❓Steemit Quiz 2025 - Week 7
It was a quieter week this week with 17 questions asked. Will week 7 see some guest questions?
Week 6 Winner
It was a return to form for Two Shreks and Fiona (@bluelavender, @alexanderkass and @henryclive) (or should the team name now just be Two Shreks?) with a total of 7 correct answers. They hit a good run of 3 correct answers to sneak this week's victory from NO team who were ahead going into what turned out to be the last 3 questions.
We've had fewer questions this week - a combination of some taking slightly longer to answer and also a lack of inspiration on my part.
It's school holiday this week so it might be another slow week (or there'll be loads of questions as I seek distractions from colouring in and Marble Run)!
🏆 Congratulations to Two Shreks and Fiona who will share this week's beneficiary.
Overall Rankings After Week 6
Hopefully this table doesn't prompt another rendition of "We are the Champions" but if it does, then we have to accept that - over to you alexanderkass 😆

Questions 4
🎭 Celebrity Numbers 🔢
In this round, each person can request the unmasking of any number (1 per 30 minutes), which will unmask a square on the image below.
You then need to figure out who the celebrity is!
1 point for each correct answer.
This time, ChatGPT gave me 3 random numbers to get us started!
Be careful though, receiving too many number requests could make things too easy for others to guess!
Updates will be made every 30 minutes until the celebrity is guessed - remember though, an incorrect guess will lead to a 3 hour wait!
Once the image is updated, you can request another number (even if you're on your 3 hour wait)!
Last update: 8pm (UK Time)
Next unveiling: 8:30pm (UK Time) - Please select your number before then.

No. 4: Emre Can never played for Real Madrid, but for the others (Bayern München, FC Liverpool, Juventus Turin).
Liverpool is the only team among the four to be banned for such a long period (six years) due to the Heysel Disaster (1985).
Real Madrid have won the Champions League as many times as the other three teams combined.

✅ The odd one out is New York (The Big Apple)
0.00 SBD,

Picture 1 (New York, Big Apple).
Geographically, New York City is located on the East Coast of the United States, while Seattle, Portland, and San Diego are all on the West Coast.

✅ Correct!
3 on the West Coast (also linking back to a Week 1 question of Interstate-5). Only New York isn't.

I guess it is the second picture (the red lady) because the others has to do with towers.
New York with towers (1st), the lighthouse (3rd) and the Empire State Building (4th).

Top right one.
While the rest of the images show real world places, the top-right one focuses on a Carmen Sandiego character.

0.00 SBD,
0.00 STEEM,

The 3rd picture with the lighthouse does not match the others.
Exclusion: The description of the picture is missing the word “big“. At least I think so… 😎Otherwise, I see “Big Apple,” a scene from the movie “Big” with Tom Hanks, and the video game “Big Red Adventure.”
👎 It's not the 3rd picture and the link isn't the word 'big'. Sorry!

Question 5 - Ask a Friend
⚽ Sports 🏏
Ask a Friend
In this round, you cannot directly answer the question. you must tag any user who is not on your team (you can tag users from opposing teams). If the tagged user answers correctly, their inviter scores a point for their team.
Votes will be given to both the inviter and the friend who provides the correct answer.
Note: If you answer correctly on behalf of an opposing team, only the opposing team will score a point.
Example: chriddi invites henryclive to answer. henryclive answers correctly. Both chriddi and henryclive receive a vote. However, only chriddi’s team (NO team) scores a point.
❓ The Question ❓
Only one player scored a hat-trick in the English Premier Leauge at the weekend (15th/16th Feb). Not including this one, how many Premier League hat-tricks have been scored by players from the same country?

0.15 STEEM,
0.15 SP
Well, we know the country and we counted the hat-tricks.
He asked about the number of hat tricks, not the number of players. Then, well then... Let's irritate the opponents a little more... 😂

You are naughty.
This is now a very stupid instruction for me. For me as a notorious Mention denier. In fact, I had just decided to mute all posts with unnecessary mentions (i.e. the person addressed is not paying enough attention...) as a NO-control. I think I'll stick to this plan - after all, I'm co-inventor and administrator of this community... 😎

Oh, you don't have to worry. Nobody has been attentive enough to know that I know the answer. At least nobody has invited me yet. Or they are sneaky-pants because they don't want No Team to get the point... 🫣
You've thought that out really well... 😘
And now let me evaluate my Wördel - I want to go out again, the sun is shining!
Ah, but if somebody invites you and you answer correctly, they get the point and not you. It's the Inviter who gets the point!

I understand that. I just wanted to be very polite...
Nobody should say that the NO team has been arrogant and selfish since its rocket-like success... 😎
Dear fellow players,
I have done some research and I think I KNOW the answer.
You can ask me if you want No team to get another point... 😁

I would assume that the odd one out is jersey number 1, as it belongs to an American football team, and the balls in this sport are not round but rather oval-shaped, unlike the other sports to which the remaining jerseys belong, where the balls are round.

Questions 11
Williams
👎 chriddi has got the correct answer - Aston Martin. It's the final rankings in 2024 Constructors' Championship.
As we have already established, we are quite a small group of quizzers. The number of participants is very manageable, and it's always the same users. However, I can very well imagine that there are more people interested who would like to check out the answers to one question or another. After all, @disconnect consistently features this quiz on his contest list. This means that not only your many loyal followers should be able to discover the puzzle. So, what's going on?
I had the idea that “new” users/participants might not dare to join in because they are intimidated by the "Overall Rankings." I mean, anyone who is new and actually reads the post before guessing must be thinking: "So what? I have no chance at all anyway!"
Yes, I think I would leave. Just like how I personally stay in the game because my team is determined to catch up with the competitors. We have a chance. “Newcomers” don’t.
It needs to become clear in the future that the primary focus is on the game and the fun of playing, not on the top ranking of the year.
Everything else is of course absolutely brilliant... 🤗
0.00 SBD,
0.65 STEEM,
0.65 SP
🤔 Well, I could remove the overall ranking and keep it a secret until the end of the year.
Part of the idea behind the guest answer was so that new people might get tagged - which didn’t really work!
I think most users prefer contests that don’t require any thought or that AI can generate. I know a few people dropped out because watching my feed for updates was too much effort.
It’s tricky. I like the mentality of the people already taking part and perhaps that reflects how few users are ‘like us’, rather than people not knowing about it. I don’t know 🤷
For now though, I’ll remove the overall ranks so the weekly prize is more prominent.
What if we introduce a special “wild card” round designed specifically for newcomers? For one week, fresh faces could compete on equal footing, giving them a real chance to see how fun the quiz can be. Also, since each weekly quiz can have up to 20 questions, it’s not like anyone’s overall position is completely locked in. A dedicated newcomer could potentially climb the leaderboard within two weeks if they really put in the effort.
The other thing is this quiz has their own set of challenges. It’s not just about solving the questions, it’s about being quick to answer, keeping an eye on the blog for updates, and juggling different time zones. That extra work might discourage people who prefer simpler contests. Still, I think creating a wild card or “welcome week” for new participants could lower the barrier to entry and help them experience the fun without feeling too far behind from the start.
I've been full on with Steem Atlas this past week so couldn't keep up with the quizzes but happy (and surprised) to be hanging on to second place.

I'm pleased to hear it. It's a great site so deserves to do well!
I definitely need to add my Travel posts to it. I just need a block of time without distractions to get it done!
I wonder what the hook to the outside world is...
I have friends who love travelling and they keep a map of the world on display with pins in all of the places they've visited. Perhaps something along these lines could work really well, where each user can log their travels and be able to filter the map just their pins / places they've visited?
These logs are stored on the Blockchain and the pin becomes more than just a point and a memory - it becomes a story.
I can think of a few people that this would appeal to.
0.00 SBD,
0.00 STEEM,
1.31 SP
I will look forward to your travel posts. You could do posts for all the football grounds you have visited as well...
Finding the right hook for the outside world will be key.
I think the 'personal' nature of the information on the site sets it apart from the more normal tourism / TripAdvisor type content.
There is still much to be explored and much to be nurtured on the site.
Steem does present a unique opportunity for (guided) content creation - I am not sure there are many other sites that can offer up anything similar.
For the existing content creators on Steem, Steem Atlas presents an ideal opportunity to create 'content with purpose' - something lacking for much of the platform's output.
One new feature that we are just debugging at the moment is the search by author - this will display all the posts from an individual user. This can be a useful stepping stone to more elaborate curated outputs.
0.00 SBD,
0.65 STEEM,
0.65 SP
I agree. Whilst I was commenting, I was trying to think "What would appeal to the people I know". My thoughts went to TripAdvisor but would Steem Atlas benefit from lots of short-form reviews? In my opinion, no.
That's when I thought about what would appeal to some of my more "traveller" friends that I've got and the "pins in maps" feels like the perfect fit. And it sound like the feature that you're currently testing aligns with this nicely.
Well.. the current purpose of most activity is sadly all too obvious. It just doesn't align with what we'd like Steemit to be!
That's a good idea with my Away Days posts. I'll update a few now and see if I'm successful.
I've added a pin to this post.
