Subject: El Dorado mini-badge: Help Needed
Posted by: Buddy1
Date: Nov 02 14
There is a new mini-badge called El Dorado which is basically a riddle. For this challenge, we can have a partner; however, no one in my team is working on it--they hardly do riddles. It has been suggested that I post a message here to see if there is anyone working on the mini-badge but does not have a partner.
How about it? Anyone want to help me?

Terry never directly answered that question, Judy. But he did say the correct rate was "low." I suspect he didn't want to say "only two correct is needed" or some other number to avoid having people do something like only bother to actually answer two questions then blindly guess. Taking quizzes that way would certainly speed up the search. He wants us to actually figure out the clues and give the quizzes the amount of attention they deserve. Reply #61. Feb 03 15, 2:32 AM |

Does anyone want to be my partner? I am 32 per cent. Reply #64. Feb 18 15, 6:19 PM |

I would love to be, Jolana, but I don't think you'd want me. I'm only 5%, barely started, and stalled already. Let me know if you do want to go with me or wait for someone with a better brain (I won't be offended) Reply #65. Feb 18 15, 11:35 PM |

I wonder if it´s only quizzes we are supposed to play. I am afraid of something...more time-consuming. :) Reply #66. Feb 20 15, 4:15 PM |

Don't worry; the mini-badge only requires you to play certain quizzes--18 if I remember correctly. Reply #67. Feb 20 15, 9:12 PM |

Hi, my partner Jolana, and I have shared our information. We have checked and matched our results as highlighted on the challenge page, and yet there are 5 points difference. Is there a reason for this that anyone can share with me? Reply #68. Feb 23 15, 5:06 PM |

Do you mean that you both have exactly the same lines coloured green, no more, no less? If so, I can't explain it - your best option then would be to raise the problem in the appropriate thread on the forums and ask Terry or one of the admins to look into it. Reply #69. Feb 23 15, 5:25 PM |

Windrush, whoever has the higher point value may have sccidently taken one of the quizzes. My partner found one as a Quiz of the Hour and didn't realize it counted towards the badge. I had two El Dorado quizzes appear in a list of quizzes for a Daily Challenge. Unfortunately for me, I'd already found them. You need to try to figure out what quizzes each took while not searching for El Dorado. Reply #70. Feb 23 15, 5:30 PM |

wow, MJ! I notice someone has been languishing on 95% for ages. Hope that doesn't happen to me when Jolana skips through! Reply #71. Feb 24 15, 1:12 AM |

? I can't see the percentages anymore. If it shows my name, something is wrong with the list. Reply #72. Feb 24 15, 1:21 AM |

MJ said: You need to try to figure out what quizzes each took while not searching for El Dorado. This is what I am doing since I am playing with windrush - I check the Challenge Page after each quiz I take. We compared our lines and I suppose they are the same, but windrush has still 5 per cent less. I don´t understand it. Reply #73. Feb 24 15, 4:53 AM |

Then .... I dunno. That was my best guess. I do admit to guessing a lot while going for that badge. Reply #74. Feb 24 15, 5:11 AM |

I think you two need to compare screenshots, Jolana/Windrush, and check the green very carefully. If you still think they're exactly the same then I would go to the forums and ask Terry to look into it. But don't publish where the screenshots are unless he specifically asks you to. If they're not exactly the same then one of you has done a quiz "by accident" and so you'll both need to concentrate on solving that clue so that the other one can catch up. Let me know if you don't know how to take screenshots and I'll talk you through it - I already have the badgelet so you won't be in any danger of telling me something I don't already know. :) Reply #75.

My best guess is that someone took a quiz that is part of the El Dorado mini-badge yet didn't know it. That happened to me twice, but both times, I eventually figured out the correct quizzes. Reply #76. Feb 24 15, 3:51 PM |

Ok...I know I am losing my mind....when I pulled up the challenge to retread the poem for the millionth time...more lines were in green than I remembered....I know the lines about the Valley of the Shadow etc in that stanza were not green....btw...I play on my phone and cannot identify the picture by "ride boldly ride". So am I losing my mind or did something change...totally stuck at 42% Reply #77. Mar 02 15, 8:51 PM |

We're okay now. For some reason one green line wasn't easily visible on a particular screen. When I printed out both copies, it showed up. Now we're BOTH stuck on 42%. 8-) Reply #78. Mar 03 15, 3:36 AM |

We've been stuck for ages on the same score. Spent the entire day chasing down a line of thought, before calling it quits. Reply #79. Mar 17 15, 7:07 AM |

I can´t find anything about the score you must have in the rules. Does the right Eldorado quiz which you played with e.g. 2/10 count? Reply #80. Mar 17 15, 1:45 PM |
