QUIZ-scoring and Winners [update]

Day 2,251, 01:16 Published in Germany Germany by eisenmutter2

Leider diesmal keine deutsche Version wegen Aufwand
Allerdings gehe ich hier jede Frage nummeriert durch und erst kommt immer ein Bild auf dem google die gegebenen Antworten anzeigt und gleich darunter folgt in fett und kursiv die richtige Antwort. Da dies aus dem Fragebogen rauskopiert ist sind die Antworten auch deutsch (anklicken für Großversion).

Es gab pro Frage 1Punkt (gesamt 20) allerdings musste man dafür die Frage komplett richtig beantworten dh bei mehreren richtigen nicht nur eins angekreuzt haben bzw mit dem Richtigen noch eine falsche Antwort angekreuzt haben...

Ranking aller Teilnehmer im google sheet



lets see what the right answers of our little quiz were but

first some rules how the quiz was score😛
- all right answered questions bring 1point (=20 in total)
- a wrong answered question didn’t bring minus-points
- if a question had more than 1right answer however you only got a point when you got all the right things
- one exception to these rules because the question was not worded clearly



i will now go through every question.
first you will see the answers to the question of all participants in a picture (here you can click on the pictures for bigger version). below the picture i will explain what the right answer was and i will tell you how many of you got a point for their answer (note: we had 81 participants in total).
please note that the number of people who had chosen the right answer in the google picture is often higher that the people who got a point because of the scoring-rules

example: if you chose the right answer and a wrong answer your input in google will count for both individually (= right answer was given 1 and wrong answer was given 1) however because you also chose a wrong answer with the right one you will not get a point from me

i will also provide a source if possible to show that you could have looked everything up and it is no magic-oldfag knowledge.


additionally i will not be alone but we will get some reactions from Haruhi who also participated in the quiz (her results will remain anonymous though! all others can find their points in the ranking shown in the google sheet). Thanks that you could be with us today Haruhi!


i will do my best!




QUESTION 1.
Costs for changing your citizen name a 3rd time are/Wieviel kostet es seinen citizen Namen ein 3.Mal zu ändern


right answer: 50 gold / 50 Gold

how many got it right: 74 (from 81participants)


source: erepublik edit profile page



ha. 1 point for team Haruhi and the SOS Brigade!



QUESTION 2.
email notifications for daily task/ Email-Benachrichtigung für den daily task


right answer: can be set at 1-20 o clock ereptime / kann man auf 1-20Uhr erepublik-Zeit einstellen

how many got it right: 28

the answer “can be set at 1-20 o clock PDT / kann man auf 1-20Uhr PDT einstellen” doesn’t apply at all times so it is wrong too

source: same erepublik edit profile page



hehe. right again!



QUESTION 3.
MUcommander can change the Daily Order manually/ Der MUcommander kann die Daily Order manuell


right answer: 5times / 5mal ändern

originally i meant daily order and didn’t see a point to add per day behind that too
but because it was not clear if i meant per day every answer with “as often as he likes / ändern so oft er will” or a combination of both will be counted as right too. (to distinguish the people who got their point because of this problem from the ones who had the answer i was actually looking for they will only get 0.6 points. that way i can see who got upgraded because of this problem and if it will change something in the ranking at the end. you can recognize them in the diagram [see link at the very end of the article] by their points not reaching the lines)

how many got it right: 46 (+ 30 +1) = 77

source: MU-page Commanders view



yeah. that’s all stuff everybody knows.
everyone who was wrong once already is a noob!



QUESTION 4.
minimum Combat Order pay per 1million damage has to be/ Minimum Combat Order Bezahlung pro 1Million Schaden muss


right answer: 10cc or more / muss 10cc oder höher sein

even though the MU page states that the pay has to be higher than 10cc in fact it has to be at least 10 (= can be 10 or higher)

how many got it right: 55

source: MU-page Commanders view + i tested to set 10cc in all divs (many in higher divs will have seen COs at 10cc occasionally too)



yeah i fought in a 10cc battle yesterday!



QUESTION 5.
to set a CO you need to have at least/ Um eine CO einzustellen braucht man im MUaccount mindestens


right answer: 100cc in MU account / 100cc

same thing here: even though the MU page states that the budget has to be higher than 100cc in fact it has to be at least 100 (= can be 100 or higher)

funfact: the account only displays full currency but if you don’t let your CO pay out full you will get back decimal - but can’t see them...

how many got it right: 40

source: MU-page Commanders view + i let someone test if really the whole money in the account can be set or if at least 1cc / the invisible decimals have to remain in the account)



Yeah! everyone who knew that hand up!



QUESTION 6.
When you change your citizenship you/ Wenn man seine Staatsbürgerschaft ändert musst du


right answer: need to buy the licence for the new country to sell there / dir für das neue Land eine Marktlizenz kaufen

of course this only applies if you don’t have the licence already...

funfact: in past i think you got the licence of your CS country by default and if you didn’t buy it it would be gone when you changed CS again

how many got it right: 38

source: peoples whiny shouts in friendsfeed (i didn’t test it myself)



wait what… that’s …
that’s new stuff… damn!



QUESTION 7.
You can buy products from a countries market/ Du kannst Produkte vom Markt eines Landes kaufen


right answer: always in the country you have citizenship of regardless of your location / immer wenn es sich um dein Heimatland (CS) handelt egal wo du grade bist

this should be something everybody knows. you can buy from market in your CS country even if you are located elsewhere.

because of this the answer “only if you are located in a region of the country / immer nur wenn du dich in einer Region des Landes befindest” can not be true - it’s what logic dictates here.

and “only in the country you have citizenship of / nur wenn es dein Heimatland ist (CS)” is wrong too because you can travel to any country and buy stuff on their market EVEN WITHOUT LICENCE (this also applies for job market but NOT for company market)

how many got it right: 24

source: me doing it all time, every day, 24/7, the whole day and at night too



Uuuh! looogic dictates~... baka!



QUESTION 8.
When you buy stuff in an other country and sell it in your CS country you always have to pay/ Wenn du Sachen im Ausland kaufst und in deinem Land wieder verkaufst musst du immer


right answer: other / keine der Antworten oben trifft zu

well of course you don’t pay work tax on products only on work - so thats wrong.

and no you don’t pay import tax because no one has to pay import tax to sell in his CS country. you then are an incountry-importer and with this the reason why high import tax is no guard against imports at all.

but yes you pay VAT but only on products… however if you buy and sell raw material you don’t pay VAT. case closed.

how many got it right: 7

source: me and well erepublik



that’s not fair! i would have had i right if… oh damn.



QUESTION 9.
Who pays work tax?/ Wer muss worktax zahlen


right answer: company owners when they work as manager and employees / Angestellte und Firmenbesitzer die in ihren Firmen arbeiten

in past employees only had to pay income tax on their wage. this is now merged with worktax. worktax for employee salaries is the tax you see in economy page of your country (XX 😵

how many got it right: 57

source: the wiki on worktax



where did you get that stup.d question?
on the newbie-bus?
i don’t feel good for getting these kind of questions right...



QUESTION 10.
worktax for work as manager is calculated with/ worktax für work as manager wird berechnet mit


right answer: average salary paid out / Durchschnittsgehalt welches ausgezahlt wird

worktax for managers is the tax you see in economy page of your country (XX 😵 on the average salary also displayed there… because manager do not get paid a salary you need some number

how many got it right: 53

source: admins claim the displayed number is the average salary paid out + the wiki on worktax



nooooob question!



QUESTION 11.
The minimum VAT on products is/ Minimale VAT für Fertigprodukte ist


right answer: 0

i also thought until Japan that VAT on products has to be at least 1% or sth. but yeah. it seems that 0% is possible too.

how many got it right: 15

source: the VAT in Japan at the moment


Whaaa… why…
don’t come with noob-stuff and then hit with god-modus cr4p right after that!!!



QUESTION 12.
The maximum VAT on raw material is / Maximale VAT für Rohmaterialien ist


right answer: 0

yes maximum VAT on raws is … there is no VAT on raws.

how many got it right: 33

source: can be seen here below the red square the VAT in Japan at the moment an in erepublik wiki (quote: Please note: VAT is not added to the price of raw materials.)



nobody would fall for that cheap trap.
right?!



QUESTION 13.
you become adult citizen when/ Du wirst adult citizen wenn


right answer: you reach 50strength / du 50 Stärke erreichst

how many got it right: 45

source: erepublik wiki and tested in elife by me



newbie-question? NEWBIE QUESTION!



QUESTION 14.
in Guerilla Battle you/ im Guerilla Battle


right answer: you don't get Exp / bekommt man keine Exp


how many got it right: 31

source: people i asked



he? of course i knew that…really! i just clicked the wrong answer by mistake!



QUESTION 15.
product companies can be sold/ Produktfirmen können verkauft werden


right answer: all at default price +/-10% / alle zum voreingestellten Preis +/-10%
and with this “q1 at 9.00 to 11.00g / q1 für 9,00 bis 11,0g” is true too.


logic will however say no to “all at default price +/- 1g / alle zum voreingestellten Preis +/-1g”


[note that only if you chose both right answers you got a point here!]

how many got it right: 35

source: me + erep-wiki
& you can try it by selling your companies for much more. it will show you the price range possible in gold but you can calculate that this is always the defaultprice shown +/-10%


you with your dXmb economy stuff…
economy is dead why should i know this stuff?



QUESTION 16.
when is congress election/ Wann ist Kongresswahl


right answer: 25th day of month / 25th day of month (= 25. jeden Monats - failed to provide german in the google-sheet lol sorry about that)

how many got it right: 78

source: me + election page can show you when elections are + you could check in erep-wiki too



this question was difficult… not



QUESTION 17.
when can party members apply for congress seat/ Wann können sich Parteimitglieder für die Kongresswahl melden


right answer: 16th - 23rd day of month / 16.-23. Tag des Monats

how many got it right: 62

source: every party page could provide that info (here Bad Party from germany)



1 point GET!



QUESTION 18.
what of the following is wrong: you can not sell products on a countries market even if you have a licence when/ Was ist falsch: man kann trotz Lizenz keine Produkte auf dem Markt eines Landes verkaufen wenn


right answer: the country is wiped / das Land komplett besetzt ist

please note that i used double negative here.
and “your country is at war with the other country / sich dein Land im Krieg mit dem anderen Land befindet” is wrong as war has the same effect like a trade embargo. in both cases you can NOT sell even if you have a licence. so these are RIGHT and with that WRONG (in regards to our question). however you can sell via licence in countries even if they are wiped so “you can not sell to a wiped country” is WRONG and with this the right answer to the question.

how many got it right: 22

source: me (no country i have a licence for is wiped atm so i can’t provide a pic. just try it yourself if you have licences)



hehe even i knew that - from my imported beer!
learning by drinking!


QUESTION 19.

right answer: both congress and country president / sowohl Kongress als auch Landespräsident

source: ask erepublik wiki or the politics guy in your village



and again easy and 1point for me.
who wouldn’t know that?!



QUESTION 20.
you will get back your 1000cc from supporting a Resistance War if/ Man bekommt seine 1000cc Widerstandskriegs-Unterstützung zurück wenn


right answer: RW you supported didn't start because a RW in an other region of the country was started / der von dir unterstützte RW gar nicht anfängt, weil ein RW in einer anderen Region des Landes gestartet wurde

how many got it right: 60

source: see again erep wiki
(quote: “Please note: The cost of supporting a resistance war is NOT refundable after a Resistance War starts. The only exception is when a citizen supports a Resistance war in a conquered region of country A, but a Resistance war is launched in another region of country A, in such cases the sum of 1000 currency is returned to the citizen's account.”)



with that money i can buy me a 3rd dimension!

@all thanks for participating




RANKING OF ALL PARTICIPANTS
can be found in the google sheet
UPDATE for question11 with tax on products @ 0%
regarding Question 11 i just got a PM
problem is: proposing tax you will get this screen which states that VAT has to be between 1 and 25% (i am not in the politics but some may know this screen) + the wiki for VAT should probably say the same.

some people thought it is a bug and only shows 0 but still calculates with 1
however when i sell weapons in japan which has 0%VAT and 1%import tax i really only pay 1% which is the import tax (with 2%tax = 1 calculated for VAT even if it shows 0 and 1 for import the tax/unit would be 1.960784cc)


explanations

1a
maybe it is like with the stuff we had in question 4 where erepublik says COpay per million has to be higher than 10 when in fact it can be exactly 10 too

and so erep says tax has to be at least 1% but in fact can be 0

1b
maybe in fact all countries could propose a VAT of 0% but did never try and only obeyed what they saw and used 1% as minimum

then after occupier tax on regions maybe some croat(?) who saw all taxes of his exile-regions gone to their enemy was in rage and put in 0%... and it worked


2
admins changed the rules to VAT 0-25% (maybe again because of angry croat-tickets after occupiertax-implementation). and -like sometimes- Plato forgot to mention it on the latest updates page or he already used up all characters with notification about special events and missions that day...


3
it's just a bug because... ereBUGlik
