General Knowledge Mix Trivia Questions

1. Where would I be if I was at the place where Neil and Buzz, while inside "the Eagle", landed?

From Quiz
Ten Easy Questions (Or Are They?)

Answer: The Moon

In 1969 the famous line "The Eagle has landed" was broadcast throughout the world. One of the most amazing facts about the Moon landing, is the computing power used by the Space Program was a lot less than the computing power available in the first laptop computers.

2. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had which nickname that sounded very much like what you'd call a sleeping cow?

From Quiz I'm a Pushover for a Bulldozer

Sharon was a feared commander in the Israeli Army. He was a part of his country's army when it first started, 1948, and participated in most of the major conflicts Israel became embroiled in. These included their War for Independence in 1948, the Qibya Massacre, the Suez War, the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War. He once claimed that "even sheep are afraid of me", called his autobiography "The Warrior" and, in March 2001, became Israel's 11th Prime Minister.

From Quiz Yet More Bad Jokes

Answer: Wombledon

"The Wombles", who featured in a fondly remembered children's TV series, included "Tobermory", "Tomsk" and "Great Uncle Bulgaria". I suspect that if we British put one of them up to compete in the actual Wimbledon championship, we'd have a better chance of winning.

7. "Wanted: Experienced gandy dancer. Must be hardworking and nimble. Apply in person to M. Pritchett, 84 Main Street". In what field should all applicants have experience?

12. In 1917, Marcel Duchamp caused an uproar by submitting a Dada piece to the Society of Independent Artists exhibit entitled 'Fountain'. What item was used to create the work of art?

From Quiz Luscious Leftovers

Answer: a urinal

Some tender leftover morsels! Cold pork chop: Duchamp signed the piece with the name and date "R. Mutt 1917", apparently a play on the company who manufactured the urinal. There are, however, other ideas as to what the name might mean such as the German word 'armut' which means 'poverty'. As Duchamp submitted the piece anonymously, and he was a board member of the Society of Independent Artists, he was irate when they decided not to show the piece even though the show was proclaimed to be showing all work submitted. He resigned from the board after the event. There have been several attempts by museum visitors to urinate on the reproduced copies of the urinals (the original was lost). The Tate Modern attempted to solve this problem by putting 'Fountain' in a display box.

13. In comparison to fish-size extremities, what geographic nation on Earth is the least similar to the stout infantfish?

From Quiz Complex Abecedarian

Answer: Russia

What one would normally ask: What is the largest country in the world? The stout infantfish was identified as the smallest fish in the world in 2004 (this record was previously claimed by the dwarf goby fish.) These fishes are native to the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, and they measure approximately 7mm long. Inevitably, Russia is the least similar to the stout infantfish because it holds the record as the largest country in the world.

14. After leaving the park you go into a book store You pick up a book called "Eats, Shoots and Leaves". You read the blurb and find it is a book about this subject.

From Quiz It's Not What You Think

Answer: punctuation

"Eats, Shoots and Leaves" is a book on punctuation written by Lynne Truss, which quickly became a best-seller in Britain. Think of the two different scenes that are envisaged by "eats shoots and leaves" - a munching animal and "eats, shoots and leaves" - restaurant patron shoots someone on leaving. What a difference a comma can make! The complete title is "Eats, Shoots and Leaves: the zero tolerance approach to punctuation".

15. How many imaginary numbers does it take to change a lightbulb?

From Quiz Yet More Bad Jokes

Answer: i

A joke for mathematicians. In complex maths, the letter "i" represents the square root of -1, which does not in fact exist, and is therefore termed an imaginary number. Apparently what would seem to be a mind-bogglingly pointless area of study does have some practical uses, but if you know what they are, you're a better person than i. Boom boom.

16. "For sale: all equipment for apiary business. Hardly used. Only $25. Call Bud at KL5-1234". So what kind of businessperson might respond to this sweet deal?

17. What links "Sean Connery", "Billy Connolly", "Arthur Conan Doyle" and "Macbeth"?

From Quiz FunTrivia General Knowledge Mix: Vol 2

Answer: Scotland

"Macbeth" is a play by Shakespeare about the attempt to usurp the Scottish throne, whilst the other three people mentioned are Scottish born. Arthur Conan Doyle was a Scottish physician who will be remembered as the author of the "Sherlock Holmes" series of books and short stories. Billy Connolly is a well known Scottish comedian, and Sean Connery is arguably the public favorite of the actors who portrayed "James Bond" on the silver screen.

Question by player merrijig

18. What do an American aviatrix lost at sea in 1937, an American feminist whose name is attached to women's clothing reform, and the central character in a series of children's books about a housemaid who takes everything literally, have in common?

From Quiz FunTrivia General Knowledge Mix: Vol 1

Answer: Amelia

Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) was an aviator, author, teacher, public speaker and all-around feminist. She was pals with Eleanor Roosevelt. Amelia Bloomer (1818-1894) was a writer and publisher (of a newspaper called "The Lilly") which supported temperance, suffrage and women's rights. While she did not invent "bloomers", her personal adoption of them and support for them lent to their being associated with her name. Amelia Bedelia books have been written since 1963 by the originator Peggy Parish and, after she died in 1988, by her nephew Herman Parish. Similarly, they have been illustrated by Wallace Tripp, Fritz Siebel, Lynn Sweat, Lynne Avril and Barbara Siebel Thomas.

Question by player FatherSteve

19. The Blue Whale is the largest mammal ever known, but which small creature does it mostly eat?

From Quiz Ten Easy Questions (Or Are They?)

Answer: Krill

Krill are small prawn-like or shrimp-like creatures that mostly feed on plankton. Blue Whales are one of the baleen whales and do not have teeth, instead they have baleen plates that are used to filter out small animals from the sea water. Baleen whales, penguins, squid and seals all feed on krill, making krill an essential part of the food chain in the oceans of the world.

20. Which band, a favourite of cows, had hits during the 1960s and 70s with songs such as "Question", "Isn't Life Strange" and "Go Now"?

From Quiz I'm a Pushover for a Bulldozer

Answer: Moody Blues

Moooooo-dy Blues ... get it ... sorry, but I should warn you that the jokes do not get any better. Seriously though, it's been proven that most cows will produce more milk if they listen to music. The Moody Blues formed in Birmingham, England in 1964 and found early success with their second single "Go Now". The song went to number one on the UK charts and reached the top ten in Billboard's Hot 100. However, it wasn't until 1967 when they released their album "Days of Future Passed" that they were able to make significant inroads into the US market. The album got to number three on the American album charts and spawned the hit singles "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon".

21. CELEBRITIES: Who sang the song "Tea for the Tillerman"?

From Quiz 20 Cat-egories of FunTrivia!

Answer: Cat Stevens

Yusuf Islam, better known by his former stage name, Cat Stevens, is a singer-songwriter from England. The song "Tea for the Tillerman" comes from the 1970 album of the same name, and was used as the theme tune to the UK comedy series, "Extras".

22. Some types of ants maintain a mutual relationship with what insect by keeping predators away in exchange for honeydew, a sweet liquid produced by their partner?

From Quiz Luscious Leftovers

Answer: aphid

Some tender leftover morsels! Smushed peas: These relationships, sometimes referred to as "farming", allow the ants to continually harvest the carbohydrate-rich honeydew. The ants tend the aphids, protecting them from predators, including the aphids' biggest hunter, the ladybug. The ants will often carry the aphids from plant to plant as the aphids' feeding methods tend to wilt or kill the plants they eat from. Sometimes the ants will even shuttle the aphids for safety at night, and bring them back during daylight to feed.

23. Whose tombstone credits him with being the "author of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom" and as "Founder of the University of Virginia", but does not mention that he was the third President of the United States?

From Quiz An Easy Quizzle of Your General Knizzle

Answer: Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson's stone also includes that he was author of the Declaration of Independence, but it omits that he was minister to France during the American Revolution, along with all his other government positions. None of the other choices ever served as president.

24. What substance is produced when two neutral atoms, both with one electron, are combined with another neutral atom with eight electrons?

From Quiz Complex Abecedarian

Answer: Water

What one would normally ask: What does the formula H2O represent? H2O is written with the number 2 as a subscript. This indicates that in one molecule of water, there are two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. If you pay close attention to the question, it asks you to determine the substance that two NEUTRAL atoms of hydrogen and one NEUTRAL atom of oxygen would combine to. Without the addition of the word "neutral", the atoms may be defined as cations, which has a positive charge due to a loss of electron(s), or anions, which has a negative charge due to a gain of electron(s). Ions have properties that are dissimilar to that of neutral atoms. Since I defined hydrogen as an atom with one electron, I must add the word "neutral" to show that it is indeed hydrogen, and not an ion of any other element. The same goes for the oxygen representation in the question.

25. While leafing through another book you come across a page about a Suffolk Punch. What does this page describe?

From Quiz It's Not What You Think

From Quiz The As You Like It Quiz

Answer: April

If anyone else is old enough to remember watching "The Love Boat", you'll remember that a frequent guest star was Charo, the sexy Latin entertainer. On the show, she played April, who charmed passengers and crew alike with her outfits and bubbly personality. "April is the cruelest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land...." is the first verse of "The Waste Land", T.S. Eliot's famous poem. Most people would disagree with his characterization of April, which is generally regarded as the start of spring and new life. This is probably why April was chosen as the month for Earth Day. The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970, and continues to be celebrated every year as a reminder to us that we belong to the earth, not the other way around.
