General Knowledge Quiz #1

You should acccept Plumbum for Pb because that is technically correct.

For birds of a feather I tried Stick together Fly together Stay together I completely forgot flock together

Don't you hate it when people reply to the top comment saying something totally off-topic, just so they will be seen?

Um, no. Hate to break it to you but the quiz is in English, not Latin. If you accept "Plumbum", then you'll have to accept every language ("plomb", "blei", "piombo", "chumbo", "plomo" etc.)

Thank you Modern Warfare 2 for the map Favela! (Not just because it's my favorite map in the game)

Please also accept "stick together"

That's not the saying, though. It's a famous quote, and therefore should remain original.

^ It is?

In the UK it's 'flock' together. That's what the saying is. End of discussion. Nice weather we're having eh?

Agreed. That's the only way I've ever heard the expression.

Uh, almost typed IKEA for the Swedish band one.

Only thing that came to mind is Lordi... but turns out that is finnish

Why is this a new featured one?

In that case that question isn't true yet, Maria is still a Hurricane me

I got Toro from guessing Toronto... Bonus.

Same.

kind of tough when you have taurus in your head. After many tries I thought of torro, heard it in my head. But that didnt work either, not untill later I tried it with one r

I didn't know the answer, but I thought, who would be dumb enough to say something like this. After I tried 'Madonna' and did not have the correct answer, I tried to think of Britney Spears but I drew a blank. So I typed 'Beckham.' Bingo.

Although I knew the answer, I thought this tidbit would be a little too esoteric to be on a general knowledge quiz.

Good quiz, if you like General Knowledge quizzes try my first of 29 ...here it is

I thought the question "What is the nearest city to New York City that has a population over 10 million?' meant the city that was physically closest to New York City and had 10 million residents.

I think your understanding is correct.

Um, yes? What else did it mean?

I must be the only one to type in Zirconium instead of Zinc...

Don't worry, there always are people who will overthink it :)

Thought of both, but chose to type zinc, because I'm lazy.

No, you aren't.

Wrong.

Nope only thought of zirconium. why would you think that?

Because Zinc is much more common and well-down and easier to type than Zirconium

I put Zirconium too, I thought I was only one

I went straight to zirconium. When I saw zinc in the answer I was like "zinc! that's more obvious!"

If people came to know the real truth behind Gandhi, then they would have thanked god that he didn't got the noble prize.

That given the opportunity, he will rain nukes on your civilization? Nope sorry, don't follow. Also I feel that my life would be unaffected by anyone winning the Noble Peace Prize (unless I got a share of the winnings).

I don't think Gandhi would have been eligible for a Noble Peace Prize as he was not royalty.

Obama didn't win a "noble" peace prize MasterKenobi

i got Einstein trying to guess the nobel prize one, and toro while guessing "toronto" on the new york one

Pennies from heaven.

If I'm expected to know things that David Beckham has said or the names of his spawn, then surely it should not be out of bounds to ask a European to know the Heisman trophy.

Also... "WHO are" in the ABBA question? Are you sure you're American, Quizmaster?

If you know david beckham good chance you know he has a kid named brooklyn ( even if you dont know beckham, there are only a few (too many) weird kid names out there) You do not need to know what he has said or anything else about him. I literally only know his name, that he is a soccer player and the name of his kid (you only have to hear it once to make it stick)

People so often try to appear high-brow by denying that they know anything about modern culture. In fact it just makes them look extra ignorant. Normal, intelligent people are aware of Aristotle AND David Beckham.

David Sideris: The vet told me (of my sick cat) I should think about euthanasia. I imagined Japanese children spilling out of their school. He said, "are you thinking about it?" Yep, I replied.
