Groups of Four Quiz #2

teeth shouldn't be there because of wisdom

wisdom teeth are molars. The term "wisdom" just denotes the time in your life you get them in. They are also called "twelve year molars"

Close, but the 12-year molars are the second set of molars, that usually come in around age 12 (shocking, I know). Wisdom Teeth are the third set of molars, which come in usually between ages 16-22.

And, in rare cases such as mine, twelve years old. And if you're going to be that odd, why not go even further and add another rare case, such as mine, with seven wisdom teeth!

To be fair, I'm 16 and my 12 year molars aren't fully grown in. I have 3 wisdom teeth, but from the way it looks I may never get those in (thank god)

Some people don't get wisdom teeth, and most people who do get them removed.

As I did last week.

Apparently, malocclusion is a result of the soft food in many contemporary diets -- it changes our face/jaw as we grow and so as adults we don't have room for wisdom teeth. http://darwinian-medicine.com/how-the-western-diet-has-changed-the-human-face/

@redsplat Ancient and Medieval peoples really needed those teeth to come in because they didn’t have the dental capabilities that we have today to take care of them. I’d rather keep my full set of adult teeth and not gain the wisdom ones than lose some so that the wisdom ones are necessary.

ROFL

Yes he's right and that's not that nerdy to know it. I heard of even more states of matter than five, which are more exotic. And I never heard before that plasma is the fourth... solid, liquid and gas are just taught because they're the most common ones in our environment.

It's more complicated than just being common. and the idea that plasma is the fourth (major) state of matter is pretty widely accepted. But where to draw the line between the 4 larger categories is arbitrary, and many of the more exotic states of matter have to do with the hazy area between states. A Bose-Einstein condensate on the other hand is the one that actually fits this category. Much like plasma, you need some pretty extreme conditions to get it, but in this case you need extremely cold conditions as opposed to extremely hot conditions for plasma.

Plasma is actually the most common state of matter in the universe, by a VERY comfortable margin.

I blanked on Plasma until I remembered that they are the villain team in the fifth gen Pokemon games

A memory aid that will never, EVER work for me.

My memory aid is solid, liquid, gas and plasma. It’s just that simple.

And it’s truly a shame that you missed out on Black and White.

Actually, I didn't miss out on Black and White. We didn't get a color TV until I was about 6. ;-)

Please also accept Romansch - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romansh_language. There are more alternative spellings there I didn't know about.

The invention of the printing press was not the invention of printing. That's like saying music was created in 1700 because that's when the piano was invented. Movable type printing was invented in China more than 400 years before Gutenberg, and woodblock printing another 800 years before than (also in China).

Didn't know how to spell Romansh. I kept trying to put Romanisch

Susan Storm should be accepted as an answer

and Johnny Storm

If you know their alter egos, you certainly know their more well-known character names.

Could you please accept the spelling Romanisch for Swiss languages? That's how I've always seen it spelled.

Clearly, China didn't invent pet rocks, or they would've been on the list.

Well then who did?

how did you group the answers?

Tough one! I don't know anything about the Fantastic Four and I've never even heard of the four temperaments.

I tried submolars and some other variants. I knew it was something like that. Missed that one, Ravenclaw, and Melancholic.

Can you allow print as a type-in for printing?

I thought the four great inventions of ancient China were beer, noodles, and tea, which resulted in a need for the fourth, a toothbrush. :)

Can you acccept black powder for gunpowder.

Bose Einstein Condensates are widely regarded to be the 5th state of matter.

Can you accept first names, like Reed Richards for the Fantastic Four?
