Question about challenges

[segacs]

I've noticed that challenges issued by some users have their scores displayed, while ones from other users display with a hidden score shown as a question mark until the other player finishes it. Is this a setting someplace? Or is it random?

I'm just curious because I typically decline "impossible" challenges that look like they were earned by someone cheating. With the question marks, it's really hard to tell which these are.

I am not certain, but I believe the question mark means the other user actually has not played the quiz yet.

Pretty sure that's not it, because if I play one of those quizzes, I get the win/loss and the other user's result reported right away.

If you click 'Challenge' before you've registered a score already -- then a '?' challenge will be sent to your opponent. If you do the quiz first, then your opponent will see that result right away and the win/loss. If they do the quiz first before you do, then you will also see a '?' until you do the quiz.

Aha. That makes sense. Thanks.

On a related note, is there a way to decline an impossible challenge and still play the quiz?  I get challenges from players who get scores like 12 answers in 6 seconds, which is insane (I think they play anonymously until they ace the quiz, then challenge other players - very tacky).  The thing is, some of these look like fun quizzes, but when I decline them, I can't find them anymore.

Just open the quiz in another tab (ctrl+click) and decline the challenge in the current tab.

Thanks!  That works.
