Subject: Daily Trivia by Merry & Pippin

Written By: Tam on 08/06/09 at 11:13 am

Daily Trivia Tournament

Hey Everyone!

A couple of years ago I was introduced to this general knowledge trivia website by none other than our very own FussBudgetVanPelt!

I used to go everyday, but then of course things happen and I forgot all about it. Well, last month I started playing again. Mooster and I are about the only ones still doing the trivia, so I thought that it would be something to get us all into again. Just click the link, create an account and then take the trivia test. There is a new one every day and it takes all of maybe 1 minute to complete. There are different skill levels, from easy to super hard (or something like that) and you accumulate points for each daily trivia you complete. You also win trivia fun bucks, but I have never really dug deep to find out what they can be used for.

So if you are looking for something to do each morning when you get up, or each night before you go to bed - take the trivia test! You just might learn something new!!! 8)

Thanks again FussBudget!!!


Tam

This time for me 10:00am to 10:30am is a stack time on inthe00s, so I was hoping to keep myself there until things start moving again.

Fun Trivia sets the questions each day - it has nothing to do with Don. He is just a very knowledgeable person. Also from what I remember when I used to play regularly, each person is given a different set of questions to answer daily that are randomly generated by the site.

Congrats on your score  :)

Seriously?
I didn't know that it was a different set of questions for each player! I learned something new today! Haha!
And I also learned that it isn't Don who sets them up! Good to know. 8)

I am usually pretty fast, but too fast and make careless mistakes. Plus I have "dial-up service" and I lose a few seconds there as well. But it's a fun quiz though, and at least yesterday I didn't have US college football question!

I got 9 right in 113 seconds---why? Because my daughter decided to come in and talk to me
about freakin' Donovan McNabb (Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback,) just as I started taking the
quiz. I asked her if she could wait 1 minute, no ------ she had to say her piece then and there.
Her distraction cost a correct answer and a lot of time.

Before anyone gets the idea about how lousy a dad I am for not taking the time with my daughter;
she is 24 years old, she lives in my house and I told prior to me taking the quiz that I was going to
take the quiz. >:(

I got 10 right today but I needed extra time, 74 seconds I believe. I was asked how many colors are in a
rainbow. To be sure I was right I started singing the rainbow song from Captain Noah, a children's show
from my youth. (Red and Yellow and Pink and Green, Purple and Orange and Blue. I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too.)

Until recently I assumed we all got the same quiz.  There's some discussion a couple of pages back about this.  There's some sort of pool of questions for the various 'themes'.  I don't know how often they get updated, I recall getting the same question twice about a week or so apart.

Today, as my last quiz I am going to do, I answered option 3 to each question.
Somehow I got 6. The odds say I should get between 2 and 3 right.


I was going to do the same thing, I figured the silliness was just too much. Then I got to thinking, so what if
it's a little silly it doesn't hurt anything and it's not like the trivia world will be knocking down my door to play
in a multimillion dollar tournament. It's just fun to see how many I can answer, and who knows, maybe I'll learn
a thing or two along the way.

I took a little longer than I should have because of spelling. The question:

I know the answer is tires but the answer grid had tyres, I thought it might be a trick question but it was the only
answer to fit so I guessed right.

Technically, I suppose none of the answers would have been correct. Venomous snakes use venom. Poisonous snakes - i.e. the snake itself is poisonous - are very rare (I believe there are only three species).

I agree, a group of bananas is called a hand and each banana is called a finger, not necessarily lady fingers ---
just fingers.

It's rather confusing. As I understand it, there's "ladyfinger" (small banana) and "lady's finger" (apparently some type of plant, but it can also be okra - if you're British). Then there's a sort of sponge finger known as "ladyfinger" in US, but spelt as "lady's finger" in UK.
I could be wrong, though. :-\\

I had this question, had it correct but changed it because it is actually incorrect.

Harry M. Stevens of Niles, Ohio was the first person to think of wrapping up a frankfurter in a piece of bread and calling it this?

The answer they gave is Hot Dog, Stevens wasn't the first to call it a hot dog. T. A. Dorgan, a sports cartoonist, drew a cartoon
depicting a Daschund on a bun and called it a hot dog. Stevens saw the cartoon and started referring to them as hot dogs, this
was in the early 1900's. There is written record of the term hot dog for a frankfurter in the late 1880's and in 1895 a Yale newspaper
ran a humorous poem about someone who bites the dog when it's placed in a bun.

So did Stevens think of it.....no, but when the legend becomes fact ---- print the legend.

Ah, now that might have been a tricky question depending on the answers given.  Camberwick Green is part of a community of villages/towns, each with their own separate show.  I might have muddled up whether it was Camberwick Green, Trumpton or Chigley that a particular character belonged to.

Though I can't remember the other three options given, I'm quite sure neither Trumpton nor Chigley was amongst them. So no chance of muddling up there. ;)

I guess this would be tough for those outside the U.S. but the Deadman's Hand, as legend would have it, is the hand
that Wild Bill Hickok was holding at the time of his murder, hence the name.

10. You should wash your dog with a shampoo that won't dry their coats.

What is the correct way to write this sentence?

Your Answer: The sentence is correct; no changes are needed
The correct answer was You should wash your dog with a shampoo that won't dry its coat..

"Dog" is singular, so "their" must be the singular "its." Another correct way to write this sentence would be, "You should wash your dogs with shampoos that won't dry their coats." In this case, all words are plural.

"Dog" is singular, so "their" must be the singular "its." Another correct way to write this sentence would be, "You should wash your dogs with shampoos that won't dry their coats." In this case, all words are plural.

I've not had that particular version of the question, but have had two or three of the same sort.  Something about ladies with ribbons on a hat springs to mind

Anyway I don't like that sort of question - it takes too long to read all the options and consider them.

Agreed.
There is no way a person could get under 35 seconds with questions like that - not without just outright guessing. ;)

Unless of course, they have been playing the games for so long they know every single question and answer!!! ::)

Perhaps a friend from across the pond could clarify this for me. I thought it was a trick question,
but now I think it just may be erroneous.

The Question:

Which of these did not have a Celtic history?

A) Ireland
B) Scotland
C) Wales
D) England

I thought the Celts spread throughout Great Britain and even Northen Europe. This is where I thought trick question.
I chose Wales only because of it's more Southern and Coastal location, I guessed wrong. According to the quiz, England
was the correct answer, I dispute that. Can someone enlighten me?

Well I would say all of them had some Celtic connection.  Ireland, Scotland and Wales were predominatently Celtic but there was also a small area (modern-day Cornwall) in England that is considered one of the Celtic nations.

Also an area in France was a Celtic nation and Celts were spread about acors much of northern Europe, as you say.

After reading the links  provided from you and Philip there was a Celtic presence in England. It wasn't very large nor
did it last very long but there was a presence none the less, my dispute still stands.

Henk, I felt that way awhile ago and almost quit but after some thought I decided to keep playing. It was the same
time that Frank quit playing; this is the response I gave him on his last day.

I was going to do the same thing, I figured the silliness was just too much. Then I got to thinking, so what if
it's a little silly it doesn't hurt anything and it's not like the trivia world will be knocking down my door to play
in a multimillion dollar tournament. It's just fun to see how many I can answer, and who knows, maybe I'll learn
a thing or two along the way.


I don't care who I beat or how many I get right or how long I take, I take the quiz because I like trivia. Don't
get discouraged, just keep banging along, it'll get better.

6. Okay, I'm a bit of an amateur musician. One of the instruments I play is a stringed instrument, is played with a bow, is small, and is held under the chin. What instrument can I play? 

Your Answer: Cello

Of course it's a violin - and I'm sure I ticked the right box.  :-\\

I got this question again.

6. As a matter of common decency you don't normally put your shoes on a table, but why can't you do so in England? 

The last time I got this question I said:

Your answer: Because it refers to hanging and is therefore not advisable.

The correct answer: Because the English don't wear socks.


I remembered that stupid answer, even posted it a few pages back, so that's what I clicked....guess what?

Your Answer: Because The English Don't Wear Socks.

The correct answer:  Because it refers to hanging and is therefore not advisable.

Will I ever get this question right?

9. How can we say "writing all joined up" in two words? 

Your Answer: Simple Writing
The correct answer was Cursive Writing.

Some people feel more comfortable by writing 'joined up', because they spend less time to write. Other people think that cursive writing doesn't fit their character or emotions. It's often called 'running writing'.


I'd never heard the expression before today, so how was I supposed to know? And the explanation don't make sense to me. How's writing cursive saving time..? :-\\

I nearly missed one today.  I use a mouse pad and it interpreted my moving the pointer across to the answer dot and then clicking as meaning I wanted to highlight one of the words in the answer.  Luckily I spotted it before I scrolled down the page.

I tripped myself up on one today, I switched from the right answer to the wrong one.

What is another name for a female fox? I clicked on Vixen but then I saw Kit and switched to that,
bad move. A kit is a baby fox not necessarily female, stupid me.

I got that question several times, and never got it wrong. I'm always reminded of the band by the name of Vixen. Surely you've heard of them?

Howard created a question for the quiz?  ???



10. If a woman was "stacked", what did she have?

Your Answer: Large breasts

"Stacked" was one of the milder terms to express a part of the female anatomy. Of course, the basic tight sweater style of the 50s added much to our descriptive vocabulary.

I don't think it is possible!
But then again - people have told me it is because he does so many other quizzes that he just looks at a couple of words, knows the answer, checks it and moves on! I still don't believe it as being possible!

I took 1 second longer, I got stuck on a question about a movie I've never seen and a question about a place

Supposedly very easy quiz today - however I get this stupid question!!!

5. This is the surname of the lady who won the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1911.

Your Answer: Carlucci
The correct answer was Curie.

Born Marya Sklodowska in 1867, Marie Curie won the prize for her discovery of radium and polonium. She died in 1934 as a direct result of exposure to radiation.

What an appropriate question for me. ;D

5. You see this animal look at you and you run away, and it happens everytime you go near a pond! You must have this, Batrachophobia?

Your Answer: Toads and Frogs

Batrachophobia is the fear of toads and frogs, Melissophobia is the fear of bees.

I had 6 right today, I should have had 9 but boneheaded moves ended that, I switched 3 answers

I had one of those longish questions that make you wonder if there' s a catch somewhere

General: 10 Question Easy Quizzes: Remember the Old Dating Techniques?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. You and your girlfriend are sitting down at the table and getting ready to look over the menus. What is the one thing that you SHOULD do while you are eating?

Chew with your mouth closed
Burp, to let the waiters know the food is good
Go ahead and talk, if you are eating small bites, it's okay
You don't need a napkin to wipe the food off your face


I went with "Chew with your mouth closed" but dithered over the "Go ahead and talk, if you are eating small bites, it's okay" because it mentioned being with a girlfriend.  I wondered about the talking/not talking aspect of having a meal with a date.  Sometimes I overthink these things  :-\\

That's the same problem I had when I first started doing this quiz.  So eventually I got round to fitting a mouse to my laptop.  It makes the quizzes easier to complete faster.

Also, as you keep doing them, you will start to see the same questions coming up.

ACK!...My secret is out. That's probably because I seldom post in this thread so it is easy not to make the

I have never been quick.  My mind wanders as I'm reading the sentence.... and I have to reread it over again.  :-\\  Sometimes I can hear myself reading it out loud...but the words have no meaning until I reread it and really concentrate.  This is possibly why I had issues in high school during exams.

I have to really concentrate. The words sometimes ldon't form a meaning immediately.

That is a problem with most general knowledge quizzes though.  I knew the answer to both of those questions; I have read the book in the first question and the other is something that I have seen mentioned in books (mainly set in Ireland now I think about it)

I'm sure there are questions that you could ask about popular Dutch school age books or tv shows that we would have no clue about, but all your friends would think were easy/obvious.

8 ball I guess is just standard pool, one side gets solids the other stripes and the eight ball is the last ball sunk.

9 ball is the television standard here. The balls 1-9 are racked in a diamond formation with the 1 ball in front.
The balls must be pocketed in numerical order with the 9 ball last. You can win by sinking the 9: if the 9 ball
is made on the break without scratching or if you make a legal combination with a numerical ball and the 9.

7 ball is similar in rules to 9 ball except that the 7 balls are racked in a hexagonal formation. The 1 ball in front,
the 7 ball in the center and the other balls in numerical order going clockwise. After the break, the opposing
player chooses which 3 pockets on the long side he wants, the breaker gets the other three pockets. The balls
are pocketed in numerical order, as in 9 ball lowest first, until the 7 ball is left. To win the 7 ball must be pocketed
in one of the 3 pockets that are yours.

Oh, I see now.  Actually, what I call 'straight' pool is 8 ball.  I also used to play 'Kelly's' pool ... a novelty game ... where each player draws out a number and that is their ball number. Several can play the same game. Each player tries to knock out their opponents without giving away their ball number. You win if you pot your ball number. You knock out other players by potting their ball. You don't realise who you've knocked out until their ball goes down. Anyway, I think that's how it went. It was a good 40+ years ago since I played it at someone's party!

The only times I win are when everyone gets one (or more) wrong. Loki beat me a few days ago with less than my total. It takes me twice as long as crazydon to read the questions. I normally need to read the longer questions several times before the words start to form any meaning. It really chews up the time...  :-\\

15th January 2017:

1. What instrument measures the strength of an earthquake?

        Pedometer
        Parking meter
        Spiralgraph
    X  Seismograph   

This is given as the correct answer but it's not strictly accurate. The instrument that measures the strength of an earthquake is a seismometer; the output from the seismometer (usually on paper) is a seismograph. In some siesmometers, the measurement and output devices are combined so the terms have been conflated.

I got this question today.

Which modern marvel did Thomas Edison not invent?
Light bulb
Radio
Phonograph
Motion pictures

Radio.

Edison was a great inventor but he did not invent the radio. The radio was invented by Guglielmo Marconi of Italy in 1895.

This is one question that any answer is actually correct. Edison did not invent the light bulb, his labs invented a way
to make the light bulb burn longer and brighter. basically, just the filament. Marconi, though credited, did not invent the
radio and the phonograph and motion pictures were being developed well before Edison got his hands on them. It is a shame
that this incorrect history is still being taught and is still believed.

I vaguely remember The Partridge Family and Bewitched. Maybe I am slightly too young to remember the others being shown.

The UK also had Skippy the Bush Kangaroo and something called Tinga and Tucka (or featured those characters, as my older brother had glove puppets). Prisoner was called Prisoner Cell Block H because there had been a much-loved programme in the 60s just called Prisoner.

It wants the answer 2 which seems obvious, but then goes on to talk about people who've lost an arm.  So if you average out people with 0, 1 or 2 arms the answer is not actually going to be 2 is it?

For the first time in a little while, I took the quiz today had only one US television show question, the one about talk show host Rosie O'Donnell, which I got right. The only one I got wrong was a mis-click.


I misremembered the host of a quiz show and the other was about some surname of a character another character I’ve never heard of was dating.

I occasionally wish you could pause the clock on the quiz. My dad called when I was on about question 4. I don’t think I sounded too distracted as I finished the quiz off.

Before I used to pride myself with anagram, being fond of cryptic crosswords, especially The Guardian, which is still free online. Famous last words?

What was the anagram that stumped you?

I can’t remember exactly. It was something like ocolloro but not exactly.

There were four options of what it could be, but I can only remember was it an item of clothing, a school in New York or Greek food.

I don’t think I’ve ever had that many on one topic.

Most of the American sports ones are like that for me. Today’s was Who has the nickname ‘the Great One’, followed by a list of men I’ve never heard of. Then there are ones about which college did someone go to (presumably American Football player?)

The Great One is Wayne Gretzky, a Canadian that played in the NHL, mostly for the Edmonton Oilers. He played for the Kings and the Rangers as well.
I also dislike the college questions. Though I usually know the players I don't know where they went to school.

There used to be a syndicated game show on American TV a few years back called Celebrity Name Game hosted by Scottish/American comedian Craig Ferguson and a frequent celebrity guest he would have on the show was British presenter Cat Deeley, host of So You Think You Can Dance, an American show she has hosted for 15 seasons since 2006.  Lots of times, some of the celebrities she would have to describe were NFL, NHL and other American sports figures who may not be known outside of North America, and the blank look on her face like she wanted to say "Who the hell is that?" was hilarious.

What's more funny is that she appeared as an answer on the show once and no one knew who she was lol  Vivica A. Fox was like "Who the hell is he?"  ;D

My knowledge on the golf ball is that the ball is the same size through all formats of the game, and once read it is 365 dimples.

Google says:
"Most golf balls have between 300 and 500 dimples, which have an average depth of about 0.010 inch. The lift and drag forces on a golf ball are very sensitive to dimple depth: a depth change of 0.001 inch can produce a radical change to the ball's trajectory and the overall distance it can fly."

I had this question today.

Which famous warships from the Union and Confederate sides (respectively) were involved in a famous Civil War battle?

The Constitution and the Shenandoah
The Ironsides and the Merrimac
The Monitor and the Merrimac
The Monitor and the Vicksburg

Little known fact, the Monitor and the Merrimac never technically faced each other. The battle of Hampton Roads was fought between the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia.
The Merrimac was raised from the seabed, made into an iron clad and renamed the Virginia.

When I was a child, we lived at 1082 S. Merrimac Rd.. All the roads in our town were named after warships so you tend to learn the history of the road you lived on.
