... and will be documenting our database structure if we must reverse engineer the JSON to create our own version of the DB.
Again, we are not “complaining”¯ in the least and understand the good folks at PixelTail are very busy and there is currently over 3000 questions in the trivia DB queue waiting to be validated; we just want to insure that if we create our own “computer science”¯ related DB (so we can validate faster), that we can eventually dump this DB and merge it with the Open Trivial DB.
We want all our work in the future to be compatible with the Open Trivial DB.
Current stats at Open Trivia DB:
Basically, there has been no movement in the number of verified questions since we began this discussion thread and our two "test question" have not been verified.
In the "not so distant future" I will take the time to reverse engineer the DB and post the results here.
If anyone else has the time to do it (reverse engineer the Open Trivial DB from the API JSON), before I get around to it, please do!

The advantage is that it can take variables for numbers
(e.g.{1}: echo "Give me first"
read lol
echo "Give other"
read lil
sum=`expr $lol + $lil`
echo "The sum of $lol and $lil =... (5 Replies)
