I got ALL correct.....and did not have to look them up to answer:

You've been watching TV!
nope, don't watch secular programs that attempt to depict the Bible, was looking at the news and seen the link, so I answered the q's to see what I could get right.
Altho, I admit that I did have to think like most secular believer's.
So how many did you get?
I just tried it. Got 'em all right too. They were mostly easy, except I confess I did have to guess and use a bit of logic on the one about "How much was Delilah paid for betraying Samson?"
Yup. had to think about that one myself...
I think the answer they give for number 8 is in error. But lets wait awhile before giving things away.
Oh, good point! I didn't read it carefully enough, even on the second reading and comparing it to Gen 7:2 after seeing your post. But finally after reading both the verse and the question/answers more carefully I realized that they got it wrong. None of the answers there is correct, at least the one that is accurate is not complete.
which question was that?

The answer is correct, it is the question that is slightly mis-leading. but if you know the answer then the question is worded correctly....type

Nope, the answer they expect us to choose is incorrect. Read the verse more carefully and compare it very carefully with the "correct" answer below and you'll see what's missing. It's a matter of incorrect numbers.
Technically the fifth answer is more correct than the one they counted as correct, but it's incomplete.

How many of each type of animal did Noah bring on the Ark? 2 unclean 2 clean and 7 unclean 2 unclean and 7 clean 9 unclean 2 clean Technically the fifth answer is more correct than the one they counted as correct, but it's incomplete.
Nope, absolutely wrong. Why? Noah brought[bring] no animals, v1 tells what Noah personally took with him[all your household]. Noah did not go get them because it would have taken more than 7days[v4] for this to happen, and in v2 it states 7clean and 2unclean and I do agree that it is incomplete,

OK, we'll overlook the awkward wording of the question. That wasn't what I was referring to.
The biggest issue is that v2 does not state 7 clean and 2 unclean. Read it again more carefully. I had to read it three times before I noticed this. The quiz answer #3 isn't merely incomplete, it's outright wrong even in the numbers it does state (ignore for the time being that it left out the bit about the birds).
C'mon R4m, it won't kill you to say "Oops, I goofed. I didn't notice that!" That is, once you do notice it...

Genesis 7:1-4 (NET1) 1 The LORD said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, for I consider you godly among this generation. 2 You must take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, the male and its mate, two of every kind of unclean animal, the male and its mate, 3 and also seven of every kind of bird in the sky, male and female, to preserve their offspring on the face of the earth. 4 For in seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the ground every living thing that I have made.”
Genesis 7:1-5 (NRSV) 1 Then the LORD said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you alone are righteous before me in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and its mate; and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and its mate; 3 and seven pairs of the birds of the air also, male and female, to keep their kind alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For in seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground." 5 And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.
A pair = 2 -/- what math do you use?
Yup, that's the math I use. The biblical text describes 2 (one pair) of each kind of unclean animal and 7 pairs (that is 14 in all) of each kind of clean animal.
The answer the quiz gave was 2 unclean and 7 clean. It should have been either 1 unclean pair and 7 clean pairs or 2 unclean and 14 clean.
I stuttered on that one for a minute too - I remembered the pairs wording, (2, 7 pairs, and then the birds). But none of the answers really seemed to be the complete answer.
ended up guessing 2 unclean 7 clean, and viola.
I did get one wrong though - the question about Delilahs payment. I remembered that it was a lot, but couldn't remember just exactly how much, and having 11 in every answer wasn't helping.

I knew that is what you'd reply with. The actual answer would be an actual count of ALL the different types of Clean and ALL the different types of Unclean - way more than 14 or 2..How many different species of animals were living then?..
check this: Genesis 7:8-9 (NRSV) 8 Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground, 9 two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah.
..so how many is that?
but as Scriptures dictates, sobeit. 7clean/2unclean......like I said I had to think like a secular believer....
Even thinking like a "secular believer" (are you trying to slam me there?), it would have to be 7 pairs of clean and 2 individual unclean. The wording of their answer is mixing pairs and singletons.
Yes, of course that isn't the actual answer, but that's what they were aiming at, and they got it wrong even in their own scheme of things.

Well, thinking in the terms of who did the series[I did check that out]. Lions, Tigers, Elephants, etc., etc., have harems, but they [male] got stuck with whatever female God sent....bummer eh.
Snakes eat other animals and are not picky who they impregnate[snake wise/but they tend to stay within their species]....again bummer, eh.
Termites eat wood, was Gopher[resinous wood] wood somehow a repellant?
The list goes on........
Anywho, I thought another question that they asked, near the beginning, was totally false by way of the answer, but then that's my own belief....
