Hello everyone! This contest will be testing your general knowledge of Anikira, as well as your ability to hunt through the site to find clues and answers to a bunch of questions that I have thrown together. Some will be relatively easy, whilst others will be quite hard, and require you to flick back through the archives, or use the 'Search' feature of the site (in the top navigation bar). For your convenience, you may also use the Internet Archive Wayback Machine here which allows you to view snapshots of the front page at different points in time (going back to 2011).
The pop quiz will end on September 3rd, and I will put the answers up on this date for everyone to see. If you would like to receive your points earlier than that, feel free to send them to me via PM (with the PM subject containing your name and "POP QUIZ" etc) and I will mark whatever you give me then and there - but keep in mind, once you have sent your answers, you won't be able to change or amend them, so be sure that you are 100% happy with them. Also, please don't share your answers with other people!
Update: When researching pack info, please only consider currently existing or previous packs, not future packs that are yet to be officially formed (i.e Keone and Ananke)
Point breakdown:
There are 75 points to gain from answering all of the questions correctly, plus 15 bonus points from the final two questions. ALL members will receive an instant 10 points for participating in the quiz, even if you somehow get all the answers wrong. Finally, the member(s) who gets the most correct answers will score an addition 30 points (excluding staff members because we do have an advantage, sorry guys). So altogether there are 130 points potentially up for grabs!
Have fun!!
Questions 1-25 are worth 2 points each (for a total of 50 points). Partially correct answers will only get 1 point.
SUPER SLEUTH QUESTIONS! These babies are worth 5 points each, for a total of 25 points. Partially correct answers will only get 2 points.
