can easily pass them if you get your questions right! Come join the contest!

Answer to yesterday's question:
Q: "According to the Psalmist (King David in this case), what does a "fool" say in his heart?"

A: "There is no God"

Explanation: From Psalm 14:1 and Psalm 53:1, they state "The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”" The Hebrew word for "fool" here does not mean an unintelligent person, but an impious person. It is a person that is vile and corrupt. These types of "fools" will say in their hearts "there is no God."

Alright, onto Day 2!









2. Zzzzzzzzz.......wh...what? Oh sorry. I fell asleep because I already feel BORED with this quiz format. I need something new!!!!! So here is a new format I like to call speed datin....ahem, I mean....speed matching. You will have 6 descriptions along with 6 answers. You have 1 minute to match 6 correct pairs together. The scoring would be that each correct match is 10 pts, each wrong match is -10 pts, and each second remaining on the clock would be the extra points that you would gain in the total. So if you got 5 right and 1 wrong, with 17 seconds left on the clock, you would get 50-10+17 = 57 pts. Got it? Ok.

Alright, today's topic. We know that names in the Bible are quite unique with one another and there are not a lot of overlappings that exist in there. From my research, the name that is most used in the Bible is Simon. So today, we shall test your knowledge of the "Simons" in the Bible. Match the description of a person in the Bible to the correct "Simon." Remember, NO CHEATING, and you don't need to answer the question of the day if you are not sure or not wanting to risk losing points. Link: http://quizegg.com/q/70439

I have decided that I was not made to study theology and haven't read enough of my bible!

Eva-Janova : awww...don't say that. Everyone should say that we should know our Bible more. That's partially the point of this contest, so that we can all know more about our Bibles. Although, some of these questions might not be THAT important to really memorize.

I just saw your attempt, did you no click finish?

Whoops...summon fail for current scores.

Surgiac :
mrfe :
Singelli :
Eirinn :

*facepalm* I totally failed that. I need to know my Bible better! Well, at least I won't lose too much. lol. It took me like 56 seconds. :/ Man, that stinks! You're good at this...

I took a little bit longer today.... hopefully that won't come back to bite me.

I somehow managed to take fifteen seconds, despite knowing the answer before reading the question (the comment posted here with the April fools reference gave it away). Man I'm slow. lol

Edit: I think I'll have to drop out. My phone's too slow, I lose too much time loading pages, and with a screen this size, pinch zoom and scrolling kills my time. I actually ran out of time today. I can't blame my speed yesterday on my phone though, since I was actually on a pc.

Keep up the good work though, play4fun. It's been a good contest, with good quality questions. Nice work here, man.

I just checked the results and I don't think people are very happy with me right now (hiding behind my desk). At the same time, there are also surprising results from a few of you. You'll know tonight how you did.

Hoochman :
Eva-Janova :
Do you remember what you picked before the time went off the clock? If you can, please pm me.

Eirinn : Just do what you can. You don't need to tell me if you are dropping out or not. If you feel like answering a question on a certain day, you can do so. Who knows, the other people's scores might fluctuate and you might even still be competitive even though you don't answer every question. This question might have been a little too tight in the timing (which I have been pondering whether I should have done 1 minute or 2 minutes. I stuck with 1 minute in hoping that competitors would consider going for partial credit.) Anyways, it's up to you. I'll be aware of my questions for the future.
