❓ Steemit Quiz 2025 - Week 1
Introducing Week 1 of Steemit Quiz 2025 and the 3 rounds that we'll be kicking off with.
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 
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.
✅ Round 1 - Complete - 🗽 Famous Landmarks 🗿
In this round, you will need to identify the famous landmark in the image.
Please be specific.
If the answer is "The Great Pyramid of Giza", "The pyramids" will not be accepted.
Assessment: Too Easy.

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/

Congratulations I missed again 😭😭😭
This one's tough though, I had to do a bit of research😅
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.
0.06 SBD,

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 😆

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...
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!

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." 😄
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 😆

@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.

Anyone who finds the day's trivia question first should copy and drop it there for other members to see
We are in the same time zone and so is @goodybest and like you I find it hard to scroll through all those comments to find what is posted. It looks very chaotic to me and to be fair it hurts my head. I don't think I can participate this way. I already said this to @inspiracion. Can be my brain works differently, I don't know but it doesn't bring fun if I have no clue where to find what and what to do.
You're right, I couldn't find the questions immediately.
But I believe we'll still have fun with time, so let's follow the due process
Yes, this time I completely agree with you, Kitty. And I have already very politely mentioned this to the game starter. To be honest, the game doesn't leave much room for participation for people who are busy with many other things. Maybe by the second week, he will make some adjustments to the process and the rules.
The second round has been slower, because the questions are different. The rules for this second and third round have also been modified, there in the post the author has edited it.
However, I agree with you that it has become difficult to find the questions among so many comments. I still hope that things become more practical over time.
Round 3 - 🎶 Musical Dinosaurs 🦕

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:

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
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.
0.00 SBD,
0.00 STEEM,
0.25 SP
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)..🙂
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'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...

Here is the quiz post https://steemit.com/hive-128129/@the-gorilla/steemit-quiz-2025-week-1
Take a look at the comments section, where the quiz has entered round 2.
It's like a guessing game!
