28.

^yeah, this actually won't work Ansonian. would need to answer 25Qs an hour (which is super easy, but only when its b2b) to complete the 100Qs in a 4-hour period for the cash bonus.

might just give up and start in the second period at 3pm....

I'm watching some shows online and doing this, but this is slow as shit right now. I've gotten like maybe three questions so far in about 30 minutes

5/25/2009 1:26:50 PM

I'm setting up my bank info right now. On the ChaCha page it said I would need my numeric user ID but there is nowhere to enter it in the FIBI application thing. Anyone know what's up?

5/25/2009 2:17:41 PM

^^ yea i was all ready to do this contest all day... slow as helllll

^ the user id is like, in the internet browswer when u go to the Underground. it tells you somewhere along the way where to find it.

5/25/2009 2:46:37 PM

i got a pretty stupid question of what clothing material comes from sheep.

5/25/2009 2:53:37 PM

people are retarded.

5/25/2009 2:56:56 PM

I honestly believe that ChaCha has stopped checking the quality of my answers. Maybe it's because I challenged them on every QC that I got below 100%. But I have been at 100% for the past 2 months, so maybe they just put me on the "dude is good to go, don't check his shit anymore" list.

5/25/2009 5:20:39 PM

i tried this out and they said i only can ask two questions per month? is that for real?

5/25/2009 5:21:51 PM

fuck no. I believe the current limit is 4 txt in 72 hrs, but thumb savers are unlimited.

5/25/2009 5:26:05 PM

The message:

Quote :

"Ur close to the usage limit of 2 Qs. U have 1 more in the next 7 days."

I guess I meant 2 questions per week instead of month.

5/25/2009 5:28:10 PM

go to ChaCha.com and get the thumbsaver list. those are unlimited.

they have been constantly experimenting with the usage limits. I can't imagine it will stay at 4/72hrs for very long

Yeah there is a numeric number in there that I don't have any trouble finding, it's just that when I am in the bank application window it says:

"Your ChaCha handle is the moniker you chose. It is not the numeric User ID assigned to you by ChaCha."

5/25/2009 5:48:38 PM

They do still check QA. All i get QA for now is citations (black lists)....


DJE i should be makin u some loot today. I've done 130 questions so far today. 270 more to go by 3am........

And can someone PLEASE explain to me this shoutout bullshit? I've seen questions about it, or people complaining it didn't work, or people sending them. Did I miss the Memo? What do we do here..

5/25/2009 5:56:20 PM

Yes, you are busting ass. I have been trying to get it on today as well

and the whole blacklist thing sucks, because Wiki pretty much always has the best answer. But I usually just quote the Wiki answer, then site a different site to avoid getting dinged.

5/25/2009 5:57:04 PM

^ yep. I get the info from Wiki and then cite a different page. I've gotten plenty of 100%s just from cut and pasting from Wiki.

My goal is to make the last 3 $3 payouts, so along the way i should make $45-50. Thats 5 for you dude!

5/25/2009 9:48:10 PM

I sent nearly 10-15 messages responding to the NASCAR race today with the WRONG RESULTS. I'm gonna get fired.....

5/25/2009 9:49:30 PM

how did you get the wrong results?

5/25/2009 9:53:40 PM

b/c I'm a retard and I hate Nascar.

5/25/2009 9:54:28 PM

17 more question until 99...w00t

5/26/2009 12:42:08 AM

8 more

5/26/2009 12:45:19 AM

you must complete 99 searches during each 4 hour block. I'm 49 away from being done with the last block....

By 3am, I will have answered over 400 questions today..... somebody shoot me.

^I had to work today, so I could only do the 11-3AM and PM block...but it was too slow from 11-3AM

100...bed time

hopefully I got 100% QA

5/26/2009 1:01:28 AM

ChaCha has been giving me the most retarded answers lately, I'm getting very frustrated. The most recent (and worst!) was "What is the phone number for the bojangles on western blvd in raleigh, nc?" and the answer was "Oro Norteno Western Wear, 202 Four Seasons Town Ctr Greensboro, NC 27407. Ph (336)292-6703"

Had some other horrible answers regarding NCAA football 09 for the xbox 360

5/26/2009 2:31:57 AM

you know...... Someone asked me "what are you babbling about? please tell me the answer" and when I looked at his history, ALL of his past 4 responses DID NOT match his Questions at all... maybe the system is messed up or something....

5/26/2009 2:46:16 AM

I made bank on NASCAR the past 2 days.

^ I have been getting a lot of duplicates lately. In other words, I will get a question and when I look in the history a guide has already answered it correctly. So I just cut and paste what the last guide answered, use their source, and give them a "WOW". Easy money.

[Edited on May 26, 2009 at 9:04 AM. Reason : a]

Anyone get your $3 yet for the prize periods? i should have $9 pop up soon, i've won those before... just can't remember how long it took to get it.

Why not just use Google Info to get this?

Send a text to 46645 ("GOOGL") with "Bojangles, Western Blvd, Raleigh, NC" and it'll tell you the address and phone number.

5/26/2009 5:45:32 PM

got my $9 bonus thingy today for yesterday.

5/26/2009 8:22:36 PM

Holy Shit dude! I checked my balance this morning and it was at $10.00. Now it is at $19.95, and I haven't answered a single question today. Either you and the couple others on my team have been killing it today, or they gave me your bonus as well. Either way, that's the shit!

[Edited on May 26, 2009 at 9:08 PM. Reason : a]

5/26/2009 9:08:23 PM

It might give you the bonus too dude! I made $45 plus the 9.. thats fucking sweeeeeet!

5/26/2009 9:23:16 PM

I will say it again.......if just 5 people on my team worked as much as you, i wouldn't even need to answer questions.

5/27/2009 9:36:28 AM

Damn, yall are answering a ton of questions. I haven't been able to get on as often, I guess that's why I've gotten like 5 questions in the past 20 minutes.

I did notice that after the price change, my total went from about $39 to $36

Haha, just got "What is a cation afraid of?" I answered "A dogion! What did the neutrino say to the planet Earth? "

I know that have a new application for movie questions to make answering real simple.
I saw the demo. Is there something I need to download because I thought it would
work automatically?

Are they doing shout-outs now? If so, how does that work. I read something from ChaCha
saying that they were looking into adding this feature.

5/28/2009 1:33:49 PM

Scratch that

I am building my empire $.01 - $.016 at a time.

5/28/2009 1:37:47 PM

they actually pay a portion of a penny for questions? or is that a typo?

5/28/2009 1:40:09 PM

You get 10% of whatever your team does. So if manbearpig answers a $.16 question, I get $.016. I assume they just round it to the nearest penny for the actual payout.

5/28/2009 1:46:29 PM

oooh i get it
