Thank you!
Hmm, when a chessboard is completely set up you think there are 16 light squares?
Well technically when a chessboard is completely set up there are still 32 light squares.
Yeah, not sure how people would even guess 8 or 16?
If the board is like maple or something, I feel like you can make a pretty good case there are 64 light squares. If it's like newsprint or mahogany, maybe zero.
Also I think nine is a really good guess.
If you're playing blindfold, it's in the eye of the beholder.

When playing blindfold, they're all dark for me.
And w/r/t who is highest rated, I prefer to think of that question in Cosmo terms. In which case the answer is probably Tony Miles, because come on. Hot.
[EDIT] The question said how many empty light squares.

1. What is your favorite piece combo.
Correct Answer:
A. bishop & bishop
B. bishop & knight
C. rook & pawn
D. knight & knight
E. 5 pawns
I got this one correct because of random guessing.
2. How many moves does it take to get a knight from a1 to h8?
I understood what this question meant but the precise question should've been
What is the least amount of moves to get a knight from a1 to h8?
Answer is 6 by the way.

Yeah, he edited it, originally the word empty was missing.
Oh yeah, I also thought it wasn't there initially. I also do that kind of thing all the time to make follow-up posts look silly
I got the question "Is it possible to checkmate with just a knight and a bishop?"
I answered no, because you need a knight, bishop and KING, and the question didn't mention the king. The correct answer was yes, however, so I got it wrong, even though my answer was actually correct.
I've also noticed that are a lot of really badly worded questions that can be interpreted multiple ways.
Yeah, I edited in the empty in my first post. Otherwise, my answer and the correct answer would've both been incorrect. Silly mistake.
@alexdyer I've probably seen more of the terribly worded questions just didn't recognize them.
Hi, everyone. I've recently been playing Endless Quiz and some of the question are terrible or simply just incorrect.
I have two examples.
1. When a chessboard is completely set up, how many empty light squares are there?
I answered 16 and the correct answer is 8! What are you talking about?
2. Who is the highest rated player in chess history?
I put Magnus Carlsen and the correct answer is Garry Kasparov! This one is understandable but still should be modified because it was probably made before 2012.
Does anyone spot my mistake or am I correct?
Plus post bad quiz questions in this thread.
