Living in different parts of Africa and Asia, the five species of rhinoceros are the White, Black, Indian, Javan and Sumatran kinds. Both the White and the Black rhinoceros live in Africa and are actually greyish in colour.

From Quiz Look! An Easy Quiz With "Obscure" in the Title!

Answer: Leif Ericson

No, not Christopher Columbus -- he didn't even reach the main continent! Leif Ericson is generally credited with being the first European to "discover" America, doing so in approximately 1000 CE, nearly 500 years before Columbus. Leif's father, Eric the Red, founded a settlement in Greenland, which Leif used as a base to reach North America. Two Icelandic sagas describing Leif's explorations and achievements were passed down through oral history for hundreds of years before being written down, but it was unclear how reliable they were. However, in the 1960s, archaeologists discovered ruins of a Norse settlement from that time in Newfoundland, Canada, conclusively proving that the stories were not just an old wives' tale. Columbus was far more influential than Ericson -- after Columbus, many other explorers such as Cabot and Vespucci followed. But he was not the first.

From Quiz A Miscellaneous Compilation

Answer: White spots appearing on the surface of chocolate

There are two kinds of chocolate bloom: fat bloom and sugar bloom. Fat bloom occurs when chocolate is not properly tempered, causing cocoa butter crystals of uneven size to form. Crystals of different sizes undergo different rates of transformation, giving rise to fat blooms over time. Sugar blooms occur when chocolate absorbs too much moisture from the surroundings and dissolves some of its sugar content. As the chocolate dries, some sugar crystallises on the surface, resulting in sugar blooms. Although chocolate blooms are unsightly, as a general rule they are safe for consumption.

From Quiz Sorry, Wrong Answer (Part Four)

Answer: Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Misquotes are often the product of the person who first utilized the quote. "Casablanca" is one of the most-quoted films. One of the lines most closely associated with the film - "Play it again, Sam" - is a misquotation. When Ilsa first enters the Café Americain, she spots Sam and asks him to "Play it once, Sam, for old times' sake". Later, Rick says, "You played it for her, you can play it for me". "Here's looking at you, kid" was not in the script. It was an ad-lib by Bogart. Other memorable lines are "Round up the usual suspects", "we'll always have Paris", and "of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine".

From Quiz A Little About a Lot

Answer: 30

The fuses are colored differently, depicting the amp range of the fuse. For example, a five amp fuse would be colored amber, while a red fuse would reflect a 7.5 rating, green identifies 30 amps, etc. A five amp fuse would protect small drawing electrical systems such as a license plate light and instrument panel lighting, while a 30 amp fuse would protect a heavy-use circuit such as an air conditioning system. Checking a fuse is an easy step for a car owner in troubleshooting an electrical problem with a vehicle. In most cases, vehicle owners who do not know this, costs the owner a troubleshooting fee for a mechanic to change it, and could cost in excess of a day's pay. Located in the vehicle fuse box, there is a little visible metal strip inside a fuse, that when melted due to overload, will cause the circuit to stop working. It is a very easy owner-fix if they know this. One should also never replace a fuse with a different (or colored) amp rated fuse.

From Quiz Trivia Gamut

Answer: Aluminum oxide

When an element, such as aluminum, has extra electrons, they will give them up. This will give them a positive charge. Elements like oxygen need electrons and will acquire electrons. This gives them a negative charge. When one element that needs them, takes electrons from an element with extra electrons, an ionic bond forms. Ionically bonded compounds are named by stating the positively charged part (aluminum) and then the negative with an -ide ending (oxide). Thus AlO3 would be aluminum oxide.
