Who's got another question for Geek?

Ok geek try this.
Who was the last person in France to have his head removed by a guillotine and what year did this happen?

Hamida Djandoubi, On the 10th of September, 1977

Ok, geek try this:

Evaluate the integral 78x^5 + 8x^4 + 3x^3 + 2x^2 + 45x + 7 with lower bound equal to 2 and upper bound equal to the fifth digit (after the decimal) of pi.

Yikes! I dunno, 9? Where the heck did you get this problem?!

It's calculus geek. Woohoo, I stumped you. So does that mean I go next?

tenor... you only get to go next if you provide us with the answer.

The answer is:

420569947/60 or approx 7009499.11667

Thanks Val.

Who wants to quiz me?

Tangles was geek right?, if geek got tangles question wrong then tangles gets in the hot seat, but otherwise the next question goes to you tenor.

Alright Tenor, what is the name of the oldest bridge still in use in the United States and where is it located?

[This message has been edited by Mr. IQ (edited 07-26-2000).]

So have I stumped you tenor?

Here goes....

Haverhill-Bath bridge in
Haverhill, New Hampshire

Nope sorry tenor, you have the U.S.'s oldest
COVERED bridge, which was built in 1827.

The oldest bridge still in use in the US is the 75 foot long Frankford Avenue Bridge in Philadelphia. It was built in 1697 and crosses Pennypack Creek.

So who thinks they can outsmart Mr.IQ?

No one has a question for me? So does that mean I win by forfit?

Way to go geek you answer was correct.

Here's one Mr.Iq
What are the two moons of Mars?

Ok..here's one..

One of the episodes of the BBC series "Ripping Yarns" starring Michael Palin, featured a yorkshire lad called "Eric Olthewaite". One of Eric's favourite pastimes was discussing the subject of shovels. Whose shovel was Eric most fond of talking about and what particular make of shovel was it?

The two moons of Mars are Deimos and Phobos, right?

Correct Mr.IQ WTG! Now answer karma's question.

I have no idea. So I guess karma's in the hot seat now!

Sorry Mr IQ...
The answer is he was constantly talking about "HOWARD MOLSON's" shovel which was a "SPEAR & JACKSON NO.5".

From Michael Palin's "Ripping Yarns", "The Testing of Eric Olthwaite", 1976.

Okay karma... welcome to the hot seat...

What building (or complex of buildings, more specifically) sits at 38° 11' N, 85° 44' W (longitude & latitude)?

In response to the question,

What building (or complex of buildings, more specifically) sits at 38° 11' N, 85° 44' W (longitude & latitude)?

I'll go for Fort Knox in Kentucky.

I'm sorry karma... you were in the right area of the US, not near enough to the city of Louisville. If I didn't fly every day and didn't know the answer by heart, I would've guessed the same thing.

The answer is the Louisville International Airport.
(of course, the only 'international' flights that originate or arrive there are UPS planes, as their central hub is there, but they still insist it be called Louisville International. That's us crazy Kentuckians for you. I wonder when they're gonna change it to Louisville Intergallactic Spaceport?)

Guess that puts me in the hot seat.... Fire away... I'm sure I'll get burned quickly.
