Marble Blast Trivia Rules
The game is simple, and there are only a few rules you need to follow:

1. Anyone may participate by simply answering questions as they please.
2. EACH person is allowed ONE answer per question. If nobody answers the question correctly, a hint will be provided, and each person will be allowed a SECOND guess. After two minutes, the next question will be announced.
3. The first person to correctly answer the question will be awarded one point and their name will be announced as the winner of the point.
4. The points you win in today's game will be combined with points you win in future trivia events until November 1st, 2014.
5. The users with the top 5 points on November 1st, 2014 will be granted a special reward. All users who earn at least one point will also be granted a participation achievement.
6. If you believe a person was granted points incorrectly or that a solution may be incorrect, you may contest the situation by typing into chat "OBJECTION", followed by your reasoning. Objections that are deemed correct will award the player that objects with one point. Objections that are deemed incorrect will pose no penalty to the objecting player. However, if one player objects excessively, points may be deducted at our discretion.
[hr]
Marble Blast Trivia Notes

Question 2: Name the Marble Blast Platinum level that consists of solely a large, moving interior.
If scenery is not included then CDC is right. Quaked path has scenery that is static.
Also "moving interior" is singular, not plural, so that rules out both, and the question also asks for "large".
Platform Race 1/2 has the moving platform + scenery move up with the player, making it the largest moving interior in MBP, but it does not consistent largely of that (it's more about challenges).

Fun knowledge :)

If you count custom Marble Blast Platinum online levels, Safe Platforms by Buzzmusic is one large moving interior (I think).

Most of it is. There are a few non-moving interiors though.
