Non-TF Trivia Thread (multiple choice)

[GoktimusPrime]

RULES

+ Questions may be relevant to anything that's not related to Transformers. Let's keep things tasteful though. :)

+ All questions must be posted as MULTIPLE CHOICE. You must offer four answers for players to select from.

+ The person who asks the question has 36 hours after posting his/her question to confirm if anyone has correctly answer the question. If no-one has correctly answered the question within that time frame, s/he may ask another question or delegate someone else to ask a new question. In the case of passing the go to anyone (i.e.: free turn) then the first person to post a new question is the new question asker. If the original question asker has not responded within 36 hours of posting his/her question then their turn is forfeited and it becomes a free turn.

+ After answering a question wait for the preceding question asker to confirm that your answer is correct within 36 hours of having posted your answer before submitting a new question.

+ Players are not permitted to privately or publicly consult each other for answers - this is not cooperative play!

+ Players may only submit one answer at a time. Where two or more correct answers exist, this is acceptable, but speculative multiple answers are not allowed.

+ Players are NOT permitted to submit questions that they do not know the correct answer to!!

+ After asking a question, a player is not permitted to answer the next preceding question posed by the winning player. This rule is to prevent the game just being bounced constantly between two players. It may be overruled if the winning player decides to pass on his/her turn ('open floor').

Rules subject to change if any need arises.

Q: Ancient Egypt operated under which form of government?

A. Democracy
B. Theocracy
C. Anarcho-communism
D. Republicanism

[roller]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm b i say

[kup]

A: Ancient Egypt was an Authoritarian Theocracy. The Pharaoh was the head of state and considered a God. Priests fuctioned as Ministers.

.....Tempted to start a controversial religious argument but holding it back......... :0

[GoktimusPrime]

You're both right, but roller got in first. The correct answer is indeed B, theocracy, as explained by kup. :)

Your turn roller.

[kup]

You're both right, but roller got in first. The correct answer is indeed B, theocracy, as explained by kup. :)

Your turn roller.

lol in Roller's "hmmmmmmmmmmmm b" I missed the 'b' completely and didn't know he had answered the question.

[roller]

Red is from which pokemon town?

A. New bark town

B. Pallet Town

C. Old Sydney Town

D. Cobbles Town

[i_amtrunks]

I am very ashamed that this still has a place in my memory..

it's B. Pallet Town

[roller]

i_is trunks is correct!!!

pokeeeeeemonnnnn gotta catch em all gotta catch em all pokemonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! !!

[kup]

i_is trunks is correct!!!

pokeeeeeemonnnnn gotta catch em all gotta catch em all pokemonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! !!

Yes the Earth's only chance for a peaceful cosmos is for Optimus Prime and the Autobots to destroy their enemy and free all minicons!

[GoktimusPrime]

(o_O) Buh?! The correct answer is actually Masara Town, which is in none of the available options. That question is invalid. :/

[roller]

gok how did you come to that conclusion?

[Thanatos]

Oh Gok, when will you learn that we grew up thinking Red/Ash came from Pallet because we live in an English speaking country and as a rule of thumb sometimes ignore Japanese origins.

[roller]

incase this gets nitpicky im refering to Red of the translated manga

Red beats the chicken poo out of wimpy Ash

I is trunks has the next go

[GoktimusPrime]

...so these are the names from the dub?! Eeww... Oh well, at least you didn't get the epileptic-seizure inducing episode. d:

P.S.: in future if you're requiring an answer which comes from a translation where the answer significantly deviates from the original source, please mention it in the question. (:
e.g.: "According to the 1980s English dub of Mighty Atom (Astroboy), who created Astroboy?"

Anyway, with all that clarified now, it is indeed i_amtrunks' turn next :)

[Jimreborn]

Oh Gok, when will you learn that we grew up thinking Red/Ash came from Pallet because we live in an English speaking country and as a rule of thumb sometimes ignore Japanese origins.

Anyway, with all that clarified now, it is indeed i_amtrunks' turn next :)

:mad:

This is an Australian message board for Australians who primarily watch English language versions of cartoons. For 99% of people on this board they would think of the english versions of Pokemon and Astroboy when hearing those titles. Nobody should be expected to specifiy dubs like this.

If somebody wants to ask questions about Pocket Monsters or Mighty Atom they can and should use those titles but don't expect many people to want to play.

[GoktimusPrime]

I have never watched Pokémon dubbed, so I have absolutely no idea what the dubbed names would be.

In any case roller's question and i_amtrunks' answer have been revalidated (and i_amtrunks has already posted the next question), let's just move on shall we.

[roller]

Since it appears that no-one else knows this...

To be honest I am a little worried at how long it took for the answer to be given, especially since it would be such an easy thing to google image search...

As an approximation, what is the figure that females outnumber males by in the grand old town of Melbourne?

A. Zero. There is an exact and perfect balance.

B. 20000 extra ladies. A decent sum.

C. 50000 extra ladies. How can any hetero male of consenting age still be single?

D. 1000000 extra ladies. Oh now that's just ridiculous!

[Jimreborn]

Uhh... B? Though I wish it was D

[TheDirtyDigger]

You got it Jimbo!:cool:

20000 extra are decent odds though.

New rule: After asking a question, a player is not permitted to answer the next preceding question posed by the winning player. This rule is to prevent the game just being bounced constantly between two players. It may be overruled if the winning player decides to pass on his/her turn ('open floor').

Q: Which cell organelle is responsible for protein bio synthesis?

A. Chloroplasts
B. Endoplasmic reticulum
C. Golgi apparatus
D. Midichlorians

[roller]

my go? ? What ell toe are you on aboot?


Its definetly not A

i go with B based on my failing yr 12 Bio memory


my bio teacher was sooooooo hot she and i still chat, if yer get my meaning :D

[GoktimusPrime]

You're right - so it's your go.

Funny how you said that it's definitely not A when D is absolutely wrong!

Chloroplasts are cell organelles, but they only exist in plant cells. Midichlorians are not organelles, but rather microscopic organisms that live inside cells. With a sufficient amount of midichlorians in a host organism's cells, they collective act as a sensory organ and allow the host to perceive the Force, thus making them Force Sensitive. Such hosts are able to be trained in the ways of the Force such as the Jedi or Sith arts.

A. Bargeass

B. Barry McKenzie

C. Alvin Purple

D. Madame Chiang Kai Skek

[TheDirtyDigger]

I'm gunna throw up 'B' as my answer.

Although Alvin Purple is cool. Never saw the movie but watched 'Melvin, Son of Alvin' as a kid.

[Pulse]

A. Bargeass

B. Barry McKenzie

C. Alvin Purple

D. Madame Chiang Kai Skek

Are any of those characters/real people or are they all "roller" names? :confused:;):D

[Paulbot]

I don't know the last name, but Detective Sergeant Bargearse (pffft 'scuse I) and the others have all been in TV/movies. :D

[TheDirtyDigger]

I know who Chiang Kai Chek is but I'm not too sure on who Madame Chiang Kai Skek is.

[i_amtrunks]

Im going to guess "C" Alvin Purple, with no reasoning behind it..

Thankfully I never had to study that film in Aussie Film Studies while at Uni.

[roller]

it should be mandatory for all Austtralians to watch this classic iconic Austrahlian filum.

Dirtydigger is correct


Barry McKenzie was the answer


bargeass is on dvd apparently, alvin purple i still havent watched, madame chiang kai shek is chiang kai sheks wife

I've got no idea so I'm going to guess C since she is the only one who is bearing a weapon and has a mask on:)

[TheDirtyDigger]

Haha...they're all bearing weapons. Well Mary herself is a weapon with super strength, speed and flight. Betsy has a psychic knife and Dinah wields a very powerful sonic scream.

But your answer is.........


going to be revealed after the break!






Ok were back. Now C was your answer Bart? Do you want to lock that in?
Yes?
Ok C is locked in.



That answer is...........

false!:p

[Tiby]

A - because her costume has no black in it?

[TheDirtyDigger]

Geez....process of elimination. Incorrect Tiby.
Mary Marvel also does wear a black variant on her costume as well but only when she has had her innocence corrupted.

Here's a hint. What analogy did Edna use with Comic Book Guy to explain why she couldn't marry him?

[Bartrim]

OKay I'm guessing it's because one is DC and the others are Marvel and judging by the picture that has Gothampublicworks on it I'll say D

[TheDirtyDigger]

*sigh*

You're on the right track but 'NO'!

Your answer is wrong.

Well...I guess there's not too many options left now is there?

[Kyle]

B. She's the only Marvel character. :)

These robots did get retooled into "Mighty Orbots" in America though.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_mars

[Bartrim]

I'll guess D

[Kyle]

I'll guess D

The answer is C, the Russian doll who knows kung fu~! :p

Robot in D is called Dancougar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancougar

Robot in C is called Baikanfu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Robo:_Revenge_of_Cronos

Gobots were originally "Machine Robo" toys from Japan. The first Machine Robo TV series in Japan featured Baikanfu as the series' main robot, making Baikanfu a long distance cousin of Gobots.

er rah c?

[TheDirtyDigger]

I think you think the answer is C.
It wasn't actually reissued as it is but another set based on it was created.

So my answer is C. EDIT: Oops...Roller already answered.
(btw I have three of those castles and 2 of C itself. One day I will get the yellow one and by coincidence it will probably be from a TF designer employed by Takara)

[Kyle]

I actually thought it was D. :p

http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/archives/6074.html

I used to have the yellow castle in my childhood. :( Been very very tempted to bid a good condition set from the evil bay...

I'll let either you or young roller ask the next question. :D

[TheDirtyDigger]

Oops. My bad:o I just remembered. D was reissued.
There is a heavily updated version based on C as well...:o

Correct.

I thought I'd throw in the crappy manga looking ones from the recent years to confuse people. Guess it didn't work~ :D

Doesn't fool this Marvel Zombie. :) Thanks to the backup strip in the UK Transformers comic, I actually read an Iron Man 2020 story before I ever read an actual Iron Man one.

Hmm as for a question... I've been working on Multiple choice TF questions for a little project, so thinking of a non-TF related one is hard!

Well it depends on what you count as a form, and if you count the anime only flashbacks...

lets see:
Fat Buu
Evil Buu
Super Buu
Super Buu Gotenks and Piccolo
Super Buu Gohan
Buff Buu (for about 30 seconds)
Kid Buu

My guess is A.7

-EDIT-
Dammit I realised I missed Super Buu Piccolo, when the Gotenks Fusion wearsa off. which means that DD should be the winner.

[Borgeman]

yep Digger is the winner

Fat Buu/Good Buu
Evil Buu
Super Buu Form 1 (when Evil Buu absorbed Fat Buu)
Super Buu Gotenks Form (with Gotenks and Piccolo absorbed)
Super Buu Piccolo Form (after gotenks fusion ends)
Super Buu Gohan Form (after absorbing Gohan)
Buff Buu (when Kid Buu absorbed South Kai in the past)
Kid Buu

Lord Zed is the winner!

King Bradley is actually a Homunculi, a soulless creature created from the remains someone attempting a Human Transmutation.
His differences are many:
He is not only a villain, but he also has no soul, lives off Philosopher's stones, cannot perform Transmutation's and instead his power comes from his Ouroboros tattoo.

Full Metal Alchemist really is a top series, I suggest giving it a go. The Manga it is based on is still running so the difference between the manga and anime is quite dramatic.

The answer is C: 7

Quote "The ruthless, merciless Viper shot and killed seven of the unarmed Joes and seemed to enjoy it... "

What a nice guy!

[Lord_Zed]

I'm afraid Roller lucked out on this one. Pulse gets major Kudos for finding out about the infamous Saw Viper unfortunately his source is technicaly wrong.

While 7 Joes died in the incident involving the Saw Viper, 3 of those Joes were killed when the vehicle they were esaping on was blown away by a Cobra armoured column. While the Saw Viper was there, he didn't actualy pull the trigger. The Saw Viper did however personaly kill the Joe medic Doc with a HMG burst at point blank range to the head, and then went on to mow down the Joes Thunder, Crankcase, and Heavy Metal who were all unarmed and traped in a ravine trying to shield thier comrades.

So yeah the Saw Viper was a really nice guy.

See here for a more accurate account.

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=m8Mk26SFtl4

[Pulse]

Thanks Mate :) When it comes to finding frivolous information, I'm your man :D.

From the link - I've highlighted the address:

"Animated sitcom in Day-Glo colors, about 20-somethings living in Mission Hill, the swinging section of the city of Cosmopolis. Andy ( Voice of Wallace Langham)was a wannabe cartoonist who worked as a salesman at Ron's Waterbed World. Sharing his cavernous loft apartment at 44 Bow Street were 2 roommates, the red-bearded, deep-voiced Jim ( Brian Posehn) and flower child Posey ( Vicki Lewis), an asspiring masseuse. Carlos, Natalie, and their baby ( Herbert Siguenza, Vicki Lewis)lived across the hall, and aging gay roommates , Gus and Wally ( Nick Jameson, Tom Kenny), were next door. In the premiere episode Andy was saddled with his annoying younger brother, Kevin ( Scott Menville), a super-smart but nerdy high-school senior ( he wore his S.A.T. scores on his T-Shirt) who moved in when their parents moved to Wyoming. Stogie, the big, dumb, family dog ( Nick Jameson) arrived with Kevin. Gwen ( Jane Wiedlin) was Andy's sometimes girlfriend. When the waterbed store was shut down by the government for nonpayment of taxes, Andy struggled to find another job. This episode, the first half of a two-part story was the last one to air on The WB."

But I like this part the best:

"Dismal ratings prompted the WB to pull Mission Hill after only 2 episodes." Crying Shame... :(

Anyway :), it's question time again:





Which Power Boat Racer turned Engineer has had a massive influence upon Drag Racing with his engine blocks becoming the one of choice amongst generations of Drag Racers?

A) Big John Mazmanian
B) Keith Black

I think the answer is "B" Keith Black.

I think he held some kind of speed record back in the 50's or something. Pretty sure he did it in a boat.
He made engines for Power Boats first, then the Drag racers wanted them, so he started making them engines in the mid 60's or so.

C

[GoktimusPrime]

bonus Q: D - Roller Force. pwned by pink. ;p

[Lord_Zed]

I'll say D: Four cause no ones taken it.

Technicaly though you got a glimpse of the Nazis in America in series 3, but you didn't find out they had invaded America till series 4. Series 3 and 4 enterpirse were rather impressive they were both mostly watchable.

The bonus question is obviously a trick question, as there's no right answer.

And Sisko is obviously way better than Archie. He's like the Samuel L Jackson of Startrek. Sure he's like cold tea, but the sorta cold tea that will pull your lower intestines out with is bare hands.

Besides its a little known fact that the Defiant class starships (as Commanded and worked on by Sisko) original name was "BMF class" as it owned any ship it was up against. Also it was originaly meant to be purple with Gold trim, but Starfleet thought that would be to intimidating for thier Klingon allies, and gave it a standard paint job and name.

[Fungal Infection]

Deep Space Nine rates as the best Star Trek series of all. Picard may be more diplomatic but Sisko has this no bullshit attitude which gets the job done.

[roller]

Naturally Lord Zed is correct

in some respects :) Sisko turns into a pretend deity and flys away into the wormhole. So whats he running away from? His son? His command? Real captains dont run away-real captains like season 4 Archer :D

A. Phantom Limb



donald Bradmon was and is evil

You're correct Roller. The Don was evil.
Back in the day before immygrunts from everywhere was allowed in our fair nation, there was mainly only Catolicks and Proddy's of roughly equal numbers making up most the population of Australia (apart from some Chinee from pre-1900 and the Terra Nullians).
The Don, being one of the ruling class of Proddy's, tried to have all the Catolicks taken off and banned from the Australian cricket team. So evil.
You can bet John Howard was a Proddy from way back.

[Lord_Zed]

While Phantom Limb did atempt a coup to sieze control of the Guild, he was ultimately unsuccessfull, and as suchy driven out of the guild, his assets given out to another guild member. Therefore the answer lies elsewhere.

Time has elapsed. New question...

Q: In martial arts, the Sanchin Stance (aka "Sanchin-dachi" 三戦立) originates from:
1. Shaolin (China)
2. Okinawa (Japan)
3. Fujian (China)
4. Cornwall (England)

http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Boardwalk/1980/Images/sanchin.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKbTp42z5yA&feature=related) <--click image to view video
(it sounds like Darth Vader fighting in slow-motion :D)

[loophole]

im gonna say 2. Okinawa (Japan)

[hotaru_oz]

I'm guessing Okinawa (Japan) also

[GoktimusPrime]

Not Okinawa, sorry. Game just got easier now with only 3 options left!

[GoktimusPrime]

36+ hours have elapsed. Awww...

The correct answer was #3, Fujian (China). Although Karate came from Okinawa, it was derived from Kung Fu from the Fujian province of China which is where the Sanchin form/stance originates from and is commonly used in Fujian Kung Fu styles such as Five Ancestors Fist (Wuzuquan). There's an obscure style of Fujian Kung Fu called Goroquan which is written in the same Kanji as "Gojuken" - and of course, Goju is one of the most well known styles of Okinawan Karate. :)

Video: Wuzu Sanchiem form (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yla9j0AangU&feature=related) - you can see the similarities to Karate's Sanchin Kata (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKbTp42z5yA). They even do the sharp breathing (although the music in the first video means you can't hear it but if you watch the guy's mouth you can see him doing it).

#1 Shaolin (China) is wrong. The one Japanese martial art that attempted to mimic Shaolin Kung Fu is Shorinji Kempo, although in reality they're two entirely different martial arts. Unlike the Okinawans who established links with the Fujian province and actually had like an exchange programme where they would directly trade knowledge, the Japanese monks relied on second hand information - images copied from fresco paintings on the Shaolin temple walls. And like Chinese whispers, the information became altered hence why Kempo doesn't really look anything like Shaolin Kung Fu at all. :p

Cornwall (England) is the birthplace of the forbidden Cornish & Lancastrian martial art of Ecky-Thump (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJxGi8bizEg). :)

New question!

Q: In architecture, what distinguishes a flying buttress?

c. buttresses support walls at corners but are built diagonally out of the corner of the wall, so forming a 135° angle between the buttress and each wall
d. buttresses support two walls as they meet at a corner by making some length of both walls at the corner thicker than the remainder of the wall
