From Quiz Ten Trite Trivial Tidbits

Answer: Rommedou

Rommedou is cheese produced in the Dutch province of Limburg as well as the Belgian provinces of Liège and Limbourg. The cheese is delicious to have with beer and pickles and should be served when runny; it's worth a trip to the town of Maastricht where it is served in the local cafes.

4. On a Dell Computer, which letter in the logo is displayed at a 45 degree angle?

From Quiz Why Do I Remember This Stuff?

Answer: E

Answer: 3,500 calories

Losing weight works the same as gaining it. Your net calorie intake needs to decrease by 3,500 to drop one pound of body mass. This can be achieved by eating 1,500 fewer calories and burning 2,000 more calories than normal. Gaining or dropping a pound per week is approximately the quickest weight change you should ever experience. Any faster can be dangerous.

9. What is the maximum number of Friday the 13ths possible in one calendar year, including leap years?

From Quiz Truly Trivial Trivia

Answer: 3

A regular year can start on any of the 7 days of the week, beginning with January 1st. This includes leap years. This leaves 14 possible "patterns" for the 13th of each month. If you work this out on paper, you'll see that the 13th of each consecutive month is delayed the next month by the number of days above 28 (e.g. 3 for Jan 31 etc.) No matter how you work the pattern, the maximum number of times ANY day of the week appears on a specific DATE of the month is 3.

10. In which year did the era of couch potatoes begin, with the first wireless remote control device for televisions?

From Quiz Are You Stuffed?

Answer: 1955

The first remote control devices created were for the military during World War I. In the 1940s, wired remote controls were developed to open garage doors. In 1950, the 'Lazy Bone' was invented to control a television signal, but had a bulky cable attached to it. The Flash-matic, invented in 1955 was the first wireless remote created by Zenith Corporation, but on bright sun-filled days, the television would do things on its own. The following year, Zenith introduced the "Space Command" wireless remote control, which would use ultrasonic waves to control televisions throughout the rest of the century.
