- Erland's Occasional Quiz: 12 questions - 4 Updates
- RQFTCIWSSSG12 Game 9, Rounds 4,6: TO schools and Blue Jays - 1 Update
| Erland Sommarskog <esquel@sommarskog.se>: Aug 05 08:34PM +0200 Not only are these quizzes very occasional. They are also highly irregular, so how you get a second one in a short time. This time is just twelve unassorted questions. There is a distinct element of current events, but as you will find, not all questions fit into that mould. As always, post your answers to the newsgroup and use only your knowledge. I plan to score the quiz and post answers on Wednesday 10th. Answers are accepted until I post the results. HAVE FUN! 1. Armando Duplantis recently became World Champion in pole vault, and also set a new world record. Despite having grown up in Lafayette, USA, he competes for Sweden, thanks to his mother being Swedish. His elder brother Antoine recently is active in a different sport and recently agreed to play for the Swedish national team in. Which sport is it? 2. Which artist wrote and recorded the a cappella song "Mercedes Benz"? 3. Himars has been in the news recently. What is it? 4. Neom is one of these gargantuan projects that just makes you breathless. This planned city is intended to cover an area of 26 500 m². One of the features is "The Line" planned to be 500 m high, 200 m wide and 170 km long. In which country is this madness taking place? 5. At what sort of facility are you at, if you find yourself in a vehicle from Cobus Industries? 6. While certainly disputable, "The Tale of Genji" by Murasaki Shikibu is often considered to be the world's first what? 7. Which European country dates its inception to 895 A.D.? 8. The world of golf has experienced an upheaval lately due to the appearance of the money-rich LIV tour, competing with the traditional PGA tour. What does LIV stand for? 9. Tang ping was a fad(?) that arose in 2021. Explain it or just tell what "tang ping" means. 10. In which country did I buy this T-shirt? https://www.sommarskog.se/temp/tshirt.jpg 11. Explain why C# is a Db language! 12. A recently published research study suggests that if you are not able to stand one leg for 10 seconds you run a 84 % higher risk to do what? Be reasonably specific. |

I couldn't do it on carpetted floor, but could on a harder surface. Probably would do better with regular shoes, rather than sandals. Strangely, I was better at it with my left foot even though I'm right footed.) -- Dan Tilque |
