I'll add questions to this periodically. Easy ones worth 10k hard worth up to 50k...heres the first question:


In 1860 Frederick Walton named his new product after the latin words for its two main constituents, flax and oil. What was it?

10k to the first correct answer.
 
Next question.
 
jesus' mother mary!
 
Last one for tonight, another 10k to the winner:

What word (in the English language) has six vowels, and every one is 'A'?

Dude, can you finish a NY Times Crossword? If so, then you can't play anymore.
Yes, but I was logged off. Actually, I was doing the crossword from today's paper...lol :Chef: :tuc:
 
The biggest problem with trivia is that no question is hard if you already know the answer and Google covers much of the rest these days. We really need some great imponderables.

True. I'm not gonna do this again until I find something that is difficult to Google.
 
riddles and things like that are good because you can re word them a bit and they will be real hard to google..

Don't worry, Gretzky has is work cut out for him next time I post one of these threads. :evil:
 
Ok, try this one. What do the English word "Socks" and a reasonable Spanish translation of "That's exactly right" have in common?

Questions of a more mathematical nature would be an excellent way to obturate those who Google everything for a quick answer.

In addition, the aforesaid riddle idea would also work quite well, as would puzzle or logic questions.

Something like those classic Microsoft interview questions (although they could be Googled, just an example):


You have four people at a bridge... one HAS to carry a flashlight as they cross, but only two can cross at a time. And nobody can go alone.

It only takes one 1 minute to cross. Another takes 2 minutes. Another, 5. And the last, 10.

If the person who takes 1 minute goes with the person who takes 10... it automatically takes 10 minutes.

How many minutes will it take them all to cross.. at the quickest?

You have two fuses... they burn at different rates and not at steady rates. BUT! They only burn for one hour. One could burn the entire way except one inch within one minute, then spend the last 59 on that last inch, for example.

You also have to use this to somehow time 45 minutes exactly. How would you do it?

Or something of a more linguistic or grammatical nature, like the following:


A person takes the elevator to the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, then jumps off the building. He freefalls all the way to the street below. He walks away from it uninjured. How can this be?

Or maybe picture puzzles, like this one: Fill in the black areas
my.php



Or brain teasers like:


Enter through one, exit through two, then enter through two, exit through one.
What is being enter/exited?

Or something cruel and unusual for the entirety of your karma!


It's time to study ancient Laurasian civilization. Here's an important formula that may or may not look familiar:

L = J'6oAL EL5J YCAQ JC5C 68oL -> 5'TYoA QELL |6T5 LLC5 J5dd i

Some common numerical sequences are encoded below:

J, d, E, o, Q, LL, Ld, L8, dQ, E2, 56, o8, J|2, JE8, T88, Y26, YA2, P2L, U2Q

L, h, 5, LY, oY, hQ|, Ld6|, 2QY|, EY2Y|, do EBV, h5L LEV, L9Y9 B9V, L odhY 99V

L, L, h, d, [, Y, Q, L[, hh, do, [2, 2/, e2, Lo2, hJh, dQ6, JdQ, SLY, L/[[, LSJQ

/, b, J, S, B, /Z, /9, h7, hQ, bo, 7h, 7e, Z6, J2, oY, YY, 22, S6, 6e, Qh, eo, BQ

/, 7, 2, //, /2, h7, 6/, 7/, Z/, J7, oY, 2/, S2, 97, e/, /V, /h/, /77, /J2, /2/

But something was lost in the transliteration. To make this scheme consistent, what diacritical mark should be added to the o?

Hint: The arrow is exponentiation.

Here's a tough one, if you've never heard it before:

There's a village with 50 couples in it. The village has few rules but one of them is that if a man comes to know that his wife is unfaithful then he must take her to the village square at midnight that day and shoot her. Naturally every man believes his wife to be faithful. Unfortunately, every man knows that every other man's wife is unfaithful but it isn't something ever discussed since none would break the midnight execution rule.

A traveller comes to the village and, when he leaves, he announces that there is an unfaithful woman in there. Naturally, since untruth in unknown in the village and every man knows of 49 unfaithful wives, they all believe him. What happens?
