Finally a 100% general knowledge quiz. Usually it's just one that keeps me from a perfect score.

Good quiz, but the "common word for inebriated" question has already been used on GK quiz #120.

I noticed that a few questions are paraphrased and reused every now and then. I don't blame the Quizmaster; how else are you gonna create that many general knowledge quizzes?!

I know it's a bit of a stretch, but could "Delta" mean a very small amount? As in calculus? It was my first thought.

I first thought of epsilon, as in the definition of a limit, but it's rather obvious that the question is asking for something more common.

I thought it would be mu since it is the common symbol meaning micro (10^-6) at least in the metric system. I have no idea what iota has to do whit anything small, could someone explain?

It's commonly used in the phrase "...not one iota of..." Jesus uses the phrase in one of His sermons. It gained that usage because it's the smallest written Greek letter.

You might want to learn German because mu is used for a small amount rather than iota.

Delta implies the difference between two amounts, not necessarily a very small amount in itself.

I don't think it's a stretch at all. In science, delta means a small amount; in mathematics, epsilon... Iota was my third try. This might be one of those questions that punishes people in specific fields of study.

Capital delta means change, it doesn't have to be small, taking the limit as one does in calculus is a derivative. I was thinking that lowercase delta was used for partial derivative and just to be sure, I looked it up just now and found out I've been wrong all these years. I still don't know how I managed to get a math degree

John Philip Sousa did not actually invent the sousaphone, but rather it was given to him as a gift by a member of his band.

Murder stats, like so many other stats, are meaningless if you count absolute numbers by political entity. Nigeria might in any case be higher than Brazil (depending on years counted), but per capita is a very different story, one which looks especially bad for the Caribbean and southern Africa. (El Salvador might be number one.)
