Rules quiz
 

To help our team members, especially the newer ones, test their knowledge of the rules we are in the process of creating quizzes based on the game manual. We've completed the Game and Arena quizzes, and are working on the Rules quiz now. You can check them out at http://www.squidoo.com/logomotion-rules.

Keep in mind these are at a deliberately high level, meant to ensure a basic understanding of main rules of the game. (A really thorough quiz would be as long as the manual!)

If you do take the quizzes, please let us know what you think, and especially let us know if you think we've screwed something up. We don't want to be the source of any misleading or wrong information.

Posted a new quiz, this one on Bumpers, at http://www.squidoo.com/quiz-logomoti...-robot-bumpers. Like the others, 10 question multiple choice.

So far, about 150 people have taken the quizzes. Based on the limited stats Squidoo provides, it looks like most people that take the Games quiz are scoring 80%, while the scores on the Arena quiz are pretty evenly spread out 70% and 100%.

Calling you on Games questions 8 and 9.

Question 8: <G06>. Nothing about possession.

Question 9: <G63>. One of the two (not saying which) doesn't count.

That's why folks are getting 80.

Re: Rules quiz
 

I'm calling you on you calling them.

Question 8: The correct quiz answer is B "B. Each robot must be in contact with one ubertube, and only one robot can be in contact with each ubertube" which matches <G06>.

Question 9: I actually think this one is wrong, but in the other direction.
4 pts auto + 2x(2x2+2+2) = 20 pts.

The ubertube under one of the pieces doubles it to 4 points per <G65> meaning that you have 8 pts before the logo modifier. The logo modifier doubles that 8 to 16 per <G66>.

Re: Rules quiz
 

IIRC, I got "in possession" marked as the right answer on 8, as I chose the contact, contact. Looks like it's fixed now.

Q9: Ubertube doubled (4 points), 2 points, 2 points, doubled to 16. I forgot about the automode, so that's 4. But the right (marked) answer was 18, which <G63> says is not right (that's forgetting the automode and counting the second tube on one peg).

Re: Rules quiz
 

Ah, ok then.

We also now agree that Q9 is wrong and should be 20.

Here's another quiz:

Its a strictly manual grade yourself deal.

Re: Rules quiz
 

Question 6 of the field:

I said B, but the test said I was wrong. It says clearly in the rules:

Your towers are intersecting the tape from your alliances lane, ie, the towers are on the opposite side of the field from your alliance wall, where your lanes are.

Am I interpreting this correctly? If not, please call me on it.

Re: Rules quiz
 

Here's how we came up with 18:

4 - ubertube in autonomous
4 - red triangle over ubertube
2 - white circle
2 - blue square
6 - logo bonus, based on the "assigned value" for the scoring pegs, not the score value based on the ubertube bonus.

It's that last one that I think we probably disagree on.

Re: Rules quiz
 

You are right, 'B' is the correct answer. I checked the quiz config, and it has 'B' set as the correct answer, not sure why it marked it wrong.

Thanks for keeping us honest.

Re: Rules quiz
 

Hmm, weird. Thanks!

I was gonna say! I looked over that part especially well because I am part of the field building crew.

I appreciate the clarification. :)

Re: Rules quiz
 

Of course, now that I've read Team Update #1 I agree with 20 as the answer. I have updated the answers on the quiz to reflect this.

Re: Rules quiz
 

You should update Game question nine because the total score as defined (peg score+auto score) does not include the Logo bonus per G62
Just saying

Re: Rules quiz

Thanks again,
