Would have never guessed that's a coffee filter. Have seen many ashtrays and older design-glassima-thingy's filled with miscellaneous items and eatables looking just like that.
I think cupcake liners have sharper folds. Also especially on the left side that filter looks floppier than a cupcake liner is. The liners I know look like they'll hold the shape better.
It would be really appreciated if you could replace the foam hand image with one that doesn't target Indigenous peoples. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Indians_name_and_logo_controversy
Here's a hand that is free to use, and will only hurt the musically sensitive :) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:They_Might_Be_Giants_Foam_Hand.jpeg
Oh my goodness, I'm of Cherokee descent and am not offended that a baseball team is named the Indians. They are a group of people working together for the good of all in the "tribe". It's a sign that whites recognized and appreciated that trait in the native people even if they didn't treat us very fairly. In all honesty, I'm a little more concerned about "redsplat" than I am about a piece of foam rubber - just sayin...
I bought this kind of "french press" in London years ago, but they called it "a Percolator" then and that's the only word I've ever known or used for it.
a percolator is something different. a percolator is something you heat over an element, and it makes the water boil and go through the coffee grounds.
In Australia we call them 'plungers' or 'bodums'. I tried 'coffee plunger' on my third attempt, and it worked. I've never heard them called a french press or a cafetiere.
In Germany we jokingly call them Klammeraffe (German word for spider monkey). A "Klammer" is a clip, staple, bracket... ("Affe" = monkey) and to "klammern" means holding on tightly to somebody or something (which a monkey does to a tree or whatever), so in this case the staple holding on to the paper. As you may have noticed this probably describes a stapler better than the object but for some reason they both can be called that... Don't ask for the logic. Just a little fun fact.
I tried it and it wasn't accepted, although I did check the spelling online and it showed it spelt with two "F's" and two "T's". I have no idea which is correct, but possibly a bit more leeway on the spelling.
The coffee filter alos looks like a cupcake holder to me, but a lot seem to have the same issue.
One f and one t since it comes from French. It normally has a grave accent : cafetière. It's a false friend actually, what we call "cafetière" in French is a coffee pot. And, anyway, the only time that I saw this thing used to make coffee is by a Swedish man in Pisa ^^.
A wifi router is not the same thing as a modem, though they are sometimes combined into the same device. I have modem that the cable connects to and a router that handles the traffic of multiple devices, which a modem can't do.
They are two different machines. The modem is the machine that connects the router to the network, and the router is the machine that broadcasts and receives WiFi. Anyone with a wired internet connection is using a modem, but only those with WiFi are using a router. (At least I think that's how it all works.)
Close. You could also be using a router that is not wireless, just routing to different machines. The one in the picture is the classic lynksys wireless G router.
I might be getting you wrong but the way you word it seems to be the wrong way around. In short, your router creates a network between the computers in your home, while your modem connects that network—and thus the computers on it—to the internet. (though nowadays they are often combined into one)
I had no idea on that first picture and still don't really see what makes it evident, but apparently I'm in the minority since 88% of people got it right.
As many others said above, that coffee filter looks like a pastry case. This would be less ambiguous imo : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_filter#/media/File:Koffiefilter_RA.jpg
@Arp2600exactly, that is what a coffeefilter looks like to me
@ctleng76 it looks nothing like a coffeefilter to me, after knowing the answer, with a bit of imagination I can see it, but seems way too shallow and floppy. But I guess they use it as a coffeefilter somewhere atleast ;)
There are tons of people who have never made their own coffee before, or never consumed coffee before, or made it some way other than by using a filter that looked like that. Very few people today have never seen a computer (including 0% of the people at this website).
yea I dont drink coffee but I know what a perculator is ( just didnt know a name for the french press thing...) coffeefilter had never occured to me (as to many others in this thread)
I used coffee filters before and I've never seen one looking similar to this one. I even went so far to say it can't possibly be a coffee filter because I've never seen one with corrugated sides and I have no idea what use they could have.
ugh didnt accept riksja, so I thought in english there was a totally different name. I was thinking too difficult for the staple remover, I thought I had a specefic name, did try destapler though. Never heard of french press, typed percolator.. and thought the coffee filter was something you made cupcakes in for instance...
That staple remover looks just like the one in the Lego movie!
Also, could Quizmaster use a different photo for the coffee filter? I tried so many different ways of saying 'muffin wrapper', and it wasn't even that! Otherwise, this is a great quiz
In the UK, that is a gazebo. I am in the UK, and I know what a gazebo is. It does look rather like a small bandstand though, so flexibility on that point wouldn't seem too lenient.
Dear Quizmaster - It would be helpful if you included something else in the picture of the coffee filter to indicate the scale. Thanks!

If you still disagree, can you please explain why this wouldnt be a modem.
I also agree about the coffee filter, it looks exactly the same as an English fairy cake case.

Pavilion for Gazebo
Sugar cane for Candy cane
Ricksha for Rickshaw
