I am keen to have a go at creating a Starcraft 2 fact quizz (MCQ) but I need some help with the questions. I can go to something like Starcraft Wiki and get some basic questions from there (e.g. how long does it take to build x thing or research y), but I am actually after some more interesting questions (and answers!). For example, how many shots does it take for a stalker to kill a banshee or what colour does the techlab glow when building a marauder or stuff like that. If you can PM me so that people cannot see the answer ahead of time, that would be super. If, at the end of the day, I get stuck on survey monkey/ give up on creating a MCQ test, I'll just make a post of interesting facts instead.

I dunno man, what colour DOES a tech lab glow when it's building a marauder?

[matthras]

You could probably rip a few interesting ones off SC2 Mythbusters - they have a Youtube channel with two seasons of episodes. Although that probably isn't the best idea :P

Yeah, this ended up being a bad (epic fail) example and is proof on why I need help for my questions
I had this vague recollection from a caster zooming into the techlabs and talking about green and blue glows - and for some reason remembering it had something to do with mauraders (I didn't double check this "fact" as you can tell). I went off to watch a replay since your post to check this out properly and bah mauraders don't do squat to the glow.

The tech lab glows a green colour when researching (e.g. stim, health, or concussive shells), and maybe a red sort of colour when nothing is going on (I'm a bit colour blind - so ...).

Sorry man, don't mean to be a wet blanket but it has already been done by SC@Mythbusters. Maybe you can contact them to ask for permission to use their questions and answers if you give credit?

Just to give a few examples:

For the lols

• Two Infestors can Neural Parasite each other at the same time
• You can Fungal Growth units in a vortex to keep them clumped together
• Chrono Boost makes Hatcheries produce Larva faster
• You can Graviton Beam eggs to stop them from training

You can actually learn something

• You can use the minimap to cast Feedback
• If you don't cancel an upgrade when its building is destroyed, the resources are lost
• You can share control to mine an ally's gas
• Medivacs will heal the most damaged units first.

My personal faves

• You can /dance a neural parasited unit
• A neural parasited unit will keep dancing after Neural Parasite expires
• A chrono boosted Barracks will fly faster
• An unlimited amount of SCVs can repair at the same time oh yeah baby

Because I am nice I'll link all the videos here

I plan to post the answers soon along with how people answered each question. I have had 13 responses so far and am tempted to hold out for a little longer to get more data. You will need to remember what you answered though because the scores will be averaged.
