Remember to PM me the answers, good luck to everyone who enters. Also as you may notice, there is no Question 10 this week, its difficult to think of those questions x[ I'll be more prepared next time.

--The Detonator--

I dont want to be a jerk or anything but according to KCVDS "Polymerisation" is spelled with a "z" not an "s". I just thought I would let you know 0.o

@ Coolnerdbird,
I'm Australian so we use S's instead of Z's in words like "organise" etc. So its just habit.

RESULTS:

Question 1:
Correct answer: c
a). 0%
b). 12.5%
c). 50%
d). 37.5%
e). 0%

The correct answer was c. and most of you did well with this question.

Response a).
This statement is correct, you can only use a Fusion-Substitute monster for monsters that are specifically listed on a Fusion Monster. That means a specific monsters name is written rather than a Type or Attribute as the material. Furthermore, you can only use 1 Fusion-Substitute monster per Fusion Summon.

Response b).
This statement is also correct. There are some Fusion Monsters (such as the Gladiator Beast Fusion Monsters) that do not actually use Polymerisation and require you to instead remove or send cards from the field to the Deck, Graveyard etc. You cannot use Fusion-Substitute monsters in this case as you are not actually conducting a Fusion Summon. If you read the text of these cards they state that you are Special Summoning the card, not Fusion Summoning it.

Response c).
This statement is the incorrect statement. Fusion-Substitute monsters cannot be used in a Fusion Summon where the Fusion Monster states in the card text that: "A Fusion Summon of this card can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters". This text overrides the ability of a Fusion-Substitute monster to be used as a substitute because you are not meeting the condition of the Fusion Monster when attempting to Fusion Summon it. In order to meet the condition you MUST use the stated materials because its the only way the Summon can be conducted due to the way the card's text is worded.

Response d).
This was a tricky response as many of you gave it as your answer. Fusion-Substitute monsters cannot be used for unnamed Fusion Material monsters. Fusion-Substitute monsters state that they must be used as a substitute for a Fusion Material MONSTER, because of this they cannot be used for an attribute or a type of monster as these are not classified as monsters.

Response e).
Once again this statement was correct. Like i stated aboce, Fusion-Substitute monsters cannot be used for unnamed Fusion Materials and the same goes for monster with both named and unnamed materials. You can only use a FUsion-Sunstitute for the named material.


Question 2:
Correct answer: e
a). 37.5%
b). 12.5%
c). 0%
d). 0%
e). 50%

Same skew as the first question. Let's reveiw.

Response a).
Many of you answered this incorrectly and i can see why. Many people get muddled up with Miracle Fusion and Rainbow Neos. Miracle Fusion can only be used quite simply on an "Elemental Hero" Fusion Monster and although Rainbow Neos has an Elemental Hero Material Monster, it itself is not an "Elemental Hero" Fusion monster. This means Mircale Fusion cannot Fusion Summon it.

Response b).
This response was also incorrect. Rainbow Neos as we covered in the first question, has one of those text where a condition needs to be met to Fusion Summon him. Fusion-Substitute monsters cannot be used as the text states only the above Fusion Material monsters can be used. Substitutes cannot override this condition so King of the Swamp cannot be used.

Response c).
This cannot be correct because Rainbow Neos states in his effect text that he can only be summoned by Fusion Summon and the tribute effect of Hex Sealed Fusion does not actually Fusion Summon the target Fusion monster. Also, like I said above, you cannot use a Fusion-Substitute monster to Summon Rainbow Neos as he has a condition in place that only the written Fusion Materials can be used.

Response d).
Once again, this cannot be done for 2 resions. 1st being that Fusion-Substitute monsters have no effect while in the Deck (so they can never be used with Future Fusion), and secondly, once again. Rainbow Neos needs it Specific Materials to be used in the Fusion Summon.

Response e).
The only correct response was e). and could only be identified if you knew all the above about Fusion Summoning cards like Rainbow Neos.


Question 3:
Correct answer: b
a). 50%
b). 25%
c). 0%
d). 12.5%
e). 12.5%

I knew this would be difficult and it appeared it was. Nobody was very sure about the correct answer with 75% of you giving the incorrect responses. Well done to the few that got it right.

Response a).
The most vital thing to notice here is the way the Hex-Sealed monsters work. Firstly they can be used as Fusion Substitute monsters, thats fine, but the second effect that they possess is the tributing effect which SPECIAL SUMMONS the Fusion Monster, it does not FUSION SUMMON it. This is important as most Fusion Monsters like Cyber Twin Dragon state that they can only be Fusion Summoned with the above materials. BUT if you are not specifically Fusion Summoning and simply special Summoning (like you are with the hex-sealed monsters) then this Summon is perfectly legal as the restriction is placed only if you want to Fusion Summon. Watch out for wordings in EVERY card when dealing with things like this.

Response b).
This is the correct response. The reason for this is because you cannot Special Summon a Fusion Monster from the Graveyard unless it was properly Fusion Summoned before it was sent there. By using the tributing effect of the Hex-Sealed monster, you are simply Special Summoning the monster not Fusion Summoning it. This prevents you from further Special Summoning Cyber Twin Dragon as it's specific Summoning Condition (the original Fusion Summon) has not been met.

Response c).
Incorrect, you can use both of The Light - Hex Sealed Fusion's effects at the same time to Special Summon a Fusion Monster.

Response d).
A bit decieving but most of you realise that in today's game, it is so easy to change the level of monster on the field. Cards like Level Eater or Demotion all can change the levels of cards on the field. If you do so enough then yes, it is possible to equip Fusion Weapon to Cyber Twin Dragon.

Response e).
Incorrect.


Question 4:
Correct answer: a
a). 62.5%
b). 37.5%
c). 0%
d). 0%
e). 0%

looks pretty good to me with the number of correct responses. But lets have a look anyway.

Response a).
This was the correct answer, and as we saw from above, the reason for this is because it is possible to Special Summon a Fusion Monster without having to consider it a Fusion Summon.

Response b).
Fusion Monsters most certainly can be returned to the "Deck" by a card effect like Pot of Avarice's or Morphing Jar #2's but are instead sent to the Extra Deck as they cannot be placed into the Deck. However, they cannot be sent to the "Deck" as a part of a cost for an effect or condition. This is because if the condition or cost needs the card to return to the Deck it simply cannot happen as the Fusion Monster cannot go to the Deck. Remember the difference between costs and effects. Costs are conditions and are specific, effects are resolutions and will do not require specificity.

Response c).
Remember that cards like Call of the Haunted can be used on a Fusion Monster in the Graveyard as long as the Fusion Monster was sent there after being sucessfully Fusion Summoned.

Response d).
Simply incorrect. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase on the first turn full stop.

Response e).
Incorrect again. Fusion Materials an be used from the field or the hand when you activate Polymerisation.


Question 5: FALSE
True: 75%
False: 25%

Ok we are still having some problems with the inherent and effect Special Summons. I feel a Tutorial is necessary to solve this problem. Fusion Summons are not Inherent. Fusion Summon's are all Summoned through effects of cards. Take Polymerisation for example, the card's effect is what sends the Fusion Materials to the Graveyard and is what Special Summons the Fusion Monster in the end. The Fusion monster does not Fusion Summon itself to the field with its own effect (which is the definition of a Inherent Special Summon). I'm going to keep asking similiar questions like this until you get them right!! Look at last weeks quiz, question 8 and 9 for the detailed explanations in Inherent Special Summons.


Question 6: TRUE
True: 100%
False: 0%

Well done everyone! They are both the same thing. The Extra Deck was once known as the Fusion Deck but due to the introduction of Synchro Monsters it is now referred to as the Extra Deck.


Question 7: FALSE
True: 12.5%
False: 87.5%

Nice work by most of you! I thought more of you would get this wrong but you all did a good job. When you activate De-Fusion you do not have to Summon the Fusion Material monsters that were used. THat part of the effect is optional. SO you are allowed to activate De-Fusion if you do not have toom for the monsters, so that means the Fusion monster will be returned to the Extra Deck and you will not be able to summon any Fusion Material monsters.


Question 8: FALSE
True: 37.5%
False: 62.5%

From the answers to previous questions, we are aware that not all Fusion Monsters are Fusion Summoned to the field when they are Special Summoned. This statement suggest that every time you Special Summon a Fusion monster it is treated as a Fusion Summon and that is incorrect. Sometimes Fusion monsters are simply Special Summoned by the means of Call of the Haunted while it is in your Graveyard (also cards like The Light - Hex Sealed Fusion's second effect SPECIAL SUMMONS the Fusion monster it does not Fusion Summon it). All Fusion Summons are Special Summons but a Special Summon is not restricted to Fusion Summoning so be careful with the way a card is worded when you are Special Summoning a Fusion monster.


Question 9:

See above question for detailed answer.


Nobody aced the test this week. But congratulations to both Gothicmess and Captain Chrono for being the 2 participants with a score of 8/9. You have both been awarded 200 SC and may take part in next weeks quiz but you will not recieve SC if you get the highest score.
