Take a 50-50 Chance: Photo Version Quiz

Answer: Hear, hear

While some references will tell you it's "here, here", the majority of sources agree that the origins of this phrase are from "hear ye" (the old town crier's call) or "hear him". Having said that, "here, here" has become much more common in usage over time, and could eventually supersede the original version.

Answer: Yes

The debate between the meaning of these two words has raged for a surprisingly long time. The first Merriam-Webster edition of "An American Dictionary of the English Language", published in 1847, claimed that preventative was a 'gross blunder' and that preventive was the correct usage of the word meaning simply 'that which prevents'.

As is often the case with an evolving language, English has come to accept both words as having the same meaning. Some grammarians claim that 'preventive' is an adjective while 'preventative' is a noun; however most agree that they are both able to be used as either.

Answer: Torah

The word 'Torah' can be used more generally to describe Jewish laws and teachings (Torah literally means 'instruction' in Hebrew). The Talmud is a Hebrew text (or more accurately, two separate volumes) containing over 6,000 pages of teachings and opinions drawn from a diverse range of Rabbis.

Answer: south

South Dakota is possibly most famous for being the state where Mount Rushmore was carved. It is the larger of the 'Dakotas' at just over 75,000 square miles (compared to 69,000 in North Dakota). South Dakota has a number of nicknames (apart from "Mount Rushmore State"), including "Coyote State", "Bizzard State", and even "Sunshine State". North Dakota has been labelled the "Flickertail State", "Peace Garden State" and "Sioux State" (the latter acknowledging the Sioux Indian population, whose language is the origin of 'dakota', meaning 'friend').

Answer: Leah

Jacob fell head over heels in love with Rachel. But the girl's father, Laban, made him work for seven years to earn the right to marry her, following which he actually tricked him into marrying her older sister, Leah! So he was made to work another seven years to earn Rachel's hand in marriage.

Both pixies and fairies are said to steal different things: pixies steal ponies and horses, while fairies steal household items. Interestingly, both creatures are said to be allergic to silver.
