Thematic Adjectives Trivia Questions

31. Can you finish this definition? Molds are microscopic ___ that live on plant or animal matter.

From Quiz
Yours Truly, The Moldy Thing in the Fridge

Answer: fungi

The correct answer is fungi. It is estimated that there are between 100,000 and 300,000 different types of mold.

32. How big is the Solar System if we assume that it ends at the heliopause (where the solar wind meets the interstellar medium and slows down)? I'm looking for the radius expressed in astronomical units--the distance from the Sun to the Earth.

From Quiz How Big?

Answer: Around 200 au (or 0.0031 light years)

An "au" is an astronomical unit and is the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun over one orbit. It's about 150,000,000 kms or eight light minutes. This means that the Earth is only 1/200th of the distance out along the Solar System's radius. Big, innit?

33. How fast does the earth rotate at the equator in kilometres/hour (within 100km/hr)?

From Quiz How Fast?

Answer: 1674 km/hr

To calculate this, we need to know the circumference of the earth at the equator. This is 40,070 km. The earth makes a revolution once a day. A day is 24 hours (to be exact, 23 hours 56 minutes 04. 09053 seconds). Once we know the circumference and time required for one revolution, we can simply divide 40,070/24. This gives us 1674.66km/hr. So even when you're standing still you are breaking the sound barrier (but not relative to the earth which is your frame of reference). The next time you get asked "Did the Earth move for you?" you can truthfully answer, "As always".

34. "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" was the second musical collaboration between two titans of British theater. Who are they?

From Quiz Life in Technicolor

Answer: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice

Webber and Rice's first collaboration was called "The Likes of Us", but that wasn't performed until 2005 (at the Sydmonton Festival in Hampshire). "Joseph" was originally a 15-minute cantata in 1968, but over the years it's been expanded to almost two hours, produced several albums and in 1999 was filmed as a straight-to-video production starring Donny Osmond. "Any Dream Will Do" is its most famous number.

35. Finish the Billy Currington lyric: "God is great, _____ ___ good, and people are crazy."

From Quiz People are Crazy

Answer: beer is

Country singer Billy Currington made this song popular in 2008.

36. A tale of lost treasure and adventure, which book features Jim Hawkins, Blind Pugh and a black spot?

From Quiz Neither Here Nor There

Answer: Treasure Island

Written by Robert Louis Stevenson, this tale was first published in book form in 1883. It is a classic boys' adventure tale of pirates and buried treasure. It has been dramatised for both television and film, and has firmly lodged the stereotype of a one-legged pirate with a parrot on his shoulder in the public imagination, as well as treasure maps and X marks the spot.

37. Flanders and Swann advised us to take the "Slow Train" to where?

From Quiz The Slow Lane

Answer: Blandford Forum

Written in 1963 the song laments the closing of many railway stations after the cuts imposed in the Beeching era. It also mourns the passing of a particular, slower way of life with the coming of motorways. Blandford Forum itself is an old market town in North Dorset. It has good Georgian architecture and is close to the Iron Age hill fort of Badbury Rings.

38. Dave Baria is in the record books after achieving this 'longest' record for the programme "Ripley's: Believe It or Not." What 'longest' record did he set?

From Quiz The Long and the Short of It

Answer: The longest bungee jump

In June 2001, for the programme "Ripley's: Believe It or Not", a stunt man named Dave Baria went up to 10,000 feet in a helicopter and then threw himself out attached only to 1,800 feet of bungee cord. The stunt man, when the cord had reached its maximum stretching point, had fallen 6,000 feet setting the new record.

39. Union General John Sedgwick was killed by a sniper while insisting to his men that snipers couldn't hit them. What did he use as an example of something the snipers couldn't hit?

From Quiz Hit with an Irony Bar

Answer: An elephant

The story is that his last words were "They couldn't hit an elephant at this dis..." as he was rudely interrupted by a sniper's bullet. This is, as many things are, a good story that fudges the facts a little. (Catherine the Great wasn't killed trying to have intimate relations with a horse, either.) But, Sedgwick was killed mocking the chance of being shot, so it's plenty ironic even if the truth's not as funny.

40. A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet, with the possible exception of the "stinking rose". What is this odorous offering?

From Quiz Something Smells Around Here!

Answer: garlic

Garlic is, of course, the "stinking rose". Can't imagine cooking without it, but just make sure you feed your partner the same food, then neither of you should be offended by the odour. Stinkweed has a skunk-like smell, but not so much so that it's totally unbearable and besides, lately it's being touted as the "newest big thing" in biofuels. Onions and cauliflower contain moderate levels of sulphur and therefore can be smelly, but there's nothing quite like garlic for lasting pungency.

41. What did Australian John Landy become the second man to do, on June 21 1954?

From Quiz Nobody Remembers Who Came Second - Or Do They?

Answer: Run a mile in under four minutes

Just 56 days after Roger Bannister's historic run of 3 minutes 59.4 seconds, John Landy broke the record by over a second (Recorded as 3 minutes 57.9 seconds, later ratified as 3 minutes 58.0 seconds) in Turku, Finland.

42. What is the philosophy of beauty called?

From Quiz Beauty and Ugliness

Answer: Aesthetics

Aesthetics is the branch of philosophy which studies the nature and the perception of beauty, especially in the fine arts. The most significant thinkers have explored the theme of beauty, and analysed the focal question of aesthetics: what qualities make something or someone "beautiful"? Their approaches are basically founded on two categories: the objective and the subjective. In the former, beauty is inherent to the "object" and has universal validity; in the latter, beauty is "in the eyes of the beholder", i.e. it is a purely personal experience. Aristotle and Plato saw beauty as an objective expression of symmetry and order, whereas 18th century philosophers, such as Immanuel Kant and David Hume, proposed new aesthetic theories, introducing the elements of subjectivity, pleasure and taste. If in the distant past aesthetics was mostly a philosophical subject, the last two centuries have also seen many artists and critics contribute their views on the topic.

43. Bad is also a Dutch word. It means something completely different. As a verb, it is the past tense of 'bidden' which means 'to pray'. What is the English translation of the Dutch noun 'bad'?

From Quiz Bad Things

Answer: Bath (like the tub)

The story that the bathtub was only introduced in the USA in 1842 is actually a hoax. American journalist H.L. Mencken made up this fake history of the bathtub to prove that Americans will believe anything published in the newspaper.

44. Mathematics: A farmer has 17 sheep. All but nine die. How many are left?

From Quiz For The Gullible

Answer: 9

17-9 = 8. Oh wait. All BUT nine die! That means nine are still alive, right? If you guessed eight-- arithmetic isn't always the way to get the right answer!

45. What is known under the name 'Good Charlotte'?

From Quiz Good Things

Answer: A punk rock band

They took the name 'Good Charlotte' from a children's book: 'Good Charlotte: The Girls of Good Day Orphanage' by Carol Beach York. The band has a cameo in Not Another Teen Movie playing at the school prom. Their music however belongs in an other quiz of mine: 'Ugly Things'. Personal opinion of course!

46. Since I am a cultural devotee, I find the "Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue?" painting series quite ugly. You might disagree, but who is the artist?

From Quiz Ugly Things

Answer: Newman

Barnett Newman (1905 - 1970) is one of the better known color field painters. Piet Mondriaan is also an abstract expressionist famous for his "Victory Boogie-Woogie". I find a mud fence more attractive, but if you can make millions with a paint roller, you are a great artist! Rietveld is a Dutch designer mostly famous for his furniture, which sometimes has the same colored fields.

47. I'll start at the highest level before sinking towards the murky depths. Which British monarch is popularly believed to have boasted "I have a bath twice a year whether I need one or not"?

From Quiz Good Clean Fun

Answer: Elizabeth I

In buttermilk apparently. This seems rather self-defeating, as after a couple of days I suspect that the smell of rancid milk would be worse than odours created by just not washing. I have been utterly devastated to learn during my research, that she may never have said this at all, and it is probably just a joke. History can be terribly disappointing sometimes. It always lets facts get in the way of a good story. She wasn't even bald.

48. Who suffered a "wardrobe malfunction" during the 2004 Superbowl halftime extravaganza?

From Quiz Clothing Optional

Answer: Janet Jackson

This was one of the biggest non-events in Superbowl history - and there have been many. As part of a dance number, Justin Timberlake was supposed to rip off part of Janet's costume but instead of one layer of clothing tearing away, both layers did, revealing Janet's right asset on national TV. Children were horrified and still suffer nightmares from the trauma. Yawwnnn.

49. "Naked as a Jay-bird" "Don't look, Ethel!" In which song do these memorable lines occur?

From Quiz Naked, Nude, Bare, Starkers...

Answer: The Streak

"The Streak" was a funny song by Ray Stevens. Born Harold Ray Ragsdale, in Georgia in 1939, Stevens has had a long career. He released a new CD in 2003. Other hits included "Along Came Jones" and "Ahab the Arab". He also wrote and performed the melodic "Everything is Beautiful". The "Alvin Purple" song did celebrate a nude hero, but the lines mentioned were not part of it. "Let's Get Physical", an Olivia Newton-John hit, didn't use them either, and I made up "The Nudie Tune".

50. Which nursery rhyme character met a pieman?

From Quiz The Simple Quiz

Answer: Simple Simon

Simple Simon met a Pieman, and asked to taste his wares. This nursery rhyme is from "Mother Goose".

51. This quiz is designed to be a snap, but you still might want to avoid making snap judgments. What sort of action describes a snap decision?

From Quiz This Quiz Is a Snap

Answer: Impulsive

"Snap" is thought to have come from the Middle English "snappe" meaning "a quick bite". It is sometimes used in the sense of too quick or lightly considered.

52. This mammal, which has become the personification of laziness, comes in two varities: Bradypus and Choloepus.

From Quiz One For Lazy People

Answer: sloth & sloths

The furry arboreal mammal called the sloth is the epitome of laziness. There are five living species of this lazy critter, all of which live in South or Central America. The three-toed sloth, bradypus, is about the size of a house cat, while the larger two-toed variety, choloepus, is a little larger. Sloths sleep anywhere from 15 to 18 hours per day, hanging upside-down. By the way, the prefix "bradys" is Greek for "slow".

53. Edmund Hillary was first. Who was second?

From Quiz Who Came Second?

Answer: Tenzing Norgay

Hillary was the first man to reach the summit of Everest. He was apparently just a step or two ahead of Tenzing. However, there has been some debate about this and some people believe that Tenzing may have reached the summit first. Jurg Marmet was the third man to reach the summit.

54. This "super" lake is the biggest of the North American Great Lakes.

From Quiz SuperQuiz!

Answer: Superior & Lake Superior

The five Great Lakes are, in order of size: Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, and Lake Erie. Lake Superior is not only the largest of the Great Lakes, but the largest freshwater lake in the world, surface wise. The coldest and deepest of the Great Lakes, its drainage basin totals 49,300 square miles.

55. What marine Big Thing is on display near a butterfly farm in a far north Queensland town?

From Quiz The Bigger the Better Down Under!

Answer: Barramundi

The Big Barramundi is a fibreglass replica of a giant fish on the roof of the general store in the town of Daintree. The Barramundi is an Australian freshwater 'fighting' fish which tastes pretty damn good!

56. The Arctic Tern nests around the Arctic Circle in summer. When autumn comes, they head off for a very long flight in which direction?

From Quiz Directional Junk

Answer: South

The Arctic Tern flies all the way to Antarctica for the autumn then returns again in the spring. A short round trip of over 22,000 miles!

57. What stand-up comic created the character Fat Albert?

From Quiz My Big Fat Quiz

Answer: Bill Cosby

Cosby based his characters on his childhood friends.

58. Crime writer Agatha Christie wrote romantic novels under which pseudonym?

From Quiz Mixed Trivia with a Directional Theme

Answer: Mary Westmacott

Her first marriage to Archibald Christie produced a daughter Rosalind, but she later married Max Mallowan, an archaeologist, whose work inspired such novels as 'Murder in Mesopotamia'.

59. What was the nickname of hockey star Wayne Gretzky?

From Quiz One Great Quiz

Answer: The Great One

Canadian Wayne Gretzky is arguably the greatest hockey player of all time. Born in Brantford, Ontario, in 1961, he started playing hockey at age six. After winning four Stanley Cups, he retired in 1999, and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame that same year.

60. Three cartoon mascots were created and adopted by Kellogg's in the 1930s to advertise their product Rice Krispies. What is the name of the elf-like figure in the middle?

From Quiz Things That Are In the Middle

Answer: Crackle!

The first character, Snap!, was created by artist Vernon Grant in 1933. The other two characters -- Crackle! and Pop! -- were added in 1939. They appeared on the cereal box, in print advertising, in comics and eventually on television. Their names were chosen because they are onomatopoetic to the sounds made by Rice Krispies when milk is poured into the bowl. The word "crackle" derives from the Middle English verb "crackelen" which derived from the Old English "cracian" meaning to make a crackling noise. Compare the Proto-Germanic "krakojan."
