How to do the quiz?
Sometimes a small set of quiz questions are assigned to you. How do you do them?
- If you login to this site, then you will see a small orange box (like the one below) appearing on the upper right corner.
You enter your answer (like “1” or “2”, without quotation marks) into this textbox and then click Enter or hit enter.
- Once you do this, you may get a message and the box may turn green.
- If you submit another answer, then only the newest answer will count.
- You can also text your answer, from your phone, to this number:
- 831-704-8855
- (this number is not an ordinary phone number; it is a text-only phone number associated with a computer server, not with any phone).
- If you use this method, your answer must include the quiz question number (such as 1.1, or 1.2).
- For a single answer, your text should look like this.
1.2: 3
Here, 1.2 is the question number and 3 is the answer key.
- You can also text all answers for a certain quiz set. For example, let us say that quiz 2 has three questions, and your chosen answers are 1, 2, and 4. The two following texts are completely equivalent ways to submit your answers.
2: 1 2 4
2.1: 1, 2.2: 2, 2.3: 4
Any colon (:) can be replaced by a semi-colon (;). Any comma (,) can be replaced by a space character ( ), and vice versa.
Your phone number will be saved as an obfuscated secure hash on the server—this means that it will not be possible for a human to know the number. Only the secure hash of an obfuscated version of your phone number is used as a secure ID for quiz or other activities.
