New Q.....#71

Q71. Which city hosted the first Olympic winter events?

Answer- Chamonix, France.

answer: 151 events in 17 sports

I lacked carpets, a glove box, or even a fuel gauge. The rear windows were glued shut. The sole passenger comfort was a primitive heater, in which a fan simply blew hot engine air into the interior. Standard features included: an engine immobiliser, electronic ignition, and a reserve fuel tank. I did not have a petrol pump: the petrol tank's situated above the engine, thus eliminating the need for anything other than gravity to supply the engine with petrol. It is said that the desire of my designers was to produce a vehicle of simplicity and economy, nothing more and nothing less, and that they succeeded with vengeance.

Like a motorcycle, my engine was lubricated by mixing oil with gasoline. My noisy 26hp engine produced as much pollution as thirty large Mercedes-Benzes. My engine was 600 c.c. air-cooled. Valve adjustment was never required as my engine had no valves. This power plant could wheeze from zero to sixty mph in a tad over sixty seconds, with an eventual top speed of around 66 mph. I stopped as leisurely as I accelerated. In a road test in 1990 by Car and Driver they reported: "The engine provides no braking effect at all. Nor do the brakes." What's my name?

New Q...#75..

Q75. The race to hold the Summer Olmypic Games has become a much more prestigious event then any that involve sport. Collectively, the resources required to even be considered as a host are enormous and beyond the means of most Cities worldwide. Not all the Cities that have been chosen as Olympic Games hosts have been required to bid for that honour, however in recent times a complex and thorough tendering process has been required to sift through the Olympic hopefuls. Up to the start of the Sydney Olympics, exactly how many different cities had made or been involved in a bid directly or jointly to hold a Summer Olympics, either past present or future (note well if a bidding process was not undertaken then the city chosen as host does not count as a bidding city for this count)?

To help those under 50 points of second place leader, these people will score double for these and it won't count against their daily limit. Although it won't count as your daily, you can answer only one of these bonus questions per day. This offer is good until they get within range or The Blowout / Catch-up Round (last 5 week days of the month/game).

All others may answer, but for 20 points and it will count as your daily.

Ann Charters'introduction to "The Portable Beat Reader,"(ed. Ann Charters, Viking Penguin, 1992.) explains quite well the origin and original meaning of the term.

"In 1944 the word 'beat' as used by a Times Square hustler named Herbert Huncke came to the attention of William Burroughs, a Harvard graduate living in New York whom Huncke had introduced to heroin. Through Burroughs, the word was passed on to a young Columbia College freshman named Allen Ginsberg and a friend who shared his interest in writing named Jack Kerouac, a Columbia dropout serving during the war as a merchant marine seaman based in New York. As Ginsberg remembered first hearing the word 'beat,' the 'original street usage' in Huncke's speech meant 'exhausted, at the bottom of the world, looking up or out, sleepless, wide- eyed, perceptive, rejected by society, on your own, streetwise.'

the first winter Olympic event was figure skating at the 1908 Olympic Games in London and when Antwerp, Belgium, hosted the 1920 Olympics after WW1, there was competition in both ice hockey and figure skating, as these sports could be conducted in rinks during the summer games

Q72. Who won the water polo competition at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics?
chessart - 09-18-2000 09:55 AM

Answer: *Hungary won the Gold Medal in a bloody affair against the invasionary tactics of the Russians, The score I think was 4-0 and it will be long remembered as one of the most violent Olympic events. In fact at one stage when the Hungarian Captain had to be replaced with blood streaming from a deep gash on his face, the crowd got so incensed and boysterious that the Victorian Police were called to restore order....the crowd were eventually calmed and the Gold awarded to the Hungarians ..........oh how times change..a mere 11 Olympiads later and the Victorian Police are again called to restore calm, this time outside a certain Economic Forum that was being held fittingly enough, at the Crown Casino. Like in '56 the "game" did continue, but I'm not sure if calm was restored...I am sure that they left their mark..just above the cheek...

New Q...#79

Q79. It seems some cities are lucky and others not when it comes to hosting the Summer Olympics. Sydney or "Sidaneee" as it became known Olympically, were granted the Games on only their second attempt. This cannot be said for most of the Cities that have entered this bidding process. Up to the start of the Games of the XXVIIth Olympiad, what city has the unwanted record of being involved in the most bids for the Olympics without holding them or being selected to hold them, and how many times have they returned home without the games? For additional points, what other Olympic related first does this City have a claim to?
