Trivial Trisphites (5-coin prizes and more! Show off your Google Fu and Knowledge!)
Alright, people, ready for a game of trivia? Here's how it works. Questions will be posted in their respective categories in the third post (the one after the prize pool). You can answer as many questions as you like, but you have to wait one hour between posting, unless you're challenging the master for a prize.
At the end of one hour after the first answer was posted, all coins will jotted down for redemption at the end of the day (the end of the day being either midnight where I live or when I decide to go to bed). It all adds up and will be shown under the prize pool post. COIN PRIZES The first person to answer a question, regardless of its correctness, will have five coins awarded at the end of an hour after posting--provided no one corrects it. You can quote a wrong answer and correct it. If your corrections are accurate, the one being corrected loses a coin, and the correcter gains a coin. You cannot correct your own answer, please make sure you have your facts straight before you post. I don't count typos or grammar mistakes as corrections. This is strictly the fact-checking type.You can also earn coins by adding additional relevant information to an answer. This will gain you a coin without detracting from the original poster's coins. You also can't add additional information to your posts. In the case of more than one correct answer, if the first answer is correct, the additional answers (assuming they're significantly different) will be counted as additional information and receive one coin. ADDITIONAL PRIZES You can choose to challenge the resident master (me) to be tested on your knowledge. You will be given ten questions in the subject of your choosing, one at a time. You have up to an hour before you're considered to have failed a question. If you fail ANY question, you have to wait an hour to challenge the master again. I will tell you if you don't have an answer correct, and you'll still have the rest of the hour to answer it correctly. It doesn't have to be in depth, just correct enough. (For example, I'll except 'yellow hair' as easily as 'blonde', even though blonde might be considered more correct, but i will not accept 'yellow hair' if the hair is white; 'blonde' covers yellow, gold, sandy and white hair.) You don't have to wait an hour for the next question, if you got it correct. I'll ask you the next one right away, if you want. (You can also take breaks, if something comes up. If something comes up in the middle of the question, it won't count as a failure. Just tell me, and I'll simply ask you a different one when you come back. This is negotiable depending on the situation. Talk to me, I'm a reasonable guy.) You can get ONE COIN EACH TWO CORRECT QUESTIONS for challenging the master, for A TOTAL OF FIVE COINS. You can additionally pick one item from the prize pool in the next post if you answer all ten questions correctly. Anyone may also still get coins from adding additional information to CORRECT answers, within the proscribed hour. |
Just cut-and-paste the question and put your answer beneath it. More questions are added everyday. Good luck to you all. There may be repeats. I don't have the best memory. It won't be intentional. Feel free to take advantage, it's just my bad if it happens.
Proof In The Pudding Find an incorrect answer that has already expired, quote it and the question, and correct it. Win five silver or a prize from the pool. Corrected questions will be listed below. |

That's fine, tsukiko, it happens!
Okay guys, I'm headed to bed, but the rules still apply. You can quote to correct or add to each other, and I'll update everything in the morning. What's down now I'll put up. Just try to remember the expiration on correcting and adding is one hour form the answer being posted! I'll update what's already out here, but I haven't missed anyone. |

barf: means vomit in English, but in Welsh it's just a beard frown: means a certain facial expression in English, in Welsh it's the colour brown, at least when it undergoes soft mutation (a brown beard seriously translates to barf frown, a brown whereas brown sugar will be siwgr brown instead) bean: a type of vegetable, but it's a woman in Welsh bra: a type of female undergarment, but it means good in Swedish kiss: a show of affection, but in Sweden it stinks as there it means urine fart: now that stinks in the US, but in Sweden it means speed slut: a female person with questionable morals, in Sweden merely the end or sold out. So when a swedish costume store wanted to let their customers know that several costumes were already sold entirely, it looked like this: (honorable mentions: slutspurt is a commonly used term for sale in Sweden, and slutstation a train's final destination. A speed control by the police is a fartkontrol) gift: you would love to receive a present in the US, but in Germany you're actually getting poison, so be careful die: the act of losing one's life may sound horrid, but the main reason you encounter this word so often in Germany is because it's the definite article for female nouns fast: it can mean speedy, but in German it means almost bald: someone having no hair, or soon in German hell: it might be a place where we all end up in, but that's because it's one that's brightly illuminated in Germany, or a tender one in Estonia. What were you thinking? part: if your piece of a whole suddenly quacks, then maybe because in Estonian it means duck (honorable mention: seaside in Estonian roughly translates to pig's communication, though I think it's not 100% grammatically correct) brat: it might be an annoying person, or just your brother in Russia. Not that there's always so much difference between the two... |
1-Katy Perry sings a song called Last Friday Night (TGIF). What does the initialism stand for?

I noticed I even forgot two.
fear: a feeling of dread, or a man in Welsh plant: that thing that tirelessly produces oxygen for your pleasure, or Welsh for children But. Time for a new answer. Quote:

Okay, just kidding. You're talking about the mantis shrimp, which strikes with such a speed and force that it forms vapor bubbles from areas of low pressure (generated by its strike against water resistance). Once the bubbles collapse, not only will the shock wave knock the target out, but also emit light and heat - up to 8500 degree Fahrenheit. You better not challenge Freddie to a fist fight. |
