Though only "traditional" in countries that were British > territory during the so-called Glorious Revolution, I think. Yeah, that makes sense. I started to think Martin Luther and tried to connect him to a colour. Or for that matter myself, being born into a Protestant church. The orange in question is not related to the religion, but comes from the royal house of Orange-Nassau who promoted Protestantism during religious feuds on the British islands. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |

| tool@panix.com (Dan Blum): Mar 02 04:15AM This is Rotating Quiz #247. Entries must be posted by Wednesday, March 8th, 2017 at 11 PM (Eastern Standard Time). Usual rules: no looking anything up, no discussion, etc. The winner gets to create the next RQ. Please post your answers to all questions in a single followup in the newsgroup, quoting the questions and placing your answer below each one. Only one answer is allowed per question. Since I had no particular ideas of my own this uses the same gimmick as Mark's RQ #246 - there is an 11th answer given by the first letters, last letters, or letters read diagonally through the answers. (There is one difference here which will probably be clear once you start answering.) The answer to each question is a single word; answers #1-10 are worth 2 points each and answer #11 is worth 4 points. A misspelled answer is worth 1 point if I judge it is close enough. In case of a tie, the first tiebreaker will be whoever scored the most points on the hardest questions (defined post-facto as the ones which the fewest people got any points on). Second tiebreaker will be posting order. 1. This is the name of a language related to Egyptian and which was commonly spoken in Egypt until it was replaced by Egyptian Arabic a few centuries ago. It is still used as the liturgical language of the <answer 1> Orthodox Church, part of the Oriental Orthodox communion and the largest Christian church in northern Africa. (There is also a <answer 1> Catholic Church, but it is much smaller.) 2. This flower is named for a Greek mythological figure who was a lover of Apollo. He tried to catch a discus thrown by Apollo and died. Rather than let him be claimed by Hades, Apollo turned his blood into the flower, although the flower of the legend may not be the modern flower of the same name (certainly none of the common colors look like blood to me). 3. This name was originally applied to a society founded by Adam Weishaupt, a professor at the University of Ingolstadt, but today is used much more generally. 4. This German city has a long history of innovation. The predecessor to the bicycle was invented there and Karl Benz built the first automobile there. In the late 18th century there was also a <answer 4> school of composers who introduced new musical features such as the <answer 4> Rocket and the <answer 4> Roller. 5. This is a root vegetable related to carrots and parsley. While not necessarily thought of as sweet these days, it is sweeter than either of those and was used as a sweetener in parts of Europe before sugar became widely available. While the root is safe to eat even when raw, the above-ground parts of the plant contain a toxic sap which makes the skin extremely sensitive to ultraviolet light, potentially causing serious burns. 6. This is the name of species of trees which have bark which is used in some varieties of bitters, but somewhat confusingly not in <answer 6> bitters, which contain gentian (among other ingredients). These bitters are named after the town in Venezuela where they were originally produced, although the company that makes them is now located in Trinidad and Tobago. They can be used in a number of popular cocktails such as the Manhattan or the Old Fashioned. 7. Although a popular song from some decades ago would have you believe that this was some kind of coin-operated machine, in fact the word originally referred to inexpensive theaters where patrons viewed continuous series of short films. They made movies very popular in the US but died out when longer movies (and the desire for greater comfort while viewing them) became prevalent. In current usage <answer 7> is a proper noun in a different but related context. 8. This was a name used in Roman-era Israel for various small silver coins and also for coins struck during the Bar Kochba revolt. Some people think that the name refers to the entity commonly found on drachmas of the period; drachmas were one of the coins referred to as <answer 8> and the Bar Kochba coins were overstrikes of drachmas and Roman coins. Others say it is from an Akkadian word meaning something like "half," and the former theory is just folk etymology based on the similar-sounding names. If you had two of them you could buy a young goat. 9. This great-nephew of Cardinal Mazarin grew up in the court of Louis XIV, but Louis would not let him serve in the army due to his mother's disgrace in the Poison Affair, so he moved to the Holy Roman Empire. There he became one of the greatest generals of the period, winning battles in various wars at Zenta, Turin, and Belgrade, and others such as Blenheim and Malplaquet together with the Duke of Marlborough. The answer is his given name, without his (Italian) title. 10. Some members of the weasel family have winter coats which are very different in appearance from their summer coats - so much so that one, the stoat, has often been known by a different name in that coat. What is it? 11. Acrostic? -- _______________________________________________________________________ Dan Blum tool@panix.com "I wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't just made it up." |
