From Quiz Elementary Cities of the World

Answer: Moscow

Molybdenum: Mo + Scandium: Sc + Oxygen: O + Tungsten: W = Moscow. Moscow originally became capital of Russia when Ivan the Terrible proclaimed himself the first Tsar in the 16th century. Then in 1712 Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg, where it remained until after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, when Moscow was made the capital of the new Soviet Union. In 1991 Moscow became the capital of the Russian Federation. Notable people born in Moscow include the novelist and poet Alexander Pushkin in 1799, and more recently the tennis professional Anna Kournikova in 1981.

Answer: Atlanta

Atlanta, Georgia, was founded in 1836, when the state decided to build the Western and Atlantic Railroad to link the city of Savannah with the interior of the country. First known as "Terminus" and then "Thrasherville", the city was renamed "Marthasville" in 1842. The name "Atlantica-Pacifica" was then an option, which was shortened to "Atlanta" when the city was incorporated in 1847. Since 1998, the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has been one of the world's busiest airport by several different metrics, including number of passengers and number of flights.

From Quiz Learning the ABCs

Answer: B3

Vitamin B3 is the generic name for Niacin or Nicotinic Acid and Nicotinamide or the coenzyme forms of this vitamin. B3 vitamin is water soluble and thus not stored in the human body. It is found in many foods like yeast, meat (beef, chicken), liver, heart, kidney, fish, milk, eggs, peanuts and nuts, green vegetables, beans and cereals. It is also synthesized from tryptophan, an essential amino acid found in most forms of proteins. Niacin is important in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. B complex vitamins are needed for healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver and proper nervous system functioning. Mild deficiency can cause indigestion, fatigue, vomiting, depression, canker sores (aphtous ulcers). Severe Niacin deficiency is a rare condition in developed countries, being usually caused by malnutrition and chronic alcoholism. It can occur in areas where people eat maize as a staple food. Severe and chronic deficit causes pellagra, a disease classically described by three signs: diarrhea, dermatitis and dementia (and eventually death if left untreated).

Answer: Cremate

Carbon (C) Tellurium (TE) Erbium (ER) Americium (AM) The discoverer (or at least a part of him) of the dwarf planet Pluto went on a journey to where no cremated human remains have been before. The New Horizons spacecraft launched in 2006 on its journey to the Kuiper Belt to examine the former planet. Before the ship left Earth a small portion of Clyde Tombaugh's ashes were placed inside. Clyde discovered Pluto in 1930 and his remains were expected to be in close proximity to the dwarf planet by 2015, if the New Horizons' mission was successful.

From Quiz Sauce-ery

Answer: Bearnaise

Bearnaise, also known as "Bearnaise sauce" is prepared by taking clarified butter and then emulsifying it with eggs, vinegar, and savory herbs such as tarragon or shallots. It is different from a Hollandaise sauce because Hollandaise sauce uses citrus (typically lemon juice) in the emulsification process. While Hollandaise sauce is typically used with breakfast dishes (i.e. eggs), Bearnaise sauce is commonly used for meat dishes such as steak. The Bearnaise sauce is believed to date back as far as the 1830s when Chef Jules Collette first prepared the sauce at Le Pavillon Henry IV in Paris, France. It is generally assumed that the sauce was named "Bearnaise" after the Bearn region where Henry IV, a 16th century French king, was born.

From Quiz Learning the ABCs

Answer: AB

The well known ABO blood type classification was founded at the dawn of the 20th century. There are two main sugars, the antigens A or B, which are present on the surface of the red blood cells, corresponding to the blood groups A or B or AB (when both antigens are present). For the group O only the antigen H, precursor for the A and B antigens, is present on the surface of red blood cells. From the theoretical realm of the ABO blood groups, we can make some assumptions regarding its inheritance. In this case the father has blood type AB, this means he has a genotype of AB, and that means both co-dominant alleles A and B. The child can inherit from him either A or B genes. The mother in the above example can have a genotype of AA or a genotype of AO, because O is a recessive allele. The child can inherit from her either A or O allele. The child will possibly have the following genotypes: AA, AO, AB and BO, with the corresponding phenotypes of A, A, AB and B. From this point of view, the combinations BB and OO are impossible combinations. And the combination AB (with father's B allele) can be drawn out from three combinations compared with the unique combination for BO. (A rare combination where both the antigens A and B are absent is barely possible in the case of the Bombay phenotype, and it happens when two recessive forms of the allele for the H antigen (a precursor to both A and B antigens) are inherited. Its frequency is one in a million people in Europe and one in 10000 in India. It is called the Oh group or the hh group. This group lacks A, B and H antigens).
