Random Trivia 2

[=donkey-banjo=]

Well, the moment some of us members have been waiting for: It's RANDOM TRIVIA 2!!!

The same as the last one. The rules are:

*I will ask 15 questions. The person who answers the most correctly will be the winner(hint: there IS a reward).

*I will occasionally give hints when a continual amount of people answer incorrectly.

*Please abide by my score. If you believe there is something wrong with it, let me know, I guarantee you, I will start at the beginning here and recount.

*First person to give a correct answer earns the point

*I will simply decide when to give the answer

New rule:

*Sometimes, no one will get it right. Or if there are only two answers. If it takes forever to answer, and no one gets it, I will just give the answer and move on. There will be NO extra questions. Also, if its a two-choice question, and the very first answer to it is wrong, I will give no points to anyone who puts the other one. Too obvious.

Assuming that's the base of it, let's get started. I will keep score through-out the game in bold face. It will be easy to see.

Question 1: Which italicized word is the verb?

"The boy and his friend Ted decided that they were going to Kroger's tomorrow."

[P.o.t.O]

"decided."

[Andre]

Just checking here, but what is the prize? If it is reputation, then you should not being doing that. It would be considered abuse. Thank you.

[=donkey-banjo=]

Correct Poto!!!

P.o.t.O ... 1pt

All right! Next question!

Question 2: What do you do to get a Steelix? (Explain in detail kindof:p)

[jarrett155]

You have to trade an onyx to someone while it is holding steel coat if i remember.

[=donkey-banjo=]

Well, close. Steel is not the proper word for the item it must be weilding.

[P.o.t.O]

If memory serves right, the right item is a "Metal Coat". You have it hold a Metal Coat, then trade 'im.

Btw, how does an onyx hold a coat? He's got no freakin' hands! :p

[=donkey-banjo=]

Correct again!

P.o.t.O ... 2pts

Question 3: What is the common item found in the most common tree you would find in Florida?

[P.o.t.O]

Seeing as there's four of these trees in my backyard, I'm gonna go with Orange.

[Mr.Patch]

I would say leaves or birds.

[jarrett155]

i would have to say wood.

what if its winter

[Theguyoverthere]

i would have to say wood.

Nice. Technically you are right, as there is more wood than oranges, especially in the Winter ;)


Yes, it's obviously oranges. Keyword: Florida.

[=donkey-banjo=]

Oops. I didn't think of oranges. I was thinking coconuts:p

Let's skip this question, and make a new question 3.

Question 3: What is the capital of Alaska? (Spelling counts:p)

[jarrett155]

Juneau.

Shouldnt i have gotten the last question i mean think about it no matter what tree you are thinking of there is always gonna be wood.

[Banjo's Banjo]

Oops. I didn't think of oranges. I was thinking coconuts:p

Let's skip this question, and make a new question 3.

Question 3: What is the capital of Alaska? (Spelling counts:p)

(I really haven't seen coconuts locally. It's not exactly common. ;) )

[jarrett155]

you are off count on questions. the capitol one should have been 4

[=donkey-banjo=]

(I really haven't seen coconuts locally. It's not exactly common. ;) )

That's just always what I thought of when I thought of trees in Florida. I live in Ohio:)

Good job jarrett155!! Point for you!!

P.o.t.O ... 2pts

Question 4: If you have 4 + 10 -155 +341 divided by 50 x 7 + 2 divided by 3 = x

What does x equal?

you are off count on questions. the capitol one should have been 4

Well, go back a couple posts, where I said that I was skipping question 3 on account of misunderstanding and making a NEW question 3.

[jarrett155]

-118.0733333333333

[=donkey-banjo=]

Nope, try again.

(Glad to see your rep block is colored green again nice job jarrett:))

[jarrett155]

are you sure i got it wrong are you using pemdos.

[P.o.t.O]

I think...at the moment, we're talking around -139.36 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

PEMDAS, btw. Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction.

(Edit: Thank you. Slip of the finger. :p)

[=donkey-banjo=]

No...no no no no no, no PEMDAS. I know what it means. Sorry, I should have been more specific. Just do it in the order I typed it. Not Algabraic order.

EDIT: (P.o.t.O, not PEDMAS, PEMDAS lol)

[P.o.t.O]

Oh, in that case, I'll say -92.593333333333333...

[=donkey-banjo=]

Lol you are WAY off. It comes out even. Try a calculator;)

[P.o.t.O]

Oh, I got it now. It's 10!

x = 10 + 4 = 14
x = 14 - 155 = -141
x = -141 + 341 = 200
x = 200/50 = 4
x = 4(7) = 28
x = 28 + 2 = 30
x = 30/3 = 10
x = 10

[=donkey-banjo=]

You are right P.o.t.O!!! What a beast! lol:p

Question 5: What is another name for "musk-melon"?

[P.o.t.O]

Bonus Question 1: [Listening Question]

Okay. Follow the instructions. Afterward, you put all these weird words in one sentence and you may get the point.

First: Type in "lnkto te pst" in a google search (no quotes).

Type a "1" and a space in your answer here, and copy and paste the thing google says it could be. Meaning, if you type something wrong in, it'll say Did you Mean ... so and so. copy and paste the Did You mean thing that pops up.

Next, type in "Bulbasaur" in a google search. Go to the third website you see. Go to disadvantages, and type in a "2" for your answer here, space, then copy and paste the fourth disadvantage that Bulbasaur has.

Lastly, type in "Christmas Poem" in a google search. Go to the first website that pops up. Type a "3" for your answer here, space, then copy and paste the fourth poem down. (Click on the poem first, then copy and paste it.

If you followed directions correctly, you will get a 3 point bonus for this. If you don't get it after a while, I'll just give the answer, and we'll move back to the regular questions.

[Springer2006]

1: Link To The Past
2: Bug
3: Can anyone explain the glow of Christmas?
Holidays are candles in the night.
Rebirth comes from family and friends
In one bright blur of food and talk that ends
Still burning as a peaceful inner light.
There is no way to substitute for Christmas.
Miss it and no circumstance feels right.
All my heart's with you, yet I must miss this
Season thick with love and rich delight.

Is that right?

[=donkey-banjo=]

You are EXCELLENT at directions! That's three pts right off the bat!

Lol. Okay. I'll give you the point.

Well, back to question 6.

Question 6: What is Hakey Wake's first name?

[P.o.t.O]

James.

I'd like to note two things:

1. Hakey Wakey looks like David Tennant.
2. That page about pokemon was filled with spyware.

[Macsbuddy]

oh crud...is it too late for me to join in?

[Springer2006]

That page about pokemon was filled with spyware.

Oh crap.

[=donkey-banjo=]

jarrett155 ... 1pt

Springer2006 ... 3pts

I'll try my best to make this next one hard so you have to look it up.

Question 7: Where did Pecan Pie originate?

I need two things for a legit answer:

1) Where

and

2) By what kind of people (examples: Spanish ppl, etc.)

(No, Spanish is NOT the answer:p)

If you tell me when, I'll give you an extra point.

(Btw, if someone answers, but doesn't give the extra point answer, someone else can give that answer for an extra point).

[jarrett155]

Question 9: What kind of light is a flashlight?

[jarrett155]

could you be a little more specific unless the answer you are looking for is flash.

[Soulreaper41392]

Electric light, from a filament in a lightbulb. If that's what you mean...

[=donkey-banjo=]

No. I will give an example: Neon is a type of light. Solar is light that comes from the sun (and don't put LUNAR because that's just solar bouncing off the moon lol;).)

So...the type of light that a flashlight uses is...inc _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

[jarrett155]

i believe it is incandecsent. i might have spelled that wrong.

[=donkey-banjo=]

jarrett gets it right.

Question 10: Make a pronounciation of the word "hypocrite".

For example, the word "hello" would look something like this: "<huh-loh>"

[Soulreaper41392]

hip-uh-krit

[Macsbuddy]

HIP-o-crit

[Soulreaper41392]

I don't even think =D-B= is checking this thread anymore...

[=donkey-banjo=]

Sorry. I didn't check it as often. I will try to.

Anyway, no, I don't think those are what I was looking for. Here's a hint:

If you have "hint", the first part would be "hihn" because of the "ih" right before the n. So hint would be <hihnt>.

[jarrett155]

I left for the day and I missed a question.:(

PS:Thanks for the advice.

[=donkey-banjo=]

You are welcome jarrett155:)

And it is okay if you missed one. There will be plenty more (and perhaps a Random Trivia 3 *excitement*)

[jarrett155]

I think Soulreaper got it right.

[=donkey-banjo=]

He was close. Why don't you take a guess?

[jarrett155]

I looked at a dictionary.;)
It said:hip'e krit'

[jumbo mumbo]

I still think Soul got it.

[Soulreaper41392]

I think this "Soul" character got it right too.

[jarrett155]

Soul got what is on Dictionary.com but Soul did not get what is in an actual dictionary.

[=donkey-banjo=]

[Soulreaper41392]

Spider eggs, I think.

[jumbo mumbo]

also I don't think it's stile made of this, but it used to be made of something called Chicle. It may be still made of that. Also, rubber. And other extra stuff.

Donkey Banjo, you can not give out reputation as a price. I realize that it is not much rep and is probably already been done, but remember this in the future.

[P.o.t.O]

Good Game.

*Roll Credits*

...erm, I guess there aren't any credits. Then I'll just end this'n.
