Trivial Pursuit game

[kompukovboichik]

This will be the future thread of the Trivial Pursuit game currently ongoing at LL. same rules, same contested presenter:D This thread will go live after midnight Aug. 31 eastern time.

For those new to the game.... a set of 6 questions will be asked by myself selected from a group of cards from the Genus edition of the game. selections are not entirely random due to the preponderance of americana in the game, so selections are made to make it as worldly as possible, which can be rather difficult at times. also, questions are numbered to make answering easier. phonetic spelling is accepted granted that it doesn't change the meaning of the answer. (example: peer would be accepted for pier) a new set of questions will be posted when the previous are all answered, and i have posted the correct respondants.

1) blue questions are geography related.
2) purple questions are entertainment related.
3) gray questions are historical.
4) brown questions are about art and literature.
5) green questions are about science and nature.
6) orange questions are about sports and leisure.

5) huney (insects) i think the answer to this may have technically changed now...


That is part of the amusement in using an 'antiquated' version of the game. It makes it that much more challenging when you not only have to know the answer but to know that it 'was' the answer 30 years ago. It invalidates a lot of the answers that might be found by those who rely on google :lol:

[huney]

I'd like to point out that she's not Queen Elizabeth 2nd of Scotland and the censor won't allow me to put what she really is. :eek:

Ah. Now I understand. She's an imposter and you are really Queen of Scotland.

So I will say

3) Germany

[fbibob]

It might be difficult to gather all of the data, but a more important number might be what the percentage of population lost during the war might be.

Mostly I remember a show that said that something like 95% of all men in Germany between the ages of 15 and 60 died in the war.

Back to the game.

Ok, maybe half credit. Kent Allard was the Shadow's true identity in print, but Lamont Cranston was the identity for the radio series.

I wanted to return with my usual grace and therefore felt reluctant to point out that Yanks setting fire to kittens was all part and parcel of their world slash and burn strategy .

6 Should relate to a King. Each suit denotes a different King and I would guess that one of them must be Longshanks or Edward the ? (2nd) who repeatedly smashed the heathens in battle .Guess King of Clubs because hopefully that is what he used to bang their silly heads .
Yak is probably correct and I suppose you will tell us that Yeti or Big Foot has not been conclusively proven .I would have thought the link to the Scots was sufficient evidence .

[Hoopy]

6)It's the 9 of diamonds,the order for the massacre at Glencoe was wrote on it.

I think your first answer, London, is correct

If you are talking banking, Switzerland comes to mind. How about Zurich?

Both Maybe and Good Bye are on the board . But don't confuse our nice Quiz girl . Canadians like to keep counting to three or under . Makes life simple .

[Hoopy]

Really?who?

[huney]

I should have guessed there was a Ouija board in your predictive toolset ;)

[Lucker]

I remember July 2005 when the score was
Artmedia Petrzalka 5 Celtic 0
Yes , this part time team , fielding two women central defenders , chewed Celtic and spat them out .

[fbibob]

Since I am almost always too late to answer any questions, how about another epitaph question.

Who proposed that his tombstone should read "On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia?"

[huney]

Same man who said 'I never voted for anybody. I always voted against'

[Lucker]

The same man who said ," I never worry about being driven to drink . I do worry about being driven home ". Or , very similar

[fbibob]

He also said

"A woman drove me to drink, and I'll be a son-of-a-gun but I never even wrote to thank her."

He also said

"How well I remember my first encounter with The Devil's Brew. I happened to stumble across a case of bourbon--and went right on stumbling for several days thereafter."

and

"I like to keep a bottle of stimulant handy in case I see a snake, which I also keep handy."

and

["Marry an outdoors woman. Then if you throw her out into the yard for the night, she can still survive."

(No disrespect intended, Huney.)

[huney]

None taken, Bob. But you could pass me that bottle; it's a bit chilly out here in my tent. ;)

Lake Weirdie? Do you suppose he has a boat?

[kompukovboichik]

"Honey

i had to google that one to be sure.... there are alot of lakes with strange names in canada... but no... apparently none named lake weirdie... i was however born on the wide open prairies.... son of prairie dogs... gertrude and wilbur tuft hair. one of a kit of 14, first litter of the season... only 5 of us survived... damn owls are everywhere.... :eek: i survived, because i was good at one thing in particular... digging... hence the GIF

[huney]

Seems its a night for good stories. Thank you for that one!

[Lucker]

I seem to have an unfair advantage because I rise early - I run off Hydrogen !!
I will restrict myself to the Kruschev question because it is very difficult .
The correct answer is Yefrosima but you will want Nina .
My answer is correct in the sight of God but in the sight of mere mortals he married three times .
His first wife was Yefrosima but she died very young --- probably he blugeoned her to death with that famous shoe . He then married a kid of 17 named Marusia who was deemed not fit for purpose .
Nina -- your card answer came third .
I know one of his sons was , or is , an academic living in the States . But what happened to his two daughters ?
Also I have never understood the dual nature of his personality . Prior to his elevation ( he ran off Hydrogen also) he was a Stalinist butcher with an appalling record and a close "pal" of Beria .
When he ruled , he was a different guy and by Party standards quite Liberal with even a trace of democracy in his soul .
Any Russian expert who knows the answers ?

[kompukovboichik]

5)Copper?

if that's wrong, I'd say the Iditarod

[Lucker]

I thought of the dog/ sled race which is probably in Alaska and either starts or finishes in Anchorage . Estimated distance 1 million miles .
OK , I don't know how long it is . 3-5000 miles ?

6. The human race.

The Iditarod :)

The question is phrased as 'longest-lasting' meaning time rather than distance. Hence Tour de France

[ashytoo]

Can't be that - it has to be a non-mechanical event

#5 Question mark? (just a guess)
#6 GB (Wales)

[Lucker]

Actually it was Wales .
They often used to kick lambs over furniture when they soiled the living quarters but , nevertheless , once this abominable practise had been wiped out , the English saw the potential in the underlying game .
It was only a matter of time before some rules had been introduced and the proposed game was moved from indoors to outdoors .In England this replaced the far more sensible practise of kicking the wife over the furniture . The centre for all this from 1877 was a small club , outside London called Wimbledon .

[ashytoo]

5) Comma :rolleyes:

If you are not sure with Fuji , do you think Rushmore is a possibilty or even our Matterhorn?

[huney]

Those are good possibilities.

I would like to have said Mount St Helens, but it seems to have been misplaced.

OMG
Argumentative today Unlike me .
Wine is generic in my opinion . So I stick with Bouzo

As for you Hoppy , oh doubting one .
Bread is the most widely eaten food .
And there is a bread tree --- 100%.
Therefore answers like Maize and Rice are not strictly correct , imho .Even though Quiz Girl will disagree . He just wants the Canadian maize industry plugged .

what kind of bread does it fruit? :becky: rye bread? perhaps sourdough? or maybe one of those ukranian easter breads? :lol:

[huney]

Then it must be wheat

[Lucker]

Oi !! If bread is the most eaten food and there is no argument about the existence of the Bread Tree , I demand that you act impartially and not be ruled by a card .
Various trees obviously grow various types of bread .
Just like Apple trees for different sorts of Apple etc etc
What's the matter with you , Canadian Quiz Girl ?

Hardly a feature of everyday English and I was not sufficiently interested to read why and how there are two different " right" answers .

Believe you got distracted when you gave Dali as the painter of the Crucixion .
Obviously many have painted such a titled work .However to put Dali in the same league as Velazquez is like claiming Burgers are nutritional .
I susapect the card shows Dali because they realise Velasquez would be unknown in Disneyland and nobody could spell it anyhow .
