Mix "in" Bowl = MIXING BOWL

It quite clearly states on the quiz sheet to not ask for any help on the internet.

[JJ109]

Pulse - and Ed has explained time and time again that you may add the quiz details, the name, closing date and details of where to obtain the quiz, but you should do nothing to deter people from asking questions, as this is a question and answer site.

Will you please follow Ed's advice for this site!

I think is just reminding the OP to read the setter's instructions on the sheet.

[JJ109]

And I think he is being too aggressive!

[Mamyalynne]

We may have to cordially disagree, I see no aggression or exclamations etc.

[JJ109]

Yes, we do cordially disagree!

[pulse876]

How can stating something that is factually correct and only repeats what is said on the quiz sheet possibly be a problem? And if someone chooses to buy a "no asking" quiz how can politely reminding them of that fact possibly be too aggressive?

The Ed also once said that it was OK to point out any other details the setter had put just in case some people who answer did not to do so.

[smouse]

choose to do so - wish there was an edit button

[JJ109]

Smouse - you should not contradict this
but you should do nothing to deter people from asking questions, as this is a question and answer site.

[Mamyalynne]

One question asked, one question answered - rules of quiz added - no deterring went on.

[SADQ]

So sorry jj109, seems I got you in trouble.
Thanks anyway.

This is a recurrent theme on here and is becoming tedious. If someone asks a question, others are free to answer. I'm glad I'm not a member of the quiz-loving fraternity.

[Mamyalynne]

No one is in trouble, it's sometimes easy to miss the small print, when you do a lot of quizzes and they have different rules .

Good luck, it's a tough one as usual.

[JJ109]

You're welcome SADQ and there is no problem as far as I am concerned

[QuizmasterG]

I would have thought "setter's quiz = setter's rules"?
(I know a lot of people disregard this anyway)
I hope they don't apply the same attitude if playing a game or sport in the wider world.
Especially don't disregard the rules at level crossings!
