Billkozy's Manmade Wonders
Billkozy on 02/17/2007 |
Welcome to the February Challenge Quizzes -- a game for quiz takers and makers. This is my take on the Community Quiz, "Manmade Wonders." Some of you who answered my survey already know what this quiz will be about, and a huge thank you to all who participated! I polled Sploofusers, those who wrote quizzes about architecture, and many others as well, asking them to vote for their "5 Favorite Architectural Achievements Throughout History" I heard back from 110 people, and using a formula that combines the order they placed their choices in with the sheer number of votes received, I tallied the results and have discovered what the overall Top 10 were. They are the focus of this quiz. So without further ado, the following quiz features the Top 10 Favorite Architectural Wonders that Sploofusers have voted for. Thank you so much to all of you who took part--you make this a lot of fun for me, and I can only hope you have fun seeing what you and your colleagues voted for. Best Wishes, Bill PS: For the extra curious here are the Favorite Architectural Achievements that finished from 30th to 11th place: 30-Palace of Versailles 29-Petrona Towers, Kuala Lampur, Malaysia 28-Roman Aqueducts 27-Chrysler Building; New York, NY 26-Hanging Gardens of Babylon 25-Colossus at Rhodes 24-Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris 23-Sistine Chapel 22-Channel Tunnel (Chunnel) 21-Sphinx, Egypt 20-Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water 19-Machu Pichu 18-Brooklyn Bridge 17-World Trade Center Twin Towers 16-Mount Rushmore 15-Leaning Tower of Pisa 14-Gateway Arch, St. Louis 13-Panama Canal 12-Hoover Dam and just missing out on the top 10...in 11th place was The Roman Coliseum. And please don't forget to rate the quiz! Thanks!
