I just did a Sploofus quiz that has an incorrect answer.
I'll spoilerize the question and answer(s)
Question
Around the world, which animal supplies the most milk?
Answer
The answer that the quiz wants is goat but that is incorrect. Cows supply the most milk. I find some websites that claim more people drink goat's milk than cow's milk but total production is far and away more from cows.
I have not written questions or done much on Sploofus other than the QOD. What's the best way to give feedback to authors?
No matter where you go, there you are.

I have come across two with errors (that I noticed, anyway). One where the correct answer was wrong (last name of person) and one where part of the clue was wrong (wrong method of murder). Both times I messaged the author in the place they give you when rating the quiz, but I think you can pm anyone just from clicking on their name.
I got replies from both and they were both very appreciative (I was polite in my message and mentioned how much I enjoyed their quizzes).
I find that, overall, people on Sploofus are very nice. I've gotten messages from total strangers congratulating me whenever I get a WTHAI right or get a good score on something.
I'm darned good and ready.

Send a message to the author. That's what I did when I took a quiz that had the wrong number of stars on the Australian flag
The quiz said it was 5, but it is 6 - 5 for the Southern Cross and then a 6th star on the left side)
I'm assuming the author fixed the quiz, but since I couldn't retake it I don't know. As far as correcting the score, that I don't know about either.
