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