Introduction
Welcome to the first ever Unofficial Team17 Pop Quiz Extravaganza! Where you get to test your absurd Team17-related knowledge against even more absurd Team17-related questions and getting points for it! That you can put... in your sig. Or something.

Topics might cover anything relating to Team17 staff, news, games, and so on. (but not forum/community-related stuff because that's kinda obscure) Remember to read the question carefully and to be ready to think outside the box. If something isn't explitically mentioned, that might affect the answer.

There is no need to join or sign up or whatever, all you need to do is post on this thread right here, what you think the answer to the latest question is (rule-abiding). You are free to skip any questions you want and every question will be up for a whole day to give everyone plenty of time to answer.

To keep things smooth, please keep this thread clean of any non-answer posts or put them in bright tags or something. You can also PM me if you have any questions regarding the way this works.

Rules

Every day between 12am-3am GMT a new question will be posted (both on the thread and on this post) and the answers for the previous question will be evaluated and ranked accordingly.
You can only answer the latest question and not any past questions.
To answer a question just post your answer on the thread, nothing else is required. Answers posted elsewhere and any justifications or excuses will be ignored.
Every question only has one correct answer unless otherwise stated.
You are free to use any means necessary to find out the answer as long as you keep it out of the thread.
Each question is scoreed differently.
Correct answers will be scored on a first-second-third basis. Any other answers will not be scored.

[Paul.Power]

Hmm, is that default or five-star power? No idea, and I've no idea what it is for five-star power anyway, so I'll just go with what ISTR is the default, which is 45.

[shadowman]

I'm thinking it's 50

[bonz]

53 .

[MtlAngelus]

It's OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!!

[Metal Alex]

My guess is 50

[Akuryou13]

uh.....it was 45.

[robowurmz]

45
doo dooo doo

[yauhui]

45

bandwagon yeah

[*Splinter*]

40

My rocket is impotent :(

[Shadowmoon]

I think it is 45

[franpa]

47 .

[WeXzuZ]

The answer is 45.

[pilot62]

I was thinking 45, but there's no point putting that now, so I'll say 50 on the off chance everyone else is wrong.

[ShadowLord]

50 is my guess.

[Alien King]

Saying 50 or 45 now is pointless...

55 then.

[TeDdywoRm]

Saying 50 or 45 now is pointless...

55 then.
Alright, 44 is my answer then.

[Shadowmoon]

I change my answer now.

EDIT: No, i don't.

I keep 45

[super_frea]

7 :cool:

No I'm pretty sure it's 45.

[Oft99]

48


...because everyone else has said 45 or 50.

Question about this: If almost everyone produces the same correct answer (which would be what's happening here if 45 is correct) who would win? Would it be based on the ones who posted it first or something?

[Squirminator2k]

I'm quite confident it's 45.

Question about this: If almost everyone produces the same correct answer (which would be what's happening here if 45 is correct) who would win? Would it be based on the ones who posted it first or something?Presumably.

[Melon]

It's 50.

You never get 50 though, due to the collision masks making the origins of the bazooka and worm never be on the same spot, so you're always hitting the worm at a small distance.

Or I'm totally wrong and I'm just trying to sound clever. Most likely this.

[SupSuper]

Question about this: If almost everyone produces the same correct answer (which would be what's happening here if 45 is correct) who would win? Would it be based on the ones who posted it first or something?Who posted it first, yes.

The correct answer is: 120
A Bazooka will cause the maximum damage at five-star power with double-damage in effect. :p *dodges thrown tomatoes*

Under default settings, the max would be 50, although like Melon said, you could only realistically get up to ~46.

Alright, I'll admit that was a bit cheeky so have an easier one. (I will drift away from Worms eventually)

New Question
In early versions of Worms Armageddon and Worms World Party, how do you detonate a dud mine?

Scoring: 1st=3, 2nd=2, 3rd=1

[franpa]

Baseball bat.

EDIT: your "latest question" in your OP is wrong.

[Akuryou13]

well it was listed as having something to do with a moving animal-type weapon. I believe it was either granny or sheep but I never did figure it out myself. :p

[bonz]

Baseball bat.
Somehow I always got infuriated that this never worked for me, although it was mention everywhere in pre-release propaganda.

Bleh, for changing the question. I don't know the answer to the new one.

[MtlAngelus]

Yes they can explode. I don't know how tho. But I have noticed dud mines exploding at random ocasions, usually when the mine is thrown away by an explosion and lands on a worm.

[Plasma]

Sounds like fun!

Yes. I had thought about this myself when I was playing, and IIRC a sufficiently large enough explosion can cause a dud mine to instantly explode.

[[UFP]Ghost]

Just read the rules so I'm revising my answer as to make it fit. A rare bug cause it to explode when a mine was within 1 pixel of the center of a worm at the right moment.

[[UFP]Ghost]

Ghost;665970']Just read the rules so I'm revising my answer as to make it fit. A rare bug cause it to explode when a mine was within 1 pixel of the center of a worm at the right moment.

assuming this is void, I'll be back for the next question :)

[yauhui]

Why is the question in the first post and in SupSuper's latest post different? I'm going to answer both I guess :p

First post: Yes.
Latest post: By hitting it with a baseball bat!

[Alien King]

Yes .

[Shirdel]

Yes, a Dud Mine can still be detonated.

[TeDdywoRm]

I guess, there's no point in answering this question so MtlAngelus wins.

[SupSuper]

Apologies for the question mismatch, I reconsidered having a simple Yes/No answer but my internet got dropped half way. I realize this messed things up somewhat, so in this expectional case, I'll let you edit your posts to fix it accordingly.

To clarify, no Yes/No answers are allowed. (that'd be a bit too easy). Although there is still only one technically-correct answer, I'll still allow any other answers that are true (any weapons or other methods that will trigger it). The technically-correct answer will get prioritized though. :p

[Shadowmoon]

Yes, it can be detonated if a weapon explodes into it.

[KRD]

A dud mine only exploded when its collision mask overlapped with approximately the middle of a worm's collision mask at exactly the time when the mine checked for proximity [that happens every 10 frames or 0.2 seconds]. Duds exploding has nothing to do with any sort of damage inflicted to the mine, as the various methods used in getting it inside of a worm might make it look. I usually did it by Blowtorching it into a corner.

Quiz idea approved. :)

[franpa]

I know the answer and know where to go for future answers about W:A, so far no one has posted exactly how it works yet :D of course I can't post the answer since I already did answer (incorrectly too).

[robowurmz]

Dud mines do in fact detonate. I've had success in detonating them with a bat in WWP, but not that way in W:A. I seem to recall a holy hand grenade throwing a dud into some worms and having it explode.

[Melon]

Damn KRD beat me to this one. Deadcode himself explained to me how it works. :p

Every 10 frames, the game will check to see if a worm is within range of any mines. If so, it sets it off. Once a dud mine had gone off, the range of the mine was set to 0. What this meant was that a mine could still go off if the distance between the origin of the worm and the mine was 0, i.e. they were in EXACTLY the same place during the frame when the range checking occured. There are many ways to do this, but the fact it only occured every 10 frames meant it was very unlikely. The easiest way to do it is to let go of a jetpack from a height and drop directly onto a dud mine. You hurt yourself, but, meh.

BONUS: This was fixed by setting the mine range to -1.

[Shadowmoon]

Nash and Jordan.

[robowurmz]

Gareth and PiggoWort.

This is of course, a random answer; there isn't any point in saying the real answer.

Also, I share the name of one of the real protagonists. For a Robowurmz point, can you guess mah name?

Holy crap, spot on. You get the point!
Put it in your sig if you like:
Robowurmz has identified me as being the omniscient guesser of Identity.

[SupSuper]

The protagonists are Nash and Jordan. Bonz gets 4 points, super_frea gets 3 points and Metal Alex gets 2 points.

Nash, #1, Jordan, #2.

Last possible spot :p

[MtlAngelus]

New Question
How many variations are there of the Team17 logo? (previous names don't count)

[bonz]

7 .

[MtlAngelus]

7.






:p

[KRD]

Depends on whether you count actual designs or all those knockoffs from the title screens of various titles that are basically just one of the two designs made to fit in with the atmosphere of the game in question. Seeing as that's probably the correct answer, but knowing there's no way I'm going to count those, I think I'll trust Bonz to have done it himself and add the Lame17 logo to it. :p

Eight.

[Akuryou13]

6

on the off chance bonz miscounted or just completely guessed.

[Plasma]

5 .

[[UFP]Ghost]

Seven is the answer of course

[Muzer]

Seven of course, but I'm out of the rankings now

don't say anything thomasp... doesn't matter anyway.

[yakuza]

Just so I get this right, these two would count as the same design, right?

He didn't say how many different designs, he said how many variations.

[yakuza]

He didn't say how many different designs, he said how many variations.

Oh right, he said variations. Like, size variations? Color variations? How picky are we being with the term? Does the WA map with the logo count as a variation? Does it not? Does the N-Gage one count as one since it uses a different tone of purple barely noticeable by the human eye? Do third party edits count?

I just want to make sure. And I'm not the only one with this same concern. Don't be pedantic.

[Akuryou13]

He didn't say how many different designs, he said how many variations.but that falls within the same realm. it's the same logo just with updated graphics. the only difference is an updated number of colors. technically it could be either a new variation or the same depending on who you're talking to. it looks different and so could easily be considered different by some, but everything about it is the same from the design to the color scheme so it could be considered the same by some others.

it's definitely worth asking about.

[Muzer]

In other words, ambiguous question, try better next time :p

[bonz]

As long as this abomination doesn't count. :eek:

One has a circle round it... the other doesnt...

[franpa]

Square root of 1 gazillion is the answer!!!

[Akuryou13]

One has a circle round it... the other doesnt...which is a significant difference.

[SupSuper]

Alright people, don't get your knickers in a twist, this is just a trivia quiz, not your final graduate exam.

I try to keep the questions a bit tricky or un-explicit so that the game stays challenging and fun and leaves the question open for interpretation. I'll admit it's a bit cheeky of me but it keeps you on your toes, otherwise it'd just be a "Who can jump onto Wikipedia faster" contest. I did this with the first question and nobody complained.

To clear things up, only official logos count, and no 17Bit or Team7 (that's what i meant by "previous names don't count"). Every Team17 logo follows the same base design (same font, text, etc.) so I obviously can't differentiate from there, but there's still distinct designs. So:

http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:dhY38JUHTTmY2M:http://www.sitting-ducks.com/~jeff/linkgifs/t17logo.gifNo, they count as different.

By variations, I mean every graphic "Team17" logo that is visibly distinct. This includes the one-off logo designs that were made for some game or other to fit the theme, and this is what makes the question slightly trickier. Again, I'll let you change your answer if this has cleared things up for you, and edited the question in the first post to be more explicit.

[bonz]

The correct answer is 22 (Bazooka, Homing Missile, Grenade, Cluster Bomb, Banana Bomb, Shotgun, Uzi, Minigun, Sheep, Firepunch, Dragonball, Dynamite, Mine, Air Strike, Teleport, Blowtorch, Pneumatic Drill, Ninja Rope, Bungee, Girder, Kamikaze, Prod). Alien King gets 3 points, Muzer gets 2 points, *Splinter* gets 1 point.

New Question
What are the differences between the Ninja Rope in Worms 1, Worms DC and Worms 2?

Scoring: 1st=5, 2nd=4, 3rd=3

[Alien King]

I'm sorry? There was a mole bomb in worms 1?

[poninja]

worms 2 one is more like ''bouncing'' nd worm 1 rope is different?

[KRD]

Hm.

The Worms and Worms DC Ninja Ropes weren't that different as far as I can remember. They were both thin, the first golden yellow in colour, the second a shade of grey. Neither would bend around terrain when they came in contact with it [but rather went through it, heh], both allowed you to knock other worms by detaching from them at the right time and you could easily aim them downwards to attach them directly below your worm, without the need to jump first.

The Worms2 rope, like the WA one that's based on it, is not a straight, hard pole anymore. Instead, it is made of small rectangles at the joints of which it can bend and assume the shape of the terrain it's being pressed to, at least to an extent. The so called Indian Rope trick still works on W2, but it has to be done a little differently and is thus less convenient. The collision detection of a roping worm was pulled off better here than in the first generation games, meaning bouncing off the terrain or map borders was more easily predictable and useful. But now I'm getting into obscure details that surely can't be the answer to the question. Oh and rope knocking worked, perhaps even better.

Please excuse the liberal use of the past tense in this post.

[[UFP]Ghost]

To paraphrase
Worms and worms DC ninja ropes were very similar. The worms rope was golden yellow and the DC was grey. They refused to wrap around terrain, instead going through it and you could aim down and shoot without jumping.

The worms2 rope was not a straight line but is made of rectangles allowing one to wrap around terrain. One must jump in worms 2 to shoot the rope down. It was easier to use due to a fix in the collision detection. It was also easier to bounce and repeat swings.

[franpa]

The answer is post #114 in this thread.

[Enty]

What KRD said.

[yakuza]

It only became a Ninja Rope in Worms 2.

[Muzer]

I'm sorry, but I revoke the answer to the last question. The original Worms did not have a mole bomb. Worms: Reinforcements (and therefore Worms: United) introduced the Mole Bomb.

Source: http://biphome.spray.se/boggy_b/ (I can give more sources if you want)

[Muzer]

To answer this question, in Worms: Director's Cut, you can do "tarzanning" (now known as roping).

In Worms 2, the rope wraps around.


The appearance was also changed along the way.

[bonz]

Worms 1:
Name: Ninja Rope (Bat Rope in pre-release version)
Colour: yellow-red striped
Tip: a black hook during extension, nothing when connected
Selection: F8 key x2
Collision with terrain: NO
Weapon animation: NO, rope comes out of the worm
Bouncing: Worms bounce infinitely
Speed: increases directly proportional with rope length
Aiming: can not be aimed straight down (a few degrees off)
Tarzaning: NO

Worms DC:
Name: Ninja Rope
Colour: white striped (with space in between)
Tip: nothing during extension, a black dot when connected
Selection: mouse only?? (I have no idea if F-keys worked on the Amiga; they don't in WinUAE)
Collision with terrain: YES
Weapon animation: NO, rope comes out of the worm
Bouncing: Worms bounce infinitely
Speed: increases directly proportional with rope length
Aiming: can not be aimed straight down (a few degrees off)
Tarzaning: YES

Worms 2:
Name: Ninja Rope
Colour: full white line
Tip: a simple white arrow during extension, a harpoon like arrow when connected
Selection: F8 key x1
Collision with terrain: YES
Weapon animation: YES, rope launching cannon
Bouncing: Worms bounce only for a short time
Speed: increases indirectly proportional with rope length
Aiming: can not be aimed straight down (45° off), except if changed in the weapon editor
Tarzaning: YES (=roping)

[Melon]

Obviously the answer can only be one number.

17

[Oft99]

42

Because 42 is always the answer.

[SupSuper]

I'm sorry, but I revoke the answer to the last question. The original Worms did not have a mole bomb. Worms: Reinforcements (and therefore Worms: United) introduced the Mole Bomb.

Source: http://biphome.spray.se/boggy_b/ (I can give more sources if you want)I checked some other sources and you're right, the Mole Bomb was only introduced in Worms Reinforcements. I apologize for this mistake.

Therefore, the answer to the last question is revoked and changed to 22, so Bonz loses his 3 points, Alien King gets 3 points, Muzer gets 2 points and *Splinter* gets 1 point.

Bläh!
My calculations with my answer were indeed hoping that SupSuper would think the mole bomb is in W1, since I wouldn't have got any points anyway.

[SupSuper]

Correct answer: To summarize, the key differences were that the W1 rope went through the terrain, WDC rope wrapped around it and introduced tarzanning, W2 rope had different physics.

What unique feature (compared to any other racing game) does your car have in World Rally Fever?

Scoring: 1st=4, 2nd=3, 3rd=2

[[UFP]Ghost]

Your car could jump?

[KRD]

Indeed it could, although I've seen that in other games.

[MtlAngelus]

One of these I guess:
-Blink.
-Drop poop.
-Be driven by a large albino monkey.

[[UFP]Ghost]

Indeed it could, although I've seen that in other games.

I'm not so sure, in that game your car could jump for the purpose of jumping, in other games i'v seen cars hop to like get a weapon off of them or to do a glide thing, but this game had jumping because you have to jump. It's just a guess but I can't think of any games that I've come across that could do that.

[bonz]

You need to use the jump button to get past barriers and obstacles in the road.
Also, it's a manga racing game.

[*Splinter*]

Crazy Taxi 2 had jump...

Im still going to say Jump though

[Plasma]

That car was mentioned in a question in this Unofficial Team17 Pop Quiz. No other car could boast that achievement!

[franpa]

The only one to get these facts right was Bonz who gets 5 points.
So, instead of 1st place getting 3 points like you said in the first post, he magically gets 5?

you've since then edited it and made it 1st=4 2nd=3 3rd=2 which still means you gave bonz too many points for his answer.


EDIT: do you wish for me to start copying and pasting answers from previous posts or re-iterating them? I'm not on the leader boards at all... are you just ignoring my participation? (would be good to know so that i can stop wasting time in this thread)

In case you haven't noticed, that's not the same question as the one Bonz got 5 points for.

I'm not on the leader boards at all...
Hmm... and do you think this would have anything to do with you not having any points? Mm?

[franpa]

Ah, I did not know that scoring changes per question, thanks for pointing that out and uh, yea, I overlooked the points thing, sorry.

EDIT: do you wish for me to start copying and pasting answers from previous posts or re-iterating them?
I would still like this answered though. Yes you can never be first if you never take the initiative, but you can be 2nd or 3rd via piggy backing off the first person you think has given a right answer (if they indeed end up being right):)

[SupSuper]

franpa: I am not ignoring your answers, I check this thread regularly, you just haven't answered any questions correctly yet so have zero points and that doesn't go in the ranking.

To clarify: Scoring is different per question, depending on how difficult it is and how generous I feel. It keeps things varied.
And only the first, second and third correct answers are scored. Here's an example:
1. Wrong
2. Correct
3. Wrong
4. Wrong
5. Correct
6. Correct
7. Wrong
8. CorrectOnly answers 2, 5 and 6 would be scored.

(I've edited the rules accordingly to clarify this)

Obviously people can piggyback off other's answers, but it's like copying on a test, you might end up copying the wrong answer, so I allow it.

As for the latest question, take in account the game was released back in 96. (also I'm incredibly lazy and unclever :p)

[Melon]

Obviously the answer can onl*gets shot*

[MtlAngelus]

As for the latest question, take in account the game was released back in 96. (also I'm incredibly lazy and unclever :p)
So you meant something that the game has that no other racing game had back in that year, or you mean something that no other racing game has in ever?

[WormGod]

Ooh!
Was it the only racing game released in 1996? :D :p

Edit:
Well, I guess I'll try being the third person to say your car could hydrolically leap at the push a button.

[Muzer]

It was the only racing game to have an illness in its name?

[WormGod]

Not just any illness...

...a WORLD PANDEMIC OF RALLY FEVER!! :eek:

[KRD]

It was the only racing game to have an illness in its name?

Hm. Wouldn't Death Rally count? I loved that game. :o

What Team17 game does this distorted screenshot come from?

nope, otherwise theyd get payed.

[Alien King]

Alien Breed - Tower Assault.

[Plainplane]

nope, otherwise theyd get payed.But they are considered to be Team17 staff.

/me gets popcornSo with this understanding, the correct answer to that question is indeed 7.

[Shadowmoon]

WTF? i just noticed this!

Scoring: 1st=6, 2nd=4, 3rd=3

Errmm.... this isn't entirely fair

Do you consider that some people can't come online at the time you post the questions? can't you make it, umm, top 5 or something?

:eek:

[Muzer]

Alien Breed: Tower Assault (because ABII is already taken)

[Akuryou13]

Aren't Cybershadow and Deadcode considered Team17 staff?but I don't believe they actually work within the company itsself and therefore logos they design wouldn't be really official company logos. those sorts of logos would have to be done by T17's advertisement department. unless of course T17 operated in some way where that wasn't the case, but either way this whole debate is splitting hairs. the fact is, there are 6 team17 official logos that are licensed by the company and that have been used as advertisement for the company. I'm sure there are plenty more obscure versions but officially there are 6 according to sup's count.

[bonz]

Those six T17 logos have been used over a longer period of time each for several official T17 releases.
The new logo WA logo though is only used as a substitute (for the original logo, one of the official ones) and only in the beta update.

[SupSuper]

Actually, there is one variation missing from the list - a new variation was introduced into the recent beta patches for Worms Armageddon. Therefore that answer should be seven.Ok, upon further inspection, I've decided that the question was simply too ambigious and lazy on my part, so I have withdrawn it. (sorry Akuryou :p)

The end of the matter is that the definition of "logo variation" is incredibly open and there have only been 3 widely-used logos, while there's thousands of different concepts. (official fact)

WTF? i just noticed this!



Errmm.... this isn't entirely fair

Do you consider that some people can't come online at the time you post the questions? can't you make it, umm, top 5 or something?

:eek:You just want more chances to copy. :p

Seriously though, there have rarely been more than three correct answers so far, so I'll keep this system going until this is proven wrong. A lot of people think they already don't have a chance when in fact there's plenty of wrong answers and they just can't tell.

I've already been generous by increased scoring to give newcomers a leg-up into the ranking. (and because I secretly plot Bonz's demise :p)

[SupSuper]

The correct answer was: Alien Breed: Tower Assault. MtlAngelus gets 6 points, Alien King gets 4, Muzer gets 3.

[MtlAngelus]

A .

[KRD]

Nice one. I had an idea for a thread full of such screenshot riddles planned, but then the only community forum I visited died.

Did you have max bounce turned on? If not, I'm pretty sure it exploded at A. Anywhere else looks like it would require really weird bouncing to occur. :p

Edit, even though I shouldn't: I'm starting to lean towards B now because of the way the spoons are. Disregard this if you must.

[shadowman]

It would explode at B, I'm pretty sure.

[Akuryou13]

a and c are the only real options here, and A makes the most sense. it doesn't have nearly the power enough for d and I doubt it'd actually explode at c. b is too high for a 3 second timer so A makes the most sense here.

[Plainplane]

I believe that if it is fired at that specific power on max bounce that spot B would be the correct answer.

[yauhui]

I SAY AYE.

[SupSuper]

I SAY AYE.I assume that's not a real answer. :p

To clarify, it's a min-bounce grenade.

[TeDdywoRm]

The answer is B. Oops, I'm too late. Shadowman already posted it..

C .

Yes this is an answer.

[Shadowmoon]

B

i'm pretty sure it would explode at B.

C, since it's the Only One Left (tm)

They grew from 17 Bit Software, an Amiga PD/Demo user-group in the late 1980's.
