RE: ❓Steemit Quiz 2025 - Week 12
I just made one
I already saw it and have no idea. No idea how to solve it since I am no Google Earth user. So for me it's too hard without hints. For example, the first thing I thought of was water. Farmed fish ponds or salt pans. Phew, they're everywhere. But it could also be a complex of buildings. Haha, they're everywhere too... You see, I won't be able to solve it...
To be honest, I don't have much time to deal with it either, real life is raging. That's why I won't be able to develop a question that doesn't just pop into my head (like ‘The Wall’ - I could do that in a flash on mobile, but of course it was far too easy...).
And all this tells me that my suggestion is rather suboptimal, because why should others (of the few participants in the quiz) fare differently from me? Nobody will develop a question if they are ‘forced’ to do so.
I already gave a hint. I actually enjoy messing around with google earth as a pastime. :-)
Well, I just did - though not out of obligation. I was just curious to give it a shot. (Honestly, I just like tossing a thumbs down every now and then.) The tricky part is the AI… it made things harder and way more time-consuming than expected - and yes, not many people enjoy that.
Of course, it's the most important thing :-)
Is it mean for me to think "I'm pleased that others are discovering this 🙂"
Only when I tried it myself did I finally understand how complex and time-consuming it is to come up with questions. I can now fully empathize with you 🙂
I'm just loving how this is turning out - the Steemit quiz has become a group effort, with everyone getting a chance to take part in developing the questions themselves.
It wouldn't be so bad if ChatGPT didn't exist - but it shortcuts any element of research and has killed more of my questions that you'll have seen.
This change has been a saviour for me. As I've mentioned, I need to prioritise coding now so spend hours creating and testing questions just isn't feasible any more. I used to create questions in batches of 3 so that I'd have some ready but I've not even had a chance to think about them!
I think you've probably also realised why some categories are revisited more frequently than others - as they're much harder for AI to solve.
Understandable 🙂 Alex and I talked about this - we'll help with the questions whenever we can. It's not even about the rewards anymore, we just hate it when it's so damn quiet 😄
Thanks - I appreciate that! I'll try to chip in with more questions than I have done this week!
I saw this today so it would appear that the Steem API is wrong for some reason.
That's a huge discrepancy 😯
I saw the hint and looked up for several heli(air)ports. No chance... Someone els has to develop the next question... ;-D
I gave another hint. But of course, I'm waiting for the next question...
