General Knowledge for Experts Trivia Questions

1. Which three letter word was named, by the American Dialect Society, America's most useful word in 1996?

From Quiz
Ten Completely Random Questions About All Sorts

Answer: Dot

Determined by a vote of independent linguists, the choice of the word dot reflected the increasing popularity of the internet in the late 1990s and its use when verbalising URLs and email addresses.

2. What is the approximate age of our sun at the present time?

From Quiz World of Facts No. 1

Answer: 4.6 billion years old

Our sun is a middle-aged star, halfway through its expected lifespan of nine billion years. At the end of its life, its hydrogen supply will run out and it will collapse with no energy pushing out. It will then form a white dwarf, creating a nebula where future stars are made.

3. The Reina Sofia Museum of Modern Art is located in which Spanish city:

From Quiz How Updated Are You?

Answer: Madrid

The Reina Sofia is a must-see on the list of Museums in Spain. It was inaugurated in 1992 by King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia and houses works of art by Dali, Velazquez and Picasso.

4. In Nathaniel Hawthorne's book "The Scarlet Letter", which character is a symbol of the scarlet letter?

From Quiz Random Information

Answer: Pearl Prynne

Pearl was the daughter of Hester and Dimmesdale. Dimmesdale was the town's minister and he hid his connection to Pearl until the end of the novel. Chillingworth was Hester's former husband and tried to make Dimmesdale confess his adultery with Hester.

5. Which country won the Euro 2004 football competition, which was hosted in Portugal?

From Quiz Variety Bag

Answer: Greece

Both the first match and the last match of the tournament were between Portugal and Greece, and in both cases, Greece won. It was the first time Greece had ever won a major football tournament.

6. What is the capital of Switzerland?

From Quiz A Test of Knowledge!

Answer: Bern

Bonn is a city in Germany, Geneva is in Switzerland but not the capital. Geneva is also where Calvinism started. Vienna is the capital of Austria.

7. What sport is played on 'Billy William's Cabbage Patch'?

From Quiz This Could Be Quite Easy

Answer: rugby

The name is a nickname for Twickenham Rugby Ground. The site, which was a market garden, was bought by Billy Williams in 1907.

8. Which U.S. state was Tom Hanks born in?

From Quiz Useless Trivia Indeed 2

Answer: California

Tom Hanks was born in Concord, California on July 9, 1956.

9. Music: What is odd about the album "The Cow Goes Moog?"

From Quiz Useless Trivia in Ten Categories II

Answer: The title's play on words includes a mispronunciation.

The name 'Moog' is pronounced 'mo-gue'(rhymes with Vogue), not 'moooo-g.' The title assumes the pronunciation of 'moooo-g,' so it is incorrect.

10. What was the former name of the Republic of Benin?

From Quiz Compendium of Questions, Part 2

Answer: Dahomey

Benin was a former member of the French West Africa (collective name of former French colonies encompassing present-day Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal). When the country gained its independence in 1960, it retained "Dahomey" as its name. It wasn't until 1975 when the country adopted the name "Benin."

11. According to recent research and the book "Making Your Mark", which multiple choice answer is used most frequently in objective tests?

From Quiz Aivirt Pu Dexim

Answer: B

Originally I thought it was C but I learned from my Transitions class that it is B. B is used 40% of the time, C 30%, A 20% and D 10%.

12. On which television show was the first toilet ever seen?

From Quiz How Much Do You Know?

Answer: Leave it to Beaver

In 1957, 'Leave It To Beaver' was the first show that a toilet was ever seen on television. It spawned some very angry letters from mothers who thought that it was vulgar to show it on TV.

13. Who developed a theory of evolution by natural selection independently of Charles Darwin?

From Quiz Trivia Stew No. 3

Answer: Alfred Russel Wallace

In the same way that Darwin went to the Galapagos Islands to develop his theory, Wallace (1823-1913) travelled to the Malay Archipelago where, in 1858 he came to the realisation that some individuals from each species survive because they have adapted better to their environment. ("Survival of the fittest".) Darwin's theory had been written out in manuscript form in 1844, but never published. He was nervous about public reaction and originally intended to have his work published posthumously. Darwin then received something of a rude shock when he received from Wallace a paper entitled "On the Tendency of Varieties to Depart Indefinitely from the Original Type" which mirrored Darwin's earlier manuscript.

28. What is the 18th century Englishman John Harrison best known for?

From Quiz Generally Random 2

Answer: Solving the 'longitude problem'

In the 18th century, John Harrison solved a major problem of sea navigation by providing an accurate way of measuring longitude. A clock maker, Harrison's developed clocks that weren't disrupted by the motion of the ship in the ocean, and thus could be used at sea. One clock could be set to the time of day where the ship was and compared to a second clock that displayed the time in Greenwich England (location of the first meridian). Navigators were thereby able to calculate (with some tricky (for me anyway) mathematical formulas) their longitudinal position. Harrison's clocks can be viewed at the Greenwich Observatory, London. John Harrison's story can be read in an intriguing book called "Longitude" by Dava Sobel, 1996.
