The Quizz

[Anthony.]

Hey, I decided to start a general knowledge quizz. The questions are going to be about as many different subjects as possible.

Here's how it works

You post your answers in this topic. If 5 people tried to answer and no-one has the right answer, I give a clue. However, the more clues I give the less points a good answer is worth.

Points

Without a clue : 50 points
1 clue : 40 points
2 clues : 30 points
3 clues : 20 points
4 clues : 10 points
5 clues : Hey, no one got it? That was maybe too hard...

Rules

1 - You can't try two answers in a row.
2 - Anyone can participate.
3 - That's all :D .

Points will be updated after every question here. Good luck!

1st - Will : 1070 pts
2nd - Mark : 905 pts
3rd - EastCoastPunk : 725 pts
4th - Chris : 605 pts
5th - Omar A : 440 pts
6th - Amy : 200 pts
7th - LornVourkolakas : 145 pts
7th - Tim : 125 pts
9th - Hana : 100 pts
10th - Aaron : 50 pts

1st question

Where did the Wright Brothers achived the first powered flight?

What was the name of the plane?

You need to have 2 good answers :D .

Pretty easy one, especially with all the talk about this right now :D .

[Will]

The Wright Brothers flew the first aeroplane in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17th, 1903. They were born in Dayton, Ohio, and the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is home to the museum which houses the first plane that was flown.

Edit: I didn't even look that up. :lol:

[Anthony.]

Part of the answer is missing :rolleyes: :D .

For somebody who leaves their school projects alone and has low grades, your one smart person, Will. Put your brain to use in school and you could be a scholar. No joke man.

Avenger, that hurts. :( :lol:

Oh, and the site that is proof is Lans Aux Meadows, on the northern coast of Newfoundland.

(I&#39;m not sure if that&#39;s how it&#39;s spelt, but it&#39;s something like that.)

LOL.

I accept the 2 answers. I admit I didn&#39;t think about the fact that Greenland is a part of NA because it&#39;s a part of a European country but Will is right. And so is Aaron (Anse aux Meadows :D ) .

So... Points to you two&#33;

Question 7

I watched this race.

On February 11th, 2001, NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt, Sr., died on the last lap of the prestigious Daytona 500 as his new driver Michael Waltrip went on to win his first NASCAR race, while his son, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., came in 2nd place.

Earnhardt raced in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series.

R.I.P.

[Anthony.]

:mellow: People, where are you :D .

Right answer. He could have been saved if he&#39;d have accepted to use a small device called the "Hans"...

Question 9

What&#39;s the name of the northernmost city in North America (questions about Europe soon :D ) .

By the way if you have some SUBJECT suggestions put &#39;em here :D .

There&#39;s a place called North Pole in Alaska. My Uncle Jim lives there. But it&#39;s between Fairbanks and Anchorage, so that&#39;s not the answer. :lol:

Question 2

What does DVD stands for?
Digital Video Disc.

Is there a limit to how many times you can answer in a row?

Edit: Guess not. :lol: Ignore this answer&#33;
WRONG&#33;&#33;

Digital Versatile Disk

No, it&#39;s Digital Video Disk ;) . [/b][/quote]
umm no :rolleyes:



After a lifespan of ten years, during which time the capacity of hard disks increased a hundred-fold, the CD-ROM finally got the facelift it required to take it into the next century when a standard for DVD, initially called digital video disc but eventually known as digital versatile disc, was finally agreed during 1996.

The European Union consists of 15 Member States.

Twelve Member States in the European Union have adopted the single currency.

Denmark and UK have opt-out clauses, which imply that they are not obliged to adopt the euro.

Sweden will join the euro area as soon as it has fulfilled all the conditions.

The euro area is composed of:

Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Finland
(From the EU website)

Question 12

Question 15

What is the fastest bird on Earth? At wich speeds can he dive (+ or - 50kph or 30mph)
The CN Tower isn&#39;t the tallest building. It&#39;s the tallest free-standing structure. ;)

So I&#39;d say Omar A was right.

"The world&#39;s tallest building". I consider this as an official source. However, I may consider splitting the points in 2. Any suggestions?

As for the richest man in the world, my source is Forbes 2003. Your source is The Mac Observer 2001... I belive mine is more reliable :D .

In that case, Chris is right.

New question soon. I&#39;m waiting for your opinions to see what I do with Question 15 (tallest building).

Will has the good answer&#33; Such a beautiful aircraft (http://www.sky-flash.com/sr71/11.jpg).

3rd - Chris : 155 pts
4th - Tim : 125 pts
5th - Omar A : 100 pts

Will is leading the pack by 185 points, but Mark is getting closer (shoe size has increased?). Chris, Tim and Omar A are pretty close, and finally Aaron and Amy have 50 points.

Yeah but some are wrong so I can&#39;t give you the points :D .

Clue 1 : Spain is neutral.
Spain was definitely not neutral, yo. [/b][/quote]
Spain was definitely neutral ;) . Even if General Franco recived lot of help from the Germans (they saw an occasion to test their Luftwaffe, or air force) during the Spanish Civil War, before WW2, Spain declared it&#39;s neutrality in the conflict. Civilians were "free" to join any army they wanted to.

Omar A : Yes (to the edit, not to the first) :D .

Austria was said many times, but it didn&#39;t exist anymore. The Germans made Austria part of the Third Reich before the war, in an event called the Anschluss.
