Not necessarily.. Noch got it right XD. And since this is the production in the time of the battle... There might be a "exact number" of how many were built...

Lol no I didn't get it right, I was merely poking fun at the irony of how the question ask for the number to the nearest ten, and gave the answer to the nearest single unit

Looks like theres a typo (on purpose or by accident)... Should of known that was a typo since he never was in WWI but...

[makalu2k6]

I agree. Q3 should say before WW II what other major conflict

For A3 I submitted The Second Battle Of Kharkov, which Timoshenko did fight in, among several others conflicts, because I thought an answer that is the namesake of this twitter quiz would have a better chance of being correct. Obviously that's not the case. I have learned that logic does not apply, and my guess is as good as George Bush's.

Me dont like quiz XD. 0/3... THey made a typo on the question then since I put WWII, which is a major conflict that was not listed in the question... I want my refund lol  

They did a few typos. He did not participate in revolution. It was civil war.
as well as WW2, winter war.
I put all 3:)

I would of put all three but I still believe there is a risk for putting multiple answers.. so thats why I like to stick with one...

Q4: The Pzkpfw III Ausf N utilized 7.5cm L/24 main guns. Why were these guns available?

A4: Because it fired HE shells more effectively than the long barreled 5 cm gun and also because it could fire shape-charged rounds. These guns were avaliable from the Panzer 4s and the panzer 3 need to buff up its firepower

Its iffy... but ill take it . 1/4

EDIT: this was posted after the answer was revealed to clear up some "thoughts on cheating"

The question is, will putting all three disqualify you?

[ArchetypeForward]

For question 3, since Timoshenko did fight in WWI, the answer seemed to come down to the Winter War or World War II, and one of those is definitely more "major" than the other...

Id say WWII would be a better answer because 1, WWII is a more "major" event and 2, the 2nd battle of Kharkov happened in WWII, which is related to this quiz..

My thought process exactly.

Id say maybe... They wouldn't like multiple answers since if they did allow multiple answers, I would put millions of different numbers when they as how many *blank* tanks were built lolz

Ambiguous questions, discrepancies in the answers, I'd say we're all on the receiving end of a very cruel trolling.

Question 5, I answered Army Group Von Kleist because the 1st Panzer Army was a part of it at the time, and Von Kleist was in command of the Army Group, not just the 1st Panzer Army.

Should have said 'to within ten' with hindsight. Idea was to accept a range from about 740 to 760
