From Quiz Impossible General Knowledge - The Sequel

Answer: 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds

Unlike in the first quiz where there were different levels of precision in the answers, this time the precision level is the same and the list is logically progressive. Measuring the length of a day has always been a problem because the earth revolves around the sun at the same time it revolves on its axis. This means that the point at which the sun is overhead on two successive days takes slightly longer than if you were measuring against a star which has (for all practical purposes) no apparent motion relevant to the earth within the space of one day. For these reasons we have both the sidereal day and the solar day.

From Quiz The Joy of Knowledge 2

Answer: Sir Roger Bannister

Sir Roger Gilbert Bannister was born on 23 March 1929 in Harrow, Northwest Greater London, England. He had been a finalist at the 1952 Olympic Games, held in Helsinki, where he finished a disappointing fourth in the 1,500 metre final. On 6 May 1954, as a medical student, he attended an athletics meeting at Iffley Road Track in Oxford, on a cold, windy day, where he became the first to run a sub-four-minute mile in a time of 3 minutes 59.4 seconds with the help of pacemakers. He studied at Oxford but completed his medical training at St Mary's Hospital Medical School in 1954 where he received his medical degree. He was knighted in 1975 and his autobiography 'The First Four Minutes', published in 1955, has now been republished as 'Four Minute Mile'. He retired in 1954 from athletics to persue a career as a distinguished neurologist.

From Quiz Questions Inspired By My Bedroom

Answer: Patrick O'Brian

In Patrick O'Brian's books, the British Navy are the heroes, and the main enemy is the Americans in the War of 1812. However, the Hollywood production changed the enemy to the French in the Napoleanic Wars, since obviously no American movie could feature the US as a possible bad guy.

From Quiz Super Mixed Trivia V

Answer: Adultery

Under the Sharia, strict Muslim laws used in many of the northern states of Nigeria, a man or woman can be sentenced to death by stoning if convicted of adultery. In the case of Lawal, she admitted to having a child with a man several months after divorcing her second husband. The man, who originally pledged to help Lawal with her baby, later denied the baby was his, after his family pressured him. Lawal's case drew attention from Amnesty International and Oprah Winfrey, and ultimately she was set free during appeals in September 2003, because her pregnancy occurred before Sharia law was enacted in her home province.

From Quiz Mish-Mash II: The Trivia Strikes Back

Answer: Australian Second Fleet

The Second Fleet comprised six ships - two storeships (the Guardian and the Justinian), and four convict ships (Lady Juliana, Neptune, Scarborough and Surprize). Unlike the First Fleet, the Second Fleet was privately funded, but it was disastrous. After leaving England in 1789, mishap began when the Guardian struck ice early on, and was unable to complete the journey. By the time the fleet arrived in Australia in 1790, 278 people had died, and nearly 500 of the remaining convicts landed suffering from scurvy, dysentery and fever - many couldn't even walk on their own. The Lady Juliana was carrying female convicts, and several of them gave birth en route, apparently from the crews of the African slave ships which the Second Fleet met at Santa Cruz. The death rate on the Second Fleet was the worst in the history of transportation.
