Example with pics of Another Bad This or That Quiz
Okay, HeyU-notU-U , I just went over your screenshots (again). And, according to YOUR screenshots, you HAD (unfortunately) chosen the incorrect answer. The last time I checked (and I did so three times), 1,302 ft. IS, in FACT, LESS than 1,480 ft. *(You may have- as I have done before) misread the question/ answer. Be that as it may, I believe there COULD be a/n "This or That" alternative.
Here's a thought, what if YOU COULD change (the) "This or That?" What would it be, and how would you like it to work? Keep in mind, (though); it MUST contain these (three) components:
- a choice (between two answers);
- 5 points for each CORRECT answer (for a chance to earn a TOTAL of 50 points; AND, (of course),
- a (the initial) question summing up the theme as a whole.
There is already enough negativity in this world. Let's try to make it (the world) more positive by finding the things we LIKE. No 'one' of us (individually) is "perfect." After all, we are only HUMANS, and ALL make mistakes. However, If- WHEN- we work together, we CAN make a difference for EVERYONE. Let's try to make this a better place by starting with POSITIVE POSSIBILITIES. Right here, right now, YOU can make 'it' happen.
❤️❤️❤️
Rae_Rae Yes! You are correct that 1,302 ft. IS, in FACT, LESS than 1,480 ft. (I got my measuring tape out to double check ). But...
The Architectural height of Landmark 81 is actually 1,513 ft., not 1,302 ft. which is what Bing said it was. Which means the Landmark is taller. Which means, I chose the correct answer! Bing had the wrong answer. That was the point of that post.
As for your proposal for fixing This or That, the way I would fix it is to stop penalizing wrong answers whether it is Bing that is wrong or us. So, I disagree with your second bullet. The answer shouldn't need to be correct. No other quiz or activity penalizes wrong answers. Give me another chance at it and, for sure, I'll get it right!
The bottom line on these activities is that Microsoft is providing us with incentives to generate clicks for Bing. Plain and simple. Don't penalize me for helping you is my message (the you in this case is Microsoft).
And, let me say this to you...I really appreciate your thoughtful approach to this!! I wish you were on the Bing team! Alyxe can you see if there is an opening on the Bing team for Rae_Rae ?

(Sweetheart, HeyU-notU-U . "...measuring tape..." LUV it! LOL!)
I think you misunderstand the questionable difference between 'Architectural Height' and 'Tip.' To help you along, here is a link to explain how skyscrapers are measured:
10-different-ways-to-measure-a-skyscrapers-height
*Please note, I find the first THREE answers to be the MOST helpful. Also, please, be aware of the KEY phrase “functional-technical equipment” as described 'first.'
As for (the) "proposal," have you/ can you come up with something YOU WOULD like to see/ do/ have on Bing!? I am curious to know, however, if doing "this or that' does NOT make you HAPPY, then why do you continue (to do/ 'play' "this or that"), please?

Bing had/has the two measurements reversed. Consequently, the Bing answer was/is wrong (checking Wikipedia). I have been always comparing Architectural Heights throughout this ordeal. I just checked and Bing is still wrong.
As for your other question, I would be ok Microsoft would just not penalize us for wrong answers (theirs or ours). Microsoft will still get their clicks and we will still get our points.
Seems fairly simple to me.

This started in 2020 and your STILL panelizing us and getting answers wrong so we dont get points for rights answers. STOP panelizing us and give us points for effort!
