Sapien Loop Quiz 6

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my sixth Sapien Loop Quiz. It has been three months since I ran my previous quiz. In July and August, I ran the Economics Challenge Series. I have made the challenge series an annual event. For the next three months, I will return to running one Sapien Loop quiz a month. In December, I will run the Christmas contest.

In my previous quizzes, I only asked questions from the first few parts of the book. From here onwards, I will be asking questions from anywhere in the book. I am hoping that my regular participants will have finished reading the whole book by now. Just in case they have been busy, I am letting this quiz run for ten days.

Where to Read the Book

Sapien Loop is the title of my ebook. I have published it on Amazon, links to all the relevant Amazon sites are provided in the signature of this post. Individual chapters are also available on my @captainhive account, as well as collections on this account. See below:

I hope everyone enjoys reading the book; there is a lot to cover.

How to Play

These quizzes are very simple to play. Participants are required to answer multiple-choice questions. Participants choose from five possible answers. The answers can be found in the book. Most questions are simple and direct. Occasionally, there will be a few difficult questions that require the participants to interpret characters intentions and emotions.

How to Win

The winner is the participant who answers the most questions correctly. If there is a tie, the participant who entered first wins. In order to win, a participant must also answer more than half of the questions correctly. For example, if there are seven questions, the participant needs to answer at least four correctly to have a chance of winning.

Prizes

The winner of this contest will receive 30 Hive Power. If this contest has no winner, the Hive Power will be rolled over to next month’s contest. The first twelve entries will receive an upvote.

My New Book, Sapien Loop

I have published an ebook on Amazon; it is titled ‘Sapien Loop: End of an Era’. The book is fiction. I do not normally write fiction. However, I felt it was appropriate considering what is happening in the world today. Freedom is the most important thing we have, but we are gradually losing it. I have covered this in many of my posts.

In the story, most citizens do not understand the concept of freedom because they have never really experienced it. In essence, the story is about an alien world that might represent our not-so-distant future. There are many other elements to the story that are an abstract and exaggerated version of our reality. I believe this book to be an important read, and I believe it has the potential to change the way you think.

Brief Summary of Sapien Lopp

This story is based on the fictional planet Sapia and its sole country, Sapey. Sapey is portrayed as a form of utopia for all its citizens. No poverty. No war. Almost no crime. Opportunities for all.

This was enough for most citizens, but not all. In one of the small regions, some of the citizens had become discontent. They felt something important was missing in their lives. Their discontent did not go unnoticed. Some of the Sapey elite wanted to weaponise this discontent to gain more power. This created more chaos than they anticipated. This led to further widespread social unrest.

On top of the chaos, ambition and greed provoked another enemy. This enemy was on a mission to settle both new and old scores.

If you want to buy a copy of the book, below are links to the relevant Amazon websites for each country it is available in. The book is priced at approximately US$5.08.

I am also running monthly contests where participants are required to answer questions based on the book. The prize is 30 Hive Power plus upvotes for the first twelve entries. You can recover the cost of the book with just one win.
