In 1960 he was nominated for Best Producer for his movie "The Alamo", but lost out to Billy Wilder and his movie "The Apartment".
5. Known by the locals as Chhogori, by which of the alpha-numeric terms does most of the rest of the world know this very high mountain?

Answer: K2

K2 has many other names including Mount Godwin-Austen, Qogir, and Kechu. It is usually listed as the second highest mountain on our planet. If you want to visit this gift of nature you will have to travel to the border between Pakistan and China, in the Karakorum Mountains.

Answer: 867-5309/Jenny

Peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1982, "867-5309/Jenny" was the biggest hit by the rock group known as Tommy Tutone. The song's popularity led to fad in which people dialed this phone number and asked for "Jenny". Since its initial release, the song has been covered by the Foo Fighters, Everclear and the Goo Goo Dolls. None of the re-releases has caused the same uproar as the original.
7. How many herbs and spices did Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) claim to use in their chicken?

Answer: 11

For many years the recipe for Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) was kept secret. Which 11 herbs and spices were used a closely guarded trade secret. Many people have put forth guesses, but it is very possible that the exact combination will never be publicly known.
8. Why has Mrs. Feodor Vasilyev, a Russian peasant, been listed in almost every edition of the "Guinness Book of World Records"?

Answer: She gave birth to 69 children

Mrs. Feodor Vasilyev is reported to have given birth to a total of 69 children, of which 67 reached adulthood. Along with this mind-boggling thought, she is reported to have birthed four sets of quadruplets, seven sets of triplets, 16 pairs of twins. One theory is that her body produced multiple eggs every time she ovulated instead of the normal number of only one egg.
9. Which number, laid on its side, resembles the symbol for infinity?

Answer: Eight

The symbol for infinity is usually seen in the fields of physics, logic, computing and mathematics. The concept of infinity is a rather abstract one and the word is derived from the Latin word "infinitas" which basically means "that without boundaries".
10. Pure gold is 23 carat.

Answer: False

Pure gold is 24 carat, not 23. Gold is a beautiful transition metal that is too soft for jewelry making. It is usually mixed with other base metals, such as copper, to make it harder and less likely to bend. 24 carat gold is usually only found in coinage.
