Thematic Places Trivia Questions

61. The highest mountain in Australia is completely not what you would expect it to be called. From which language does the name of the Australian peak, Mount Kosciuszko, come?

From Quiz
Mountains and Molehills

Answer: Polish

In fact it was given the name by the Polish explorer and geologist, Count Paul Strzelecki. The name was given in memory of the 18th and 19th century nationalist general, Tadeusz Kooeciuszko, who led an uprising against the expansionist Russian empire in 1794.

62. What's the major difference between a maze and a labyrinth?

From Quiz Labyrinths

Answer: a labyrinth only has one path that winds around

Labyrinths are thousands of years older than mazes and although historians and anthropologists debate their original purpose, most cultures share the same basic design and layout for labyrinths. The first recognizable labyrinths date to 2500 BC, though some historians say that cave drawings in Australia and Greece, of spirals and labyrinthine structures, predate that time by 1000 years or so.

63. Dr. Bombay is a fictional warlock played by Bernard Fox. Which television series was he a part of?

From Quiz Is That Called Bombay Too?

From Quiz Lakes, Ponds and Streams

The lake contains 20% of the world's fresh water and is classified as a continental rift lake. It was formed between 30 and 25 million years ago, which makes it one of the most ancient lakes in geological history. Lake Baikal derives its name from the Tatars who called it Bai Kul (Rich Lake). In the Buryat and Mongol languages it is called Dalai-Nor (Sacred Sea). It is also called the Blue Eye of Siberia, which is where you'll have to travel if you want to visit Lake Baikal.

From Quiz Trivia Towers

Answer: Confusion of languages

This story appears in the book of Genesis. The phrase "tower of Babel" never actually appears. Babel was the name of the city in which the tower was built. These were people descended from Noah who had been told to spread out and populate the earth. They decided instead to congregate in one place and to build a tower to the Heavens that would make them famous and keep them safe from another flood. By their actions they showed their disobedience to God's commands by furthering their own ambitions instead and therefore proved their lack of humility and refusal to submit to God's will. God decided to confuse their languages so they could no longer communicate with each other and thus, could not continue building the tower. They scattered around the world in these groups as God had originally intended.

70. In what video game world would you be able to visit Kokiri Forest and Kakariko Village?

The peak lies on the French/Italian border, an intermittent source of friction between the two countries. Shelley published "Mont Blanc: Lines Written in the Vale of Chamouni" a year after his tour. "...Far, far above, piercing the infinite sky, Mont Blanc appears-still, snowy, and serene; Its subject mountains their unearthly forms Pile around it, ice and rock; broad vales between Of frozen floods, unfathomable deeps..."

88. In 1954, an Ancient Egyptian wooden boat was excavated at the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza. What else was found nearby?

From Quiz Armchair Traveller 5

Answer: Hieroglyphic instructions to reassemble the boat

Pharaohs in Ancient Egypt built vessels to travel along the Nile. Some of them were prized possessions that were buried with them when they died. The Khufu Ship was dismantled before being placed in a pit. The Ancient Egyptians believed that the dead needed to take objects with them into the afterlife. As a result, a set of hieroglyphic instructions were left with the boat so that the pharaoh could reassemble it after death. Llamas are of South American origin and probably didn't exist in Egypt thousands of years ago. Shakespeare's play, 'Romeo and Juliet', was written in the 16th century, thousands of years after the Ancient Egyptians existed. The Terracotta Army was buried for use in the afterlife, but not by the Egyptians. The Army was buried with the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang.

From Quiz Schools That Never Really Were, District 4

Most of his adventures centred on the school e.g. with Schultz (a German immigrant played by Hans Conried) and Miss Spaulding (the teacher played by Mary Shipp). Each radio episode was framed by a letter which Luigi was writing to his mother back in Italy about what had happened to him that week. The series ran on CBS Radio from 1948 to 1953 and briefly on television in 1952. The TV version was cancelled because of complaints from Italian-Americans.

The motion picture was shot, in part, at St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Delaware.
