03/02/2011 - Inactive players and the highscore.
To give our new players the chance to climb the highscore, inactive players will be ignored in the highscore after 30 days of inactivity.
One single start of Urban Quiz every 30 days is enough to bring you back into the list.
This should make the process of climbing the highscore especially for new players much more enjoyable.

12/15/2009 - Question Point calculation
So, what about these weird Question Points?
How do they calculated and why do they differ so much?
In this post I'm going public with some details concerning these questions.
1. Bases
To be able to calculate anything, first thing you have to gather are some basic numbers.
In Urban Quiz these numbers are as follows:
Question:
- clicks: How often has that particular question been clicked by distinct (each quizzer is only counted once) quizzers.
- tries: How often has that particular question been tried to solve.
- failures: How often has that particular question been falsly answered.
- clicks: How often has that particular quizzer clicked on foreign questions (each question is only counted once).
- tries: How often has that particular user tried to solve a question.
- successes: How often has that particular user given a correct answer.
- clicks: How often have questions created by that particular quizzer been clicked on (each question is only counted once).
- tries: How often have questions of that quizzer been tried to solve.
Now you know all the values that are important in calculation.
As you can see, they are quite a few.
I am not going to give you the exact formula in which these numbers are calculated to the question points you're seeing in the game.
3. How to be an excellent quizzer
As you might already have noticed looking at the different values, to be an excellent Urban Quizzer it is not only important to answer as many foreign question as possible, but also to create your very own questions to get them answered by as many other quizzers as possible.
