Introducing Week 1 of Steemit Quiz 2025 and the 3 rounds that we'll be kicking off with.

Separator-green.png

It is great to see so much interest with the idea of running a weekly quiz here on Steemit and to see so many people interested in joining.

Within the 200+ comments, some teams were formed and whilst I think I've captured most of the teams created, it would be really helpful if you could please:

📝 State your team name and team members in the comments below

For those that haven't been able to join a team, you are welcome to play along and if you wish to join or create a team at a later date, your points will be combined for the total, annual score. Of course, you can continue to go solo and try to beat the best of them.

Everybody is invited to answer the questions, whether you're a super serious quiz master or just wanting to have a bit of fun!

If you've stumbled across this post and don't know what I'm talking about, please visit my original post -

❓ Steemit Quiz 2025

Summary of the key points:

  • Each week, on a Sunday (UK Time), I will announce the Rounds for the forthcoming week. Each week, there will be 3 Rounds of 10 Questions.

  • The questions will appear in the comments of Sunday's Announcement Post at random intervals.

  • For each question, each team member is entitled to 1 attempt at the answer. DO NOT EDIT YOUR ANSWER!

  • In total, the prize pool could be in the region of $1,500 over the course of the quiz.

Please read the full post for the underlying details.

❓ Week 1's Rounds

Within the comments below, I've created 3 Rounds and within each Round, I'll share 10 Questions which will appear sporadically.

I originally suggested that I would ask the questions over Monday to Saturday but I'd like to leave Saturday free to allow users to try and answer any remaining questions.

Therefore, all of the questions will be added between Monday and Friday. (I won't try to be clever with this, I'll go sequentially from Round 1, Question 1 through to Round 3, Question 10.)

Once I start to collate the scores on the following Sunday, I'll put a padlock sign (🔒) to indicate that no further answers will be accepted for any unanswered questions.

Be sure to reply to the question comment with your answer. Any answers placed elsewhere won't be registered.

So this week's Rounds are:

Round 1 - 🗽 Famous Landmarks 🗿

Round 2 - 🔗 Linking The United States of America image.png

Round 3 - 🎶 Musical Dinosaurs 🦕

If anything is unclear, please ask any questions and have any discussions in the comments below. Please keep the comments outside of the "Rounds" though.

💃 Have Fun

Round 1 - Question 9

Arch of Titus, Italy

 15 hours ago 

This one seems more like a riddle, I was looking for famous places with gay happy faces...

I found that Montreal, Canada, is one of the most gay-friendly city, and that there is a famous place that has many murals... spectacular... I still can't exactly find the face, but the place is a spectacle: https://www.getyourguide.com/montreal-l195/montreal-street-art-mural-25-hour-guided-walking-tour-t270487/

I'll keep looking...

Although I already saw the triumphal arch below hahaha...

 16 hours ago 

😆 I should’ve thought of that! I thought the smiley face would be so distracting … (which I see it was)

Yes, it was a big distraction 😅

Lo es, yo no llegué a verle figura hasta que vi que dijeron que es el Arco de Tito en Italia

Stonewall Inn, New York,USA. Correct?

Getting closer 😉

Congratulations I missed again 😭😭😭

This one's tough though, I had to do a bit of research😅

 2 days ago 

I was hoping it would be tougher... can you divulge how you solved this one?

You should consider touch locations / buildings of some small countries , so everyone get some time to search.

 2 days ago 

Don't worry, I've included a couple of more difficult ones. I'm going to remove and rethink the easier ones though.

Ok am waiting for that

I simply searched famous cathedral in the world

I should probably change the round to "Obscure Landmarks" 😆

You still have the rest of the year to fine-tune the difficulty level 😆

 22 hours ago 

Round 1 - Question 8

Beijing National Stadium, China

 21 hours ago 

I'd hoped this one would be more difficult.

It was though...until I added the magic word🫢

I imagine the magic word is: famous places...🤔

I think @the-gorilla has had enough of the word 'famous' 😅

The magic word was 'elliptical.' I thought the word resembled the shape of the structure when viewed from above...

 15 hours ago 

I believe it was affectionately nicknamed "The Bird's Nest". It's clearer in the day time photos - which is why I chose a night one!

Yas Viceroy Hotel, Abu Dhabi

Round 1 - Question 6

The Women's Titanic Memorial of Washington, DC

I almost gave up on this one. I had to repeatedly tweak my keywords—from "famous statues" to "lesser-known statues," and finally to "list of statues in every country." 😄

 23 hours ago 

I'm pleased that it took longer 😅

I'm worried that you'll get at least 2 of the last 3 too quickly. I might change them this morning 😆

I might change them this morning

@wakeupkitty
@huzaifanaveed1
@goodybest
@inspiracion
It turns out, we’ve already missed 7 questions.

I already have questions for @the-gorilla at this stage. How do you actually imagine this? Do you expect people to literally live under your post since you don’t tag participants? And there's also the factor of different time zones: for some people, it’s night, and they are sleeping. I definitely don’t have time to 'camp' under someone’s post waiting for new questions :-D Today, I remembered about it because I was still curious to see how the game starts, and now I see that the rules are poorly thought out. Maybe I’m wrong and misunderstood something? That’s why I tagged other participants to hear your impressions.

Round 2 - 🔗 Linking The United States of America image.png

This round is all about places in The United States of America and what links / connects them.

Reminder: You must be as specific as possible with your answer.

QuestionAnswered
Question 1...
Question 2...
Question 3...
 9 hours ago 

Round 3 - Question 3

What links / connects the following places:

  1. London, OH
  2. Manchester, NH
  3. Birmingham, AL
  4. Glasgow, KY
  5. Edinburgh, IN
  6. Oxford, MS
  7. Cambridge, MA
  8. York, PA

These cities are named after famous cities in UK

 4 hours ago 

The eight cities are located in the USA. They bear the names of places in Great Britain because they were founded, and in some cases renamed, by British emigrants.

I'm not sure if any of this is true?

  1. Trade or government center.
  2. Textile industry
  3. Heavy industry
  4. Local natural resources
  5. Highly educated population
  6. University
  7. World center of higher education, center of innovation and scientific research
  8. Historical site

These US cities are not directly related to major European cities other than in name, but they were named by early European settlers, often in memory of their place of origin or as a tribute to European history.

 11 hours ago 

Round 2 - Question 2

What's the link / connection between the following places?

  1. Boston, MA
  2. Chicago, IL

  1. Buffalo, NY

❌ Not the answer I'm looking for

I'm interested in hearing more detail though...

  1. Búfalo es la segunda ciudad más grande del estado de Nueva York
  2. Estadio de los Yankees en Nueva York.
  3. Chicago es conocida como "La Ciudad de los vientos", 3era ciudad más poblada de EEUU
  4. San José es la mayor ciudad de la Bahía de San Francisco en california.
 10 hours ago (edited)

❌ Not the answer that I'm looking for

There'll be 1 thing that I'm looking for that connects / links them.

Using (1) from your answer as the example, the answer could be:

"They are all the 2nd largst city in the state."

Using (3), the answer could be:

"They all have nicknames related to weather."

Ok, ya entendí.

Debe ser algo que las relaciona entre sí, que tienen en común.
Gracias intentaré con la 3era pregunta

 9 hours ago 

You can try the 2nd question too 🙂

These cities are on the shores of lakes.

Buffalo on the shores of Lake Erie.
New York is surrounded by lakes and rivers.
Chicago is on the shores of Lake Michigan.
San José South of San Francisco Bay

Hmmm... These are probably the largest and most important historical railway junctions?

Maybe a strong hockey culture connects these cities?

These cities all experienced tragic events (notable ones) in their histories:

Buffalo, NY : Assassination of Pres. Mckinley
New York, NY: the 9/11 attack
Chicago, IL: deadliest theater fire (Iroquois Theater)
San Jose, CA: The 1906 great earthquake

America's cities of rapid economic and industrial growth

Checking the feed just in the moment the quiz is published has to be a very good omen… 😁

See you later - I have to read the article and questions… 😉

 3 days ago 

I had planned for a different topic to kick things off but I'm dependent upon a 3rd party for some of the questions 😉

I'm regretting saying that I'll ask the first question tomorrow. I want to ask it now 😆

 3 days ago 

Okay, I save my edit (it’s not forbidden for a common comment, is it?) that would have said: „Argh, no question yet.“

I‘m sad that you don’t ask now but glad at the same time: The evidence of NO corruption… 🥳

Have fun, too!

NO edits. NO mistakes. NO errors. NO rules. NO clues. NO idea what comes next. NO idea what I'm doing. NO idea at all.

I'm inviting @tronbeary to join.

Please. I need to be free.

Wanna join NO team? We've got NO chance. We will have NO guess since we are so slow. We can have NO guess in a cage, there is NO need for NO freedom... 🤪

NO No NO no no no... there's no limit!

@ wakeupkitty

You are free not to answer though your label says: NO Freedom 🤔 How about: NO need to?

NO tron, NO beary... 🤷‍♀️

NO slow, very slow old woman joining your quiz... 😂
Gosh, "they" are so quick...

SO quick. TOO quick. I need to make it harder. Somehow.

Poor Beary.

NO rules... You listed a few

 2 days ago 

There are lots of them...

I was hoping that I would be the most disorganized in the team and someone would remind me about it on January 5th, but it turned out to be a little different.

I suggest the team name "Inspired" (because it was Flori who initiated this). So, here we are, as Flori formulated it 4 days ago:

Hi, @inspiracion. I think it would be better to create a Discord group for our team, so we can deliberate there before finalizing our answers. Team, what do you think?

 3 days ago 

I'd love to give you some tactical suggestions but that would be unfair 😜

Is there any way we get a notification of your posts and comments? Half of my time is spent in the hospital and I mostly forget to check Steemit on my own 😬😬😭

 2 days ago 

Perhaps you could ask your patients to refresh the page and let you know when I post something? Do doctors still have pagers? They could page you.

And I'll truly appreciate it if you do 😎

You are on Telegram so what is the idea? I happily step out of the group

 3 days ago 

To clarify: It's one attempt per team member. Not one attempt per team so as a team, you get 5 chances at the correct answer.

Oh, this is reasonable. But you know the saying: two heads are better than one; in this case, it would be five!

Of course it's a good idea, although I think not everyone on our team has access to Discord.

Anyway, we can each try to answer, it's like 5 attempts if each of us does it (that would be some strategy hahaha)..🙂

 3 days ago 

An Inspired team name. Good luck!

Sorry, chaotic crazy artist and freewriter here and freedomlover @inspiracion. I am bad if it comes to dates and time

@steemcurator08 Haha, I’m also a "person of chaos." But from time to time, I get into a "blissful" state and systematize myself for a set period, like 21 days. During that time, I gain a lot of benefits and growth, but I can't maintain it for long—it gradually becomes morally unbearable for me.

@goodybest

I think it would be better to create a Discord group for our team, so we can deliberate there before finalizing our answers. Team, what do you think?

I think it's a rational idea to have a closer connection for making joint decisions. I use Telegram, not Discord. If everyone in the team is on Telegram, we can create a private group there. If most of you are only on Discord, I will join you there (I have an account, but it's inactive because I find Discord functionally inconvenient).

Okay, golden-rain, I also have a telegram, but let's hear from other members; we can then decide.

@wakeupkitty No need to worry, the idea was to do this for fun when you could...

So far the round has been very easy... If you can see it. Although I have not participated because I had not been able to arrive on time... So theoretically, you and me, we are just as clueless hahaha😅

I didn't see anything if it comes to solving something only muted comments.
I asked around, no response. So far explaining and team building
@ wakeupkitty

Edit: just checked this is an aweful lot of scrolling checking, gettingthrough all the comments it's not doable for me. If I accidentally see it I can answer. It looks as if it is the-gorilla x henryclive.

I don't have much idea either, I'm just trying.

By the way, you're still writing with SC08...

Maybe I'll change this for Week 2. I see no reason to wait until he day after to start the questions!
